How to Pass the Civil Service Exam in the

Philippines in One Take

By Fehl Dungo 833 Comments

You can pass the Civil Service exam in one take if you follow the tips I am
sharing in this post. It is also known as Career Service Exam or
Professional Civil Service exam. I took the examination myself and
successfully passed it without cramming my brains out and burning the
midnight oil. I had a humble grade of 82.97 and that was not my best
shot because taking the exam was just a spur of the moment that time I
was working in the government.

And yes, the CSC Professional Eligibility in the Philippines is one of the
requirements to be working to many government offices and agencies
like GSIS, SSS, BIR etc. If you passed it, you can even be eligible to apply
as a police officer and join the PNP. There are so many benefits of being
a civil service eligible professional. Make your schedule now and you will
love the result.

Tips on how to pass the Civil Service

Exam a.k.a. Career Service Exam
Remember, there is also available exam for Sub-professional Career
Service exam but I recommend you take the Professional level right
away since you know you can anyway. Also these things I’m going to
share here are just tips. I’m NOT going to give answers or reviewers for
the exam here okay. You can either choose Paper and Pencil Test
(PPT) or Computer Exam (COMEX). I did the PPT since I had the test in
my province.
 Apply early before taking the exam. The Civil Service Commission
always posts their announcement for the dates of Professional and Sub-
Professional examination schedule. They give exam twice or thrice a year.
Apply early to avoid the rush and deadline. This will give you enough
time to relax and review. Check out this year’s Civil Service Exam
Schedule.

Review and refresh your knowledge. There is a complete reviewer for

the CSC Exam available online for free. The site is 1taker.com. Many
people have passed the exam successfully using that online reviewer.
Perhaps you will be the next passer. It would really sharpen up your mind
and refresh your knowledge. The site also contains instructions about
taking the CSC test. It covers all subjects for both Career Service
Professional and Sub-Professional so it’s worth it.

Relax. It is so important to relax and breathe calmly in taking the exam.

The exam covers many topics and your common sense and logic will be
used so much. Panicking won’t wake your stock knowledge up. Besides,
stressing and panicking would distract your mood.

Go to the bathroom before the exam starts. They only allow a certain
time for going out the room so it is important to do your bathroom
rituals before the test starts. Remember, every second counts.

Enjoy the quiz. I honestly enjoyed the exam and I didn’t even feel I took
one. It felt like playing Sudoku game in the ipad and reading some blog
posts. The test covers the following and it’s really just the same as taking
an entrance exam in college.

 English and Filipino vocabulary

 This is my Career Service Professional Eligibility
certificate. You’ll be issued one if you passed the exam. It’s an asset anywhere you apply

 grammar and correct usage

 paragraph organization
 reading comprehension
 analogy and logic

 numerical reasoning
 clerical reasoning, functions and procedures
 general information questions (about Philippine Constitution; Code of Conduct and Ethical
Standards for Public Officials and Employees, peace and human rights issues, environmental
protection)

Have some sweets while you do the quiz. I confess I was eating
Cadbury mini chocolates (they are like candies) at some parts of the
exam especially on that logic and analogy part. I also needed sweets to
wake up my logic doing the grammar and vocabulary. There are so many
unfamiliar words and you have to really analyze which is synonymous to
what and which not.

Bring extra pencils. Extra pencils can save your time sharpening one.
Your time is precious for the exam not some other extra activities.

Avoid shading excessively. Just shade lightly on the paper and your
best answer. Never shade everything and answer only the items with
questions. Never leave a number unanswered.
 80 is the passing rate. Believe in yourself that you can get more than
80. If you do, you’ll likely pass it. Can I say – you know already if you
would pass the test from the beginning? It’s true. The 80 percent know it
in their bones already; the 20 percent are just not quite sure.

The CSC exam results are posted at the official website of CSC. Good luck
and congrats in advance. I hope my tips helped you somehow. If you
want to know the requirements on how to take the Career Service exam
in the Philippines and want to have a free reviewer, just go to the

professional) instead to help many Filipinos. I will also make a pdf and
ebook version soon. I just made the website first for now. I’m releasing it
