How to Pass the Civil Service Exam in the Philippines in One Take

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
how to pass civil service exam
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 following page:

civil service online reviewer
The best Online Reviewer for CSE is Free and has it all about taking the exam

Many requested for a book but I decided to make a free website for REVIEWER for Career Service Examination (Professional and Sub-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 this week.  Always happy to help and spread useful knowledge especially how to pass the Civil Service exam in one take 🙂

  16. I took the exam just last march, and luckily, I passed 🙂 while reading the tips above I couldn’t agree more. That’s exactly what I did when I took my exam. I was cramming the night before the test but eventually told myself that cramming will not help me in any way and so I just take my time to relax and just leave it to the Lord and to the knowledge I have also. Before taking the exam proper, I was so nervous but since I have the background of the exam flow, it’s easier to cope up. (better have some review and something like dry run before doing the test to lessen the tension) I scanned the whole questionnaire first and smiled ( you know na what it implies) hehe. I was totally enjoying the whole test and just gave the best I could to answer and of course believing that I can pass the exam. i just gave it a one shot, ibinigay ko talaga lahat. And, yes it’s paid off. Hehe. Walang hindi kakayanin basta paghihirapan. Mag review lang din kayo sa mga parts ng exam na alam niyong medyo mahina kayo, in my case MATHEMATICS, nagpaturo talaga ako sa younger brother, and it helped me a lot. Thank you to the good Lord for the sustaining wisdom for the whole 3 hours test 🙂

    • Based on my experience, I did not use any reviewer.. you just have to review your notes. Particularly on Mathematics. And try searching on google about analogy..

  19. Welp. I took it a few days ago, and it’s literally just TIME MANAGEMENT: The Exam. You are given 3 hours and 10 minutes for 170 items, and if it were 4 hours instead, the thing would be a piece of cake. At around 1 hour (or less) remaining, expect to have only finished the English portion and like 60-70% of math portion (unless magaling ka sa math, ikaw na!). The exam composed of +100 items on English, +50 on math and VERY FEW on constitution.

    I spent a lot of time prepping for English, but found out that I really shouldn’t have at all. The questions were extremely basic, you see. It’s just that there are tons of them and some are very time-consuming! Math and constitution are also just as basic. The REAL KILLER is number sequence! If you have limited time to prepare and you know you’re not that bad at English, you must absolutely practice no calcu math computations and SEQUENCING instead. You want to be at the level where you (((for most of the time)))) won’t even have to use scratch paper anymore. Practicing speed reading and actually retaining what you read will also come in handy.

    I get nervous in preparation for exams and tend to overprepare. I have 8 MSA books and test questionnaires (as well as Busto’s yellow CSC reviewer). Aside from those, I have also done massive information gathering on countless forums and downloaded more questionnaires to answer and learn from. I also looked into the statistics of passers (age, range of grades, occupation, etc.). And what did I learn from doing all those? The exam is basic af and I feel silly being too serious about it. I did so many things, and yet very few of them appeared on the exam. It really falls down to time management and stock knowledge so you can only really be in a bad position if the only thing you did in high school is check Facebook all day or flirt with your lover.

    I made some friends during the exam day – one of them a woman who has failed the exam a few times. According to her (*this may or may not be true), the grading for the exam, and why it results on weird grades that doesn’t align with zero-based grading, goes like this:
    – you have to at least get 80% correct on English portion
    – at least 80% correct on math portion
    – also 80% on constitution/general information portion
    Then the grades for the separate portions get averaged or whatever. This means since the constitution questions are very few in total, you can only afford to have really few mistakes. If you fail to do so then you pray to your God that the other portions will save you.

    • Hello! I find your tips helpful. Nakasched ako by August and I am yet to refresh my knowledge. Weakness ko ang math kaya doon ako magfocus. Sana makapasa!

      Reply
      • 1sttimer, good luck! Like I said, TIME MANAGEMENT. Umpisa pa lang (english portion), bilisan mo na! Pero wag naman to the point na nagkandamali-mali ka na! Ang killer sa part na yon ay paragraph sequencing at paragraph reading dahil matatagalan ka sobra doon! Sa math naman, MSA books are alright, I guess. Meron kaonting mga graphs. Basta practice ka lang talaga sa pagko-compute ng mabilis at manualan! Dapat din SOLID ka sa mga fractions, percentages, decimals, etc.

        Sa Constitution, wag mo pa rin baliwalain. Babasa-basahin mo pa rin. Nung nag-take kami, ang mga tanong doon ay usually:
        – “Ilan ba ang dapat na percentage ng mga X para ma-apprubahan ang Y? Majority ba dapat ng board? 1/3? 2/3?”
        – “Anong araw ang filing ng X? Every quarter ba? O baka naman every first day of month Y?”
        – “Kapag hindi inaprubahan ang papeles Y, wala na kaya itong pag-asa o pwede pa kaya itong ipasa kay Government sector Z para muling i-appeal?”
        – etc.

        Kaya mo yan.

  21. Man, I’m so nervous. Other people are saying this exam is peanuts (like college entrance exam-tier), but then there’s that very low passing rate. What! I bet it’s because of that +54 paged constitution rights… or maybe because of no calcu math?

    I can’t tell if I’m not yet prepared or if I’m TOO prepared, and I hate it.

    Reply
  22. The CSC exam is a no-brainer. I passed it in just 1 take without even reviewing. I got 91%. I was a fresh graduate from UP when I took it so I guess that helped. You only need High School Math and skills in reading comprehension and vocabulary to ace it. Reading intensively and extensively helped too because it improves your vocabulary.

    Good luck! you can do it!

    Reply
    • “I was a fresh graduate from UP when I took it so I guess that helped?” Sorry Ms. Ann, but I don’t think it was a factor to passing the exam. It is enough to mention your rating so you could gain credibility and people would take note of your advice but to actually attribute the “success” to where you graduated? Seriously??

This is the site that serve as my guidelines on what to do. 2 months before exam and also this blog is a big help. I take last april 17, 2016 and Thank god I passed. I dont know my score yet. Advice ko lang sa magtatake pa, study in advance like 2 months before the exam kahit 3 hours per day basta ma refresh mo yung higschool lessons nyo yung basics. and this site is divided into different topics. So take time to relax on reviewing then 3 days before the exam. Stop reviewing and have a good sleep.

  43. I passed the two examinations actually. The subprof was when I was in University, I got a staggering 89.97. The professional one, I got 83.91. All “take one”. My secrets? Persistence. More practice. Preparations. Reading comprehension is quite tedious so you really have to be reading articles or books and understand them. I write down vocabularies that I don’t understand, look it up at the dictionary and thesaurus for antonyms and synonyms. For mathematical test, I found it helpful if you have formulas with you, write them down, memorize them by heart, I sought help from Math wizards like teachers or a friend who is more into math.

    Generally, preparation is the key and a positive attitude. Goodluck everyone

  44. Yes, really true…just review/refresh your knowledge, relax and enjoy the exam, don’t put pressure on it. I did it while waiting for the result of my Board Exam and I past both. Well, I also took the Sub-professional while in college. I Just took them even I’m not yet working so I really was not pressured at that time. Good Luck to all the future examinees.

  49. I passed the Civil Service sub-professional exam in 1993 with an 87% rating, but it was useless because I found that it was hard to land a job in the government. It seemed to me that besides passing the Civil Service exams, you also need a “backer” or someone in the higher ups in a government agency to be able to land a job there. So I did not take the CS Professional exam anymore.

    Reply
    • tiwala lang sa sarili. after 5 years of trying I landed a career in thr phil. government and it is all worth it! Mahirap process at maraming set of exams ang mga agencies but do not give up. abang abang sa mga positions at mag apply ka personally sa agencies.

      Reply
      • it’s a pity that we have an employment situation like that. but why bother yourself about it? just take the exam, pronto! who knows what’s up tomorrow for you?

        me? though i had my first job in the government, i was thinking then to look for employment elsewhere.. in short, i did not intend to stay in the government service for long, at least, at that time.

        despite ignoring my fellow government employees’ advice to take the civil service exam, they did not stop until i relented.

        I took it as challenge and was fortunate enough to pass it on my first try. I got 85.19 percent.

        the key? in addition to what had been offered above, just take it as a challenge you have to hurdle!

        good luck.

  50. i didn’t even review and i passed the CSP in one take with a rating of 90%+++. i was a fresh graduate from college. what it takes to pass the exam is basic knowledge in English and Algebra (High School English and High School Math).

  52. hi maam,,gdnun,, ask lng po if pwd bang mg exam ng profesional level sa CSC even 2 yrs graduate lng?????thanks..

    Reply
    • I think not. Technically, you have to have a university/college degree to be able to be eligible to take the test at this level. I think in your application form it will ask you what will be your highest education. But you can always double check with CSC if you’re not sure. Goodluck!!

    • yes, it has time limit for every subject. The last exam had 170 items. It is very time consuming so you need to answer the questions correctly as quickly as possible. Our reviewer can help you pass the exam in one take.

  59. I passed the exam in 1 take. Laking tulong po yung site na ito. At least nagka idea ako kung paano iyon.
    Nagreview lang ako 3 days before the exam. All I can say is that you really have to take your studies seriously. Stock knowledge karamihan dito. Simula high school up to present pagbutihin mo na. Mahirap yung exam. Sa room, ako ang pinakahuling natapos. Tapos dalawa lang kaming first-timer. Sobrang lungkot ko kasi akala ko bagsak na ako. Hindi ako ginanahan manood ng Pacquiao-Mayweather he he.

  93. Thank you for this website because I’ve passed the CS exam Prof last April 6, 2014. I just followed all the tips posted in this site and it helped me to pass the CS Exam. In fact, a week before the exam I answered sample questions on Reading Comprehension Test, Exercises and Strategies on March 26, 2014 at 5:55pm.

    To those who failed the CS Exam for several times, don’t lose hope since this is also my 4th take. Here are the tips which I can share with you in passing the CS Exam:

    1.) have at least one or two review materials – I remember when I took my first, second and third exam, I have five (5) review materials which it didn’t worked for me. By this time, I bought only one (1) updated CS reviewer at National Book Store (color blue). You’ve to read, understand and be familiarized with the subject matters.

    2.) take your time during the exam – make it sure that when you answered the questions, you’re 100% sure. If you’re not sure proceed to the next questions.

    3.) don’t bring your review materials on the day of exam – be confident that you’ll pass the CS exam.

    4.) start your review at least 1 month prior the exam – In my case, I started to review one (1) month prior to the exam. You can review at least 2-3 hours per day and do not push yourself to review everyday if you think you’re not in the mood.

    5.) Don’t pass your test papers if not instructed by the proctor – My seatmate passed his papers 30 minutes before time (badtrip lng kasi kinabahan ako). I’m the last person who submitted my test papers.

    6.) eat chocolates – I eat three (3) chocolates (FLAT TOPS) during the exam.

    7.) bring water and vitamins.

    8.) PRAY before and after exam.

        • Hey there! You are already a Professional Eligible there is no need to take Sub-prof. There is a competition for job positions even in the government – it depends upon the position you will apply. Apply to those that don’t require college degrees. There are still some positions for you just apply and don’t lose hope. What is important is you are eligible. If you can finish college, do so. You’ll have more opportunities then. Good luck!

          • Yes, you can view the ratings and the list of passers at the CSC website. But for newly passers, I think it would take time before they will be view-able and can be posted. Just give time for the CSC to put them online. Congrats!

      • Ask ko lang, may lockers or iwanan po ba ng mga gamit sa testing places? paano kung may bag ka? pwede mo parin dalhin? (I know it sounds like a silly question but I am thinking about it because I will be taking the test alone and I have no one to give my things to.) 😀

  127. I passed the CSC prof exam last october 2013. Ang matitip ko lng sa mga kukuha this april..

    * magreview kayo ng mabuti dun sa mga part na mahina kayo.
    * sa pagkakaalala ko mas madali ang Actual exam kesa sa mga reviewers haha
    * KAPAG hindi mo talaga alam ang sagot, sagutan mo nalng wag mong lalagpasan
    * Eliminate mo ang mga sagot, mas madaling mamili kapag 2 na lang ang choices.
    * Wag MAPREPESURE kapag may nagtatayuan, Isipin mo solo ka lang RELAX
    * WAG kabahan!
    * Magbasa bsa ng mga blog at you tube vides na makakatulong sa inyo especially ung mga motivational videos.
    * Wag din kayong magfocus sa isang tanong, umaandar ang oras

  130. Very informative tips!
    It is very true that you’re more in control & focus when you’re calm & happy. I took my csc nonprof last 1998 1st time & got 88.8%. Now i’m taking csc prof 1st time this april 2014. Its good the filing was extended from feb20 to feb 27 & i was able to filed feb 26.
    For those on the middle-aged group like me(im 42yo) it is not quite late &there’s no shame to make it still. Though im a govt employee since 2007 a csc passer is a big advantage for promotion too. Hope to make it 1st shot on csc prof next month!
    Thanks for the tips.

  154. In my case I took the cs prof exams about 6 years ago and I also took it in a single blow. I haven’t had any type of reviewer or paid any review center. What I solely possess is the 1987 constitution booklet and a print out of the RA 6713 from the web. I just read these materials everyday for two weeks without a miss. I did it after my work in a department store as a sales clerk. That’s my secret.

    I passed the exams over the passing grade.

    • They use machines in checking the answers on the sheets. So it’s advisable we don’t overshade stuff and erase excessively. Perhaps you need not worry if it’s a neat and light erasure. Be scared if you have made a hole or something on the paper LOL

    • If you are already a board passer like CPA etc, means you already are licensed as a professional thus you are already eligible to most of the jobs you want. Same is thru as those who were Magna cum laude, they are considered eligible already. I’ve read that somewhere. I’ll try to search the exact law about that and share with you once I found it 🙂

    • Republic Act 1080 exempts BAR and BOARD passer from taking the Civil Service, That means, you are automatically a Civil Service Passer by virtue of the RA1080. You just need to go the Civil Service Office and file for an exemption. Visit the Civil Service website so you will know what are the requirements and where to go to file.

      Visit the link below for the full script of the RA1080.

  183. I already passed the Sub-Prof exam last 2009 and yes, we share the same experience. There was really nothing to worry about because the exam is purely about analysis if you are not very familiar of the question. Now i am scheduled for Prof exam this Oct. 13, 2013. I wonder how can we apply for a career in a Government institution? Have you tried or are you in a real Civil service right now. I guess those employed at the Govt. agencies are all politicians associates. And i hate to be placed in a position just because of being associated to the elected government servant.

  184. Hi!

    Reply
  186. guys, this is an eligibilty test, its is important for you to prepare at least 3 months before the exam and not rely on the review centers and reviewers alone. stuck knowledge will help and please, read Readers Digest since most of the vocabularies came from RD , there is a section at RD that includes high falluten words which may be given. old issues will do and u can buy at recto to be cheaper, and read with a dictionary with u. math will help you increase the chance so u start practicing the integers, fraction, series and sequences and division of decimal numbers. MSAreviewers doesnt help at all. youre sole knowledge will help you. as i am saying read and practice.never mind the general knowledge, it only covers 5 percent of the whole exam. focus on math and vocabulary. un abstract exam common sense naman. so math lang talaga and english. just saying.

  187. Hey there! It’s so kind of you to share your experience taking your Civil Service Exam. I got a couple of questions and it would be very nice if you can answer some of them, if not all hehe. Some of my friends told me that there are questions related to international law, is this true? Another one is, by general info do you mean like current events, govt abbreviations, activities of the govt, etc? And lastly, i got this civil service practice test booklet by MSA in national bookstore and the words in the vocabulary part’s really stressing me out haha! Do you really need to sharpen your vocabulary to the highest level in preparation for the Civil Service Exam? My apologies for the long message hehe. You seem to be responsive and friendly so i took the chance 🙂 thank you so much! I hope you could answer some of my questions. Have a good day/night!

    Reply
    • International law? When I took the professional CSC exam, there were questions about law but they were about the Philippine constitution and they were like 2-3 questions only. Don’t worry too much. 🙂 Vocabulary from the reviewer I used were also hard. If you know about consistency, brevity, parallelism in English sentence and grammar application, you can surely pass it. That was one of my secret in finding the correct synonyms and antonyms aside from ‘elimination’ method. Geez, you don’t need to master English words and unfamiliar terms. Don’t worry, just analyze things carefully and you’ll get the best answer. You express your English very good in the comments here, I’m sure you’ll pass it 🙂 Have a good day too!

  188. Hi Guys! share naman kayo ng questions about sa mathematics 🙂 meron bang about rational expressions dun? or yung mga mahihirap na equation? thanks guys! let’s help each other to pass the civil exam! aja! 🙂

    • simple ratios and fractions yeah. Math in the exam is not really difficult although no calcu is allowed. If you understand and know how to add, subtract, divide, multiply and know fractions, percent, decimal and simple Math, you’ll pass it 🙂

      Reply
      • Thank You for your response. Ahm, Im just wondering if there are math word problems included? Like, distance, age, percentage word problems? been studying for more than a month now. sana makapasa 🙂 thanks again.

  189. Kakapasa q lng dito last april 2013, Professional. ang saya. Kahit na binasa q lng un MSA reviewer na hiniram q a night b4 d exam. Haha. Busy kc sa thesis nun, no tym to review. Just relax lng, khit na aq nun e kinabahan din tlga. Haha! Tas yung paubos na ung oras pero nasa #100 plang aq tas up to 165(if I’m not mistaken) un exam. Shade nlang ng shade. Nyahaha.

    And another thing, mas ok tlga kung prof na agad un kunin, regardless nman un kun HS grad ka lng or not, pag subprof kc, pang-Rank and file position lng dw. Syempre dba un gusto natin un maippromote tayo sa mataas na position as time goes by. 😀

    Goodluck sa mga mageexam this october! 🙂

    • Math is not that easy although it requires quick analogy and quick computation to keep up with the time allotted. Besides, no calculator was allowed. I wish it was all Math 🙂 I love Math.

    • Professional exam is for those who graduated college thus “Professionals” while Sub-professional exam is for those who have completed at least 2 years in college. So if you have graduated college, jump to Professional already and take it

    • thanks sa encouraging words dito sa site…260.00 nga po pala bili ko before ang kulay orange na CSC reviewer by Pangan, Novales.,.nahiya na ako magsabi sa iba na mag re-take ako ng exam this oct, saka na lang pag nakapasa na talaga kasi malaki expectation nila sa akin….whatever outcome of my upcoming exam, I will always learn a lesson.

      Reply
      • Good news. I found the book reviewer among the old textbooks my Mom kept. Yes the authors are M.S.J. Pangan and M.D. Novales. It was only P175 when I bought it back in 2008 and it’s 2007 edition. The new and latest edition would be worth more. Thanks Malene! I will put the photo of the book in the article today. I’ll be glad to lend my book to interested users for free that is if you’re near where I live (Pampanga)

        God bless and Good luck!

        • Thanks, Ma’am. …Php260.00 ( bought 2010). I think it is true that those who improved or good either in English or Mathematics skills have a higher chance of passing the CSC exam just like you, Ma’am.

    • It’s not MSA. I bought it back in 2008. It was orange and the title was CSC Professional Exam Reviewer. I forgot who the author was since it was few years ago already. It was the same book used by my sister too and she passed the professional exam after I had mine. I lent the book to different persons so it is not here anymore. I just hope they return it. hehe I was trying to find it recently at National bookstore but I couldn’t find same copy.

  206. Hi I’ve passed the exam too last April 14, 2013. However, I have no idea how to get my COE. can you give Tips/Instructions how and where can I get it?… A little help would be really much appreciated. Thank you.

    P.S:
    If you don’t mind me asking. How can I apply to the government agencies, is application online available? hehehe.

    Reply
    • Wait for a letter that will be sent by Civil Service to you. Included in the mail are the instructions when and how to claim your Certificate of Eligibility. You can apply at any government agency you choose provided you are eligible and you meet their criteria for the hiring position. Apply personally by going to their offices. Applying online doesn’t always work because most websites are not updated.

      Reply
      • Hi. Thank you for answering my queries. It really helps a lot.

        Anyway, you really have a good article here. It is very concise and precise. In fact, most of what you’ve told here is what I did when I took the exam. Most exams shouldn’t really be a matter of how you reviewed but how you took the exam. The bottom line is “JUST RELAX AND TAKE IT EASY” ^_^

  207. Thanks for this tips bro.. these are just so basic but the most inspicuous and important. I’m just wondering if how much would be the chances that after passing the exam, you’ll be able to land a job in some government agencies?

    Reply
    • If you passed the Professional Civil exam you’ll be eligible to work in the government. They will issue you your certificate. It’s an asset especially if your average is 90+. Anyway, passing is 80 so it’s fine as long as you passed coz that means you’re eligible and you’ll have all the benefits of being one. You’ll get listed in the Civil Service Commission pool of eligible candidates. It’s gonna be easier for you to get accepted and get hired in any government office/agency because that’s the first requirement of being a government employee. Of course if you won’t apply at those companies, you wont land a job. There are so many government offices you can apply, I suggest you apply to all of them. Benefits are always good since the budget is given by the government. You can work at SSS, GSIS, LTO, Philhealth, Pagibig, AFP, PNP, and a lot lot more. Cheers!

        Reply
        • It’s entirely multiple choice although there are some categories like reading comprehension, math, logic, general information, grammar etc. When I took it, we were given an hour per subject/category and the others maybe 40 mins. It took a half day. So it’s important you really took your breakfast and bring water to hydrate yourself and chocolates in my case to keep me more alert 🙂
