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

by

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 🙂

    I’m quite curious what kind of question do they ask about those X

  22. I’ll be taking the exam this October and I’m actually aiming for the top ten. Is it possible or it’s just me being a jerk? anyway, your tips and reviewer really helps that made me think that I might actually make it. So thank you very very much, God bless you always.

  23. I actually take the test and I think the best way to pass the exam is to remember what you learn when you’re still in school and read something, it might help you on vocabulary. It’s too broad to study specific subjects.

  24. Maglalabas po ba kau ng PDF copy nung reviewer niyo or iyopng online na lang po talaga? Sana po may PDF copy na rin para kahit walang internet makapagreview kami. Thanks!

  43. 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.

    • i read your comment, hope i can have it this time I’ll take the exam this October 2014. This is my 3times of trying i just hope this time i could pass it. I’ll pray 🙂

  44. San ka nagfile romeo? Ako kc sa quezon city hall. Sabi ng cs nun available na ng 20 pro nung 2mawag ako wala pa raw.

  53. maraming salamat sa website na ‘to.. buong exam kumakain lang ako ng chocnut at kahit 2am palang gising na ko dahil sa byahe (pasig ako nakatira, sa sta.cruz laguna ako nag-exam), nagising siguro yung utak ko dahil sa tsokolate.. i got 86.90%.. ^_^

  56. Hello to everyone. I am just this curious about on how to claim the certificate of eligibility. Do i have to submit first the required documents to civil service regional office where I’ve filed my registration or should i wait for the CSCRO to announce that COE’s are ready to procure? I am quite bewilder to what I’m gonna do to get that certificate. Thank you! and Godbless!

    • They will sent you Congratulation letter and I think it also says the date when you can claim the certificate.

  58. Rating per competency areas Verbal-74.88 Analytical-80.08 Numerical-87.05 General Info-75.05, with a generating rating of 80.00

  61. Good Day! I think CSC Notice of Rating for professional level passers are now ready for viewing online. Kindly check yours, to know your scores on different competency areas.

    And one thing, to Ms. Fehl.. Do we have to accomplished the Civil Service Form E-6 revised 2005 upon claiming our Certificates of Eligibility? malaking chance ba yun to get into the government kasi parang synopsis siya ng curriculum vitae.. thank you po and godbless!

  64. Tnx po sa lahat ng tips. Nde ko po inaasahan na papasa ako kc sobrang hirap ng exam. High scul grad lang po ako but i was able to make it, professional pa. Tnx po ulit. 🙂

  65. Hi ma’am! I’m planning to take CSE. Could you send me a soft copy of the reviewer? It would be a great help. Thank you! email:

  66. Hi! Thank you for the tips & guidelines, I have passed the CSE-PPT exam this April 2014. Thanks!! Can I ask why I can’t access the rating system?, it says that the examiner’s info was not found in the database, and I’m pretty sure that I took & passed the test since my name was in list. Help pls. thankyou XD

    • You can access the rating system few days from now. Give CSC a break. heheh They need to put the new passers in their system. Relax! You have passed it already! 🙂

  68. Hi! I just wanna say thank you for your tips. I was quite nervous when the results came out last May 19 because I’m a first taker and eerr, there were a lot of math problems, but then my fear turned into happiness when I have passed the exam!!!!!. Thank you Lord! Also thank you again for your generous help. God bless! 😀

      • hi po..may i ask.. kc naguguluhan po ako.. i’ve passed civil service exam professional last april 6 .. but college undergraduate ako.. 3years lang.. may possible jobs bang naghihintay sa akin sa government.. or kelangan ko pa din i-take ung subprof exam? thank you and godbless po.. ur site was quite helpful..

        • 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!

          • Thank you Ms. Fehl for your advice.. I did all thostthoughte techniques posted here.. kaso may isa akong hindi nagawa.. ung pagkain ng choco.. haha.. masyadong strict yung proctors namen.. Anyway, I thought you cannot view your examination rating online kapag nakapasa ka.. kasi sa COE na siya mag-aappear.. Pwede na po pala ngayon? Is this true po?

          • 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!

  69. try and try until you succeed…success is not losing enthusiasm…if at first you don’t succeed try and try again..

    • Don’t lose hope. Maybe the Universe distracted you so much on that day or you need more chocolates 🙂

  72. Good day po. Madam Fehl may PDF copy ka po? Kung meron po pwd po pasend ng copy sa email ko. TIA! Gonna take the exam this coming 2014. Di ako umabot nung April 6th. TIA ulit.

  73. ang hirap ng exam parang gusto qng bawiin ung 500 pesos q ng maagsimula aqng magbasa sa mga test question.

  74. hi, pwede po mkahingi ng reviewer sa civil service. try ko po mag take ng exam this coming october. thank you and God Bless!….

  75. bakit samin bawal kumain even chocolates or candies? depende cguro sa proctor water lang pwede eh during the exams kahit hanky bawal… nwei sana pumasa tayo…

  76. hows the exam po? kung minsan tlg shift happens! kahit na marami ka nang na review, un pang di mo npag aralang mabuti ang lalabas sa exam… lalo sa math, ung reviewer dto na analogy and logic, tpos ung sa meaning/ title that best suits the paragraph lng yata ang lumabas of course sa reviewers FORMAT LANG tlga ng exam and essence… this has been a good blog done by ms. Dungo thanks, iv been following this site for almost 2 mos. but of course u can onli do so much.

  77. mam i just want to thank you for all your efforts making reviewers just for us who took the cs exam. your site helped us a lot lalo na sa mga walang time para magreview 🙂 the exam was not difficult, hindi rin sya madali. nakakalito lang ang mga choices lalo na sa english. not like math including sequence na kung ano nasolve mo andun sa mga choices 🙂 hopefully makapasa before mag graduate sa college para work na agad. wish me luck mam. pray for me, for us 🙂 again, thank you and godbless

    • Tama ka dun.. thank you talaga ng madami sa site na ito at ang light lang ng dating ng pagkuha ng exam, I mean naeencourage ka talaga na pagbutihin. Papasa tayo nyan, tiwala lang kay Lord 🙂

    • Thank you too for the kind words and feedback. I hope you all pass and please give us some testi for my new site 🙂 Cheers! God bless you always 🙂

      • everything that is being post sa 1taker is kasali, except sa clerical and spelling. sa subprof ata yon. may mga ven diagram. which is hindi nasali sa reviewer at nkalimutan ko na din. LOL. may mga logic din, common sense yung iba. like greenhouse:plant:: then ang sagot ko dyan is. incubator:infant kasi ang mga choces. tank:fuel, well:water. sa english, reading comprehenssion nakakalito. ang hahabang ng paragraph pero 1-2 question lang.

  78. Thank you for your wonderful reviewer.. It helps me a lot sa exam kahapon at nagamit ko ang mga nabasa ko sa reviewer mo 🙂 Hope makapasa kami

    • Relax the CSC exam is not so difficult. Use our free online reviewer (mentioned in the article) to prepare and pass it 🙂

      • 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.) 😀

    • Nowadays, anyone can apply to take the CS exam regardless of education attainment. Read the requirements at 1taker.com

  92. hi good day po, ask ko lang.. pwede pa bang magtake ng civil service exam kahit nakapasa na ng LET?

    • If you are a board exam passer, you are already a professional so no need to take Career Service Professional Eligibility

  94. HI! nag exam ako ng PPT Professional nung 2003 and I passed. But then nagtry ako isearch ung eligibility ko online (Online CSE – Paper and Pencil Test (PPT) Result Generation System) but they cannot find my record? appreciate any help. Thanks

    • Maybe the website just display and saved the latest year or so. If you have a Certificate naman, why have a problem? 🙂

  96. Good day mam …ask ko lang po if pede ako magtakw ng cse prof kahit highschool grad lang ako..?

    Hoping for your reply..tnx

        • We already released the free online reviewer last Friday. Check it out 🙂 I put the link in the article above

          • thanks mam, i hope i could pass this exam 🙂 wish me luck, may the odds be ever in our favor. goodluck to everyone. mam how about the numerical reasoning? 😀 may reviewer din po ba. 😀

          • You’re welcome 🙂 I’m still finishing the remaining subjects. I will post them once done. I’m trying my best to share easy tips and discuss the concepts as easy as possible 🙂 CS Exam is easy however the choices are confusing 😀

  98. hi mam i need your help can i get a copy for some review magexam ako ds coming april 2014 wala ako mabili reviewer sa national… Thank you. God bless you

    • don’t waste your time on a reviewer. just have some chocolates and you’re good to go 😉

  103. 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

  104. Please pray for me, I/m taking the CSC exam this coming april 6, but unfortunately I am an employee of a private company, so I don’t have enough time to review for the exam, Hope that I can make it to pass the CSC exam. hehe.. GOOD LUCK for those who are planning to take the exam. God Bless and Bless God. Thank you for those who pray for me.. 😀

    • mmm me too.. i hope i can do also,,,i am working too,, a little time to scan and read my books ,,i pray and hope i can pass it too…GOD BLEES

  105. hello po im from cebu,may lend the copy of ur revewer mam..coz i wanna take also the same exam..i was inspired by you also ..hope it will grant .it will really help for us like dreamer..and so your achiever..thanks ahead…

  106. 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.

  160. Hi Ask ko lang po sana Ahmm,.. what if po hindi hindi nakapasa sa last OctoberPwede po ba mag take ulit sa next

  162. Hi, can I borrow your reviewer, I planned to take the exam this coming april 6, 2014 and I didn’t find that book in bookstore… just in case if it still available, can I?

  164. Hi. I passed the october 2013 exam. Gusto ko lng po malaman kung kelan makukuha ung certificate of eligibility from the civil service office here in my province. Thanks in advance 🙂

    • For passer who filed in NCR Banawe for Oct 2013 exam, I called their office this morning COE-Prof (Ratings) is now available. But they warned for long queue because it is still peak day of releasing, certificate is just recently available.

  166. Taga pasig po ko. Saan po pwede magpasa ng requirements para sa CSE? Anong lugar po or any link ng mga lugar na pwede ko pagpasahan. Salamat!

  168. natatakot naman ako parang mahirap ata yung math. seriously, hindi talaga ako magaling sa math, simple math lang bopols pa ko, like algebra… mahirap ba yung math? pwede bang mag-calculator?

    • Use of calculator is prohibited. Pero basically stock knowledge lang naman. Passed the cse ppt professional last oct2013. Not working in the government though. Goodluck to you guys!

  169. 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.

    Stealth

    • Word problem(math) and English (Reading comprehension and vocabulary) sobrang important..maganda talaga tandaan ang past lessons para di masyadong mahihirapan . God bless everyone.

  170. does anyone know when will be the new sched for 2014 civil service exams? gsto ko na kc magapply kaso gulo nung instructions.. di ako makapagpareserve sa OCARS.

  171. If may erasure ka sa isang item, would it affect the whole items that you answered on the answer sheet? or only the item that you’ve made an erasure? @@ Im so worried. kakatake ko lg kasi ng exam. pls answer po.

    • 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

  173. HI there. I plan to take the exam this April (yata) and imma graduating student. i currently am a trainee in BIR RR4 In Capitol Pampanga and i got chance na ma-absorb(hopefully) Sana makapasa ako. and those tips are really helpful. i got my reviewer book na so application nalang talaga.. hehehe. Have a nice day!=)

  174. Salamat sa tips at naipasa ko ang cs prof exam nitong october.ask ko lang sana if nakapasa ako sa CS prof e hindi ko na ba kailangang mag take ng exam sa napolcom?gusto ko sana mag apply bilang police e.salamat po

  183. Hi, ms. Fehl, pwede ba magclaim sa field office ng cert. of eligibilty or talagang sa regional office lang. Thanks.

  184. gud pm! ask ko lang po kung dapat ba makuha mo 80% per subjects ba kailangan para maka pasa ka or 80% in all subjects po ba?pls reply..

    • Sa wakas I passed for the 2nd take..Thanks sa mga tips dito. Thank you God and my mom in heaven for guidance…

      Buy na lang po ng CSC reviewer sa National Bookstore important Math and English i-review. Don’t give-up!

    • i think 80% in all subject (not per subject). If taga Amparo North Caloocan or near SM Fairview baka mabigyan ko kayo ng photocopy ng CSC reviewer ko kasi promise ko yun pag nakapasa i-pasa ko na sa ibang talagang gagamit..

        • Sir Jonathan (taga-malaria), naku naibigay ko na noong December 2013 sa dalawang k : kapitbahay (original copy) at kakilala (photocopy)..dapat pala nilagyan ko ng deadline dito (lol).. Kailan mo pala balak magtake? in-case mareproduce pero ikaw na ung last mabibigyan ng copy… pero baka rich ka naman baka buy ka na lang……..please give me your email add. para update kita in-case..Peace!

  186. I just have to say, I read this blog a week before I took the CSC Exam Pro, and guess what? I passed! Your tips do work! God speed!

  189. gd pm,may pdf file po ba kau ng csc reviewer by Marina T. San Jose-Pangan & Mamerto Duque-Novales?pwd po ask aq ng copy,slamat po. .

    • Since there are 10,800 seconds in 3 hours, it would take 72 seconds per question to complete the 150 in 3 hours.

  194. a happy and blessed sunday to you madam,ask ko lng po sna kung pwede ako mag take ng professional exam instead of sub-professional exam..coz i am only a high school graduate,if i can take it in one shot only,(fighting spirit lng po.. :))hopefully at least d po syang ang effort jst in case n makapasa po,i am an appointed employee already now and been working for two years at a city government…i already have my reviewer book that i bought at national bookstore,its color yellow,been planning to take the exam next year po..thank you very much madam,& god bless po sa ating lahat…

        Thanks maam..
        waiting for your reply

    • 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 🙂

      • Hello po. Curious lang po if totoong kapag RN kna and ngtake ka ng CSE ..mannullify po ung paggng rn mo? Thanks po

  202. hello po, gud day! thank you po s lhat ng ngbigay ng tips at advise nla to take civil service exam nung oct.13 most especially po kay Mam Fehl.. Thank you po tlaga khit di ko p alam yung results ng exams e npakalaking tulong po ng gnawa nyo..I hope makapasa me…:) thanks and Godbless po..:)

    • You are all very welcome here 🙂 CSC matters or other matters. You can leave your concern to all my pages 🙂 Mwaaaaah! Cheers! Makakapasa ka 🙂

    • I remember someone who shaded all the remaining numbers thinking there were 200. She ended up failing the exam. Congrats in advance Viv 🙂

  204. hi..just wanna share that mas madali yun exam ngayon compare last year..hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa mas relax lang ako ngayon kesa last year..haha.. sana makapasa na !! I’ve already passed the SubProf in one take and now im trying to pass Professsional..Pang 2nd take ko na now..sana makapasa..after 45 days daw malalaman result..

    • I pray you passed it 🙂 You were relaxed and happy so I think you passed it. 🙂 Some regions were rescheduled on Nov. 10 due to unsatble weather condition so maybe that’s why the result would be after 45 days.

    • 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.

  220. Hi. Pwede po ba magtake ng Professional Exam kahit hindi ka pa nka-graduate ng college? I am 3rd year college student now and i am planning to take Civil Service Examination next year.

  222. I saw other post with other books that they are referring.. Can I ask if which is more recommendable? Pretty please? The exam is this upcoming sunday. I haven’t review anything yet. hehe I’m such a lazy cat.

  224. Hello poh, thanks for the nice tips you gave. And please help us to PRAY because i’m the one who will take the civil service examination this coming October 13, 2013. Thank you very much. Tata po ito from Mati City.

  226. hi maam.i jusy wanna to ask something.i took up 3years course which is associate.it is possible for me to take prof exam or not?.tanx maam.

  228. 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.

  229. HI GOOD DAY…. I TOOK THE CS EXAM MANY TIMES….. I HOPE I CAN PASS THIS TIME… PLEASE PRAY FOR MY SUCCESS….

  231. Hi! I passed last april’s SUB PROF. exam… tip lang… don’t depend on LUCK alone, it is important to review your basic math and english then most of all, PRAYERS ang mahalaga.. dadating at dadating yung moment na HUHULA ka ng item na di mo masagutan JUST pray na sana tumama yung huhulaan mong ishade. Praktikal lang. 🙂 GOOD LUCK!

  232. Good Evening, i have a reviewer here but it’s for LET(Licensure Exam for Teachers) 2006 Edition and the authors are same with the reviewer that you have(Marina T. San Jose- Pangan& Mamerto Duque-Novales). Do you think it will help too?

  235. 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.

    -civil service eligible/engineer.

  236. 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!

    • 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!

  238. 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 🙂

      • 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.

  240. 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! 🙂

    • Naka relate ako sayo.ganyan dn gnawa ko non.last 15 mins na lang.170 items yun na exam.shade na lang ng shade bahala na.hehe.

  241. Mahirap ba ung math questions?..or basic computation lang ang need?
    Iv’e seen that book here in SM Consolacion, i will buy it tomorrow, sakto pay day.
    Pls. pray for us na maka pasa., This gonna be my first take.

    and lasty..can you still remember the questions that were asked?.. :3

    • 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.

  243. ma’am pwedi po hiramin yung book na ginamit nyo? pampanga area lang po ako. thanks! eto po number ko para matext nyo po ako. salamat po in advance! 09066108667.

    • Unfortunately, someone has already borrowed it. I can lend it again after the borrower from Pampanga was finished using it. Perhaps after the CSC ecam

  244. ako din mag tatake ng exam sa darating na october hopefully makapasa na sa ikalawang pagkakataon anyway thanks fehl for your tips makakatulong yan para sa akin…… yan din ang ginagamit kong reviewer now ung orange and the MSA…

  248. hi po! ilang oras po ba ang exam at ilang items po? may specific time ba for each category para sagutan ang mga tanong tpos iba na naman?

    • Yeah there’s time allotted for every category. The assigned facilitator always tell the time before providing the test questionnaire. I remember it was like an hour or less every subject.

  249. your tips inspire me to continue reviewing kahit nag stuck up na hirap ako na throw back ang lessons ko dati..nakabili ako ng reviewer at ang author is arellano busto…ok lng ba yun?sub pro lng ang take ko na exam kasi one sem nalang graduate na sana ako.if ma pasa ko ang sub pro malkakapagtake ba ako nang professional cse?

    • wow that is so quick but not impossible if you believe in ‘love at first sight’ or the song “I knew I love you before I met you” LOL

      It takes a very long time to get to know someone. 30 secs is not enough. It’s so possible though to lose a girl in 30 seconds LOL

  256. Nahuli aq s pagpasa ng req pra s.oct exam, kylan pu kya ulit ang next filling ng exam, and.sana makapasa din aq like you,

    • Hi! The next exam is on April 6, 2014 and the filing for application has already started,just letting you know…

      Im going to apply for it too….

  257. ano po pinagkaiba ng subprof sa prof sa exam?? ok lng ba khit sub ang kunin pag nkapasa pde pa rn makapsok sa mga government i mean mkapagwork sa gov.?? reply ASAP 😀

    • 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

  258. thanks for the tips.. cadbury is an expensive chocolate, can i eat different kinds of choco? just kidding. 🙂 anyway, i’ll take my 1st CSC exam this october 🙂 i hope i;ll pass.. cheer me up 🙂

    • Hehe yes you can always eat candies or any sweets. It’s good for the brain. Just a tip lang naman. 🙂 Good luck! you can do it 🙂

      • thank you ma’am..challenge po ako this time because me and my dad will take the CSC exam this october and i’ll prove to my dad, i can do it 🙂 thanks again for the tip.. (minsan lang tumaba pero worth it sana) hehe. 🙂

  259. less than 60% ratings ko last time 2008..gusto ko lang chance o luck hindi pala, hardwork pala needed…kaya re- take ako ulit this oct 13, 2013 sana makapasa na ako, kahit pasang-awa na lang hope cooperate ang mga good forces sa akin…kailangan kong ma-inlove sa English and Mathematics.

    kulay orange sa National Bookstore Civil Service Examination reviewer by Pangan and Novales.

    Good luck and God bless sa ating lahat!

    • You can do it. Just take it easy and don’t stress yourself. Like I said, it’s just like taking a college entrance exam 🙂 Cheers!

    • 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.

      • 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.

  261. Hi! 🙂 baka naman po pwede humingi kopya ng reviewer nyo. Please. First time ko po mag take ng CSC sub-pro po. Please. Eto po email add ko. fzusie@yahoo.com thank you so much po! 🙂 god bless…

  263. mam Fehl ung pangalan ba ng book na binili mo sa bookstore ay MSA civil service reviewer(the new millennium edition) by merle s. alferez .?? color orange?,kc nakita ko po dito sa internet ung cover ng book..pakicheck po ng sayo kung ok lang salamat… and kung meron po dyan sa national bookstore sainyo pwede po pa magpabili sayo?,

    • 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.

  265. hi ! ds wud be my 1st tym to take civil service exam for sub-prof ds coming october …
    im so nervous as early as now. .. thanks for the tips .that wud reli b a great help for me and to ol hu will take the exam.
    i know i can do ds ..
    we will just pray and have faith in god..

  266. Hi! i’m just a high school graduate and i want to take the prof. CSC exam., infact, i’ve submitted my papers to CSC near us, could it be possible for me to pass? can you give some super effective tips just for an examinee has a lowest educational attainment like me? Thank you! Admin.. Basilan area.. 😉

  267. Hello where specifically can i submit d application form? Im wondering if i can submit it in quezon city hall? I honestly dont know what specific office i should submit my application form

    • I have given the tips above which I used from my experience. 🙂 Another technique is, take it easy and don’t sweat (panic). It is kinda tiresome so you really need to have enough energy and power. Don’t go without eating your breakfast, nakakagutom kc

  269. alam ko from the start na papasa ako. Pero, bakit ganun? I didn’t. I took up the CS exam last april and it wasnt that difficult.. Im plannhng to get my revenge this october. Hopefully pumasa ako… Region 3 ako nag exam.. May quota ba ito?

  270. 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.

    • 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.

      • 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” ^_^

      • I guess I haven’t received any e-mail from Civil Service that said that I passed last year.
        I saw my name online though.

  271. 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?

    • 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!

      • madam, nais ko sana umingi ng tulong nyo n bigyan nyo ako ng reviewer book para nman pumasa ako s civil service examination. salamat po at hintain ko po ag inyong reply.

  272. how many times na rin me nag exam, till now di prin me nka pasa what should i do?nag review nman me pro self review lng nman…

  273. Ang buong akala ko before i take up the CSC Prof exam, way back Oct.16,2011, monthsary namin ng wife ko at sa susunod na buwan, Anniversary na namin, na mahirap yung exam. try nyo to…

    DAPAT INSPIRED KA BEFORE KA MAG EXAM… Pag wala ka sa mood at hindi ka inspired, wag mo ng ituloy ang mag exam.

    goodluck examinees.

  276. Where can I file my application? Manila area po ako. then dalawa yung address na nasa website nila. One is in kaliraya st. and the other one is in batasang pambansa, saan po ba dun??

    • It’s called Professional Civil Service Exam Reviewer. I tried to look at the latest version in National Bookstore but I couldn’t find it. The bookstore in SM near us is under reorganizing stuff

  279. sa blog ko may prayer before exams, baka gusto niyo.. just visit my blog.. hehe,

    Thanks nga pala admin sa tips mo., pde palang kumain while taking the exam? ngayon ko lang nalaman.. hehe, makadala nga ng pandisal at kape.. lol, God bless sa lahat ng kukuha ng exam, pray the chaplet of mercy, available din ang copy sa blog ko. hehe, pray pray pray..

    • It depends ano kinakain mo. You’re allowed to eat candies or chocolates provided it’s not gonna disturb everyone LOL I didn’t mean a meal or pandesal or kape.

        • as far as i know kpag pasado sa PRC yung parang sa teacher, doctor, nurse, etc. ung board, bar exam no need to take csc exam kc katumbas na cia nito..pwede mo na yung gamitin eligibility sa pag-aapply sa government agencies..pero if you still wanted to take the csc exam pwede pa rin naman, dagdag credentials na din.

  280. common sense lang ang kailangan..:) believe me, mas mahirap pa ang mga questions sa pag review kaysa actual na exam..;)

  281. Difficult ba talaga ang civil service or its just a mindset sa tao… heheheh
    Ill take the exam this coming october. May alam po ba kayo na competent review center…
    Salamat po sa tips… God bless!!!

  282. hi. same pala tayo ng story dito.. hindi ako nakapag review ng bonggang bongga before nag take ng civil service, kasi yun nga, nag wo-work na ako as government employee.. masyado na akong stress sa work para mag enroll pa sa mga review center. yung ginawa ko, instead na mag facebook, nag review nalang ako via online, and gladly kahit sa konting panahon na iyon, malaki ang naitulong nun sa akin para akoy makapasa.. review lang talaga plus samahan syempre ng prayers.. 🙂

  284. can i know when is the starting date of the profe level registration and what is the title of the orange bok at the national bookstore?? thanks alot

        • Hi po c Dexter po ito. Pwd din po bang humingi po ng reviwer din… pls send it to gmail account

          MarAMING SALAMAT. God bless.

          congrats din o pala.

      • hai ma’am can i have your latest reviewer this coming examination OCTOBER 26, 2014 because i want to pass the CSC exam. Thank you !

        • hi mam fely, ako rin po ask ng copy sa reviewer nyo for Prof CSC Exam kc this october 26, 2014 exam ko. please out of stock yung sa national kc. I failed last april 6 exam and I am hoping to pass this october 2014, I believe your tips and your reviewer would be a big help for me… please be my guardian angel mam… pls.

  287. Hello! is it true that the passing is 80%? I take the prof exam way back 1980’s and I got 75% only. Do I have to take another exam?

    thanks!

    • Yes the passing rate for the Civil Service Exam is 80%. don’t worry, it’s not that hard though 🙂 Consider my tips 🙂

      • thanks for your tips..i’m going take the CSE too this coming october..can i ask you something?what type of exam is the CS is? it is a kind of multiple choice only? and how many minutes does it takes in every category?
        tnx po.!

        • 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 🙂

          • tnx..i’m really willing to take the examination but i feels so nervous as the examination is approaching..ehehehe because i don’t know if i can pass or not..i don’t have any reviewer books..

          • Hi Po,

            I find this site very interesting as it gives a lot of information and ideas on how to conquer the prof civil service examination. Would you be kind to send the reviewer to my email? I would really appreciate if you can do so…Thanks and More Power. Godbless

          • really?? when you took the exam it took a half day?? you mean 12 hours?

      • maam do u have a pdf? or soft copy?coz i cant find it in natinal bookstore..tnx..thank u for giving us tips on how to pass this csc..
