Thanks a lot https://philpad.com/ for providing us tips and ways how to hurdle this challenge. I hope you can guide more those who wanted also to make a success in this exam. 😉

  72. good day po..tanong ko lang po sana kung wala p po valid id..?anu po kelangan?pwd po b ung birth certificate?

  73. Hi. nagreserve ako ng slot for computer test through comex. the personal appearance and exam is scheduled for next week. According to the email I got from them, the only requirement needed is ID. pero yung ID ko lang is School ID withouth birthdate listed. So, pwede bang Certificate of Live Birth yung dalhin instead of NSO birth certificate (nawawala kasi, kukuha pa lang ako baka hindi ko makuha before the date of my exam). Thanks!

  74. Dapat po bang personal na mag-file? Pwede po ba ibang tao lang mag-pass?? Bibigyan lang siya ng authorization pwede po ba yun?? Salamat po.

  75. San po ba malapit na CSC to apply application for October 2014 Professional PPT exam? Dito po ako sa Rosario Pasig.

  77. Hi. Ask ko lang. Kailangan ba ikaw directly mag-file or pwede ipapasa sa iba (for example: sa kapatid)? Di ko kasi maasikaso ipasa dahil sa work. Thanks po.

  78. Tanong ko lang po. Paano po ang gagawin kapag po nawala yung application receipt po for csc examination po. Nanakawan po kasi ako ng wallet. Nandoon po sa wallet yung application receipt ko. Please help po. Thanks 🙁

    • Go to the CSC and bring your valid IDs and 2 photos with name plate and signature when claiming your certificate. You can claim it even if you lost the receipt, just make sure you have valid IDs.

    • I think it’s allowed as long as the applicant already filled out the form and signed it and her requirements are complete na.

  80. Dito po ako sa Cainta Rizal, San po ba malapit na CSC to apply application for October 2014? Possible po ba application thru online? how?

  81. Hi! I took Civil Service Sub-Professional last April 6, 2014. Fortunately, and by god’s grace, I passed the exam. Now, I am preparing myself to take the Professional Level.

    Is there a big difference between the Sub-Pro exam and the Pro exam?

    Can you give me some advice on how to pass the Professional because I think Professional is harder than Sub?

    Thank you a lot! 😀

  82. ask ko lng if may idea kau na ok lng dito sa manila magfile at submit ng requirements pero by october sa iloilo kukuha ng exam? by october nasa iloilo ksi ako. thnx

  84. Hi po, papaano po magfile ng application sa field office ng csc sa dfa? Saan po banda ang entrance dun? Thank you po

    • Not really, you can submit valid IDs. TOR can support application if you are a student though. See the complete application requirements in our partner reviewer website. The steps in applying and the tips in taking the exams are there

  87. Hi! Hindi po ako makapagreserve using the csc comex website. Madalas syang hindi mag open and pag nagoopen nagse-server not responding sa kalagitnaan. Is there any other way I can reserve a slot? I was going to apply for the October exam date but if there’s one in August doon na lang ako.

    At saka amg csc comex ba sa central office lang tinetake? Or pwede ba sa field office?

    Thank you!

    • Yes the Computer Assisted Exam is always held at the main office. Maybe in teh future they will add more testing centers for the computerized exam. Better apply personally for the exam po before the deadline

  88. wala po bang testing center dito sa Gensan ? kailan po ulit yung exam next year? thanks po 🙂

  91. Hi… May address po ba kayo ng CS Manila testing centers kung saan pwede magfile ng exam application? Ayoko po kasi maligaw.. Thanks!

  98. saan po dito sa manila ang testing center??saan po ako pupunta dito sa manila para mag fillup ng application??

    • Many already passed the CS Exam using our online reviewer. 🙂 Effective review and preparation are the keys 🙂

    • Computer Assisted exam is usually once or twice a year and it’s held in Manila. If you passed the CSC Prof, you don’t need to take Paper and Pencil Test again for Prof. again

  110. Sana po mabigyan din ng chance makapag exam ang mga ofw na gustong kumuha ng civil service examination

  111. Paano po kung gusto kong kumuha ng civil service exam pero nasa abroad po ako nag tatrabaho.may chance po ba na pwede mag take dito sa philippine consolate?….sana po masagot nyo katanungan ko.maraming salamat po

    • If the Phil. Consulate schedule an exam for CSC, you can take it there but I doubt it’ll happen since it needs budget and more work

    • hi elel! okay lang itanong kung anong rating mo? nagtanong na ko sa csc, wala pa daw advisory tungkol sa national top ten eh..

  114. bat ang antique hindi kasali sa testing center? nagpapatake din nman sila ng exam almost 2 years na i think. salamat

  115. Got the hint. Thanks for this very useful info. from the one who have already taken the CS. I’m really curious and this was a relief. God Speed! 🙂

    • The exan wasn’t that hard, I also took the CSE-PPT exam last April and I nailed it. The questions naman were soooo easy, common sense lang.

    • No online Civil Service exam but there is Computer Assisted exam. Testing Center is always in Manila

  120. ..Gud’aftern0on p0h…Ask lng p0h,tga dumaguete p0h ako,kelan p0h ang filing ng examinati0n dito sa aming area…
