This Hub Contains Effective Tips and Pointers to Pass the Civil Service Examination (CSE) Prof and Subprof Levels
The Civil Service Examination that is given in the Philippines is indeed a tough nut to crack; the passing rate over the years had dipped drastically, no thanks to the high 80% mark, one should hurdle. The average passing rate is somewhere from 8% to 30%, and this makes the test formidable and prestigious. Why not? Passing the examination will give a potential government employee or current employee that hasn’t pass the examination yet the rights to get a permanent job in the government, and gain access to promising privileges like promotions and salary increases.
This acid test proves to be very difficult for most since it can be likened to an IQ test where accumulated knowledge from the field of Mathematics to the English Language may play a vital role in passing.
Being an English speaking country, the English language is given great importance in the test. Reading Comprehension, sentence structure, and vocabulary forms a good portion of the examination.
One of the greatest obstacles in passing the examination is the Mathematics part of the examination, since this offers a lot of solving employing various techniques in solving progressions, linear equations, ratio and proportions and many more.
Here are some important and practical ways, tips and pointers to maximize your chances of passing and overcoming the CSC exam.
Gather as many review materials as you can, the most current the better. Look for review materials that are teeming with typical test questions that are similar to the actual examination.
Review, review and review. Your future is at stake here, and it is wise to use your time very well. Review without let up as much as possible. Moreover, the exam calls for storing knowledge, constant reading and math problems solving. This is a marathon game and only the well-prepared ones are bound to pass. Superior IQ will not guarantee you a passing score.
Don’t rely on prayers and luck. God only helps those who help themselves. Be realistic, you are up against a real examination and faith without hard work is useless. Additionally, passing the exam with pure guesswork is a disaster. You already flunked the exam even with out lifting your pencil if you take the examination without preparations.
There is no way you can pass the examination without hurdling Mathematics first. It is true that this subject is difficult and there is no doubt about that. But there is always a way to tame this subject and that is with patience and practice. Solve as many problems as possibly you can. Math has something to do with getting experience and maturity, the more you solve problems the better you can be. Don’t memorize solutions but be familiar with the principles and concepts. The only thing that is memorized in mathematics are the formulas. Be spontaneous with your solutions; make sure that your answers emanates from your mind. Many hate this subject very much, but if you are good on this, your chance of passing is already bolstered.
If you can afford to shell out some fee to get the help of an expert tutor, go ahead. This move will give you an outright edge since you will get good answers about some of your questions with your reviews.
Ask previous test takers about what are being asked in the recent examination they took. This gives you the trend and possibly the style of the test givers.
While you reviews make sure you are eating well and getting ample rest and sleep.If you are healthy you are capable of storing more knowledge that are vital in passing the test.
Before the examination, be sure you know your room assignment. Avoid being late since the examination contains many questions. Missing some time because of tardiness, might prevent you from not answering some of the questions or prevent you from from giving the best answers.
During the examination make sure you are calm. Avoid being nervous and intense, it is understandable to be pressured but this will not serve you well as time goes by. Hold your nerves will yah, and answer every question to the best of your abilities. To be efficient with your time, answer the easy ones first, you can afford to leave some questions unanswered, but be sure you’ll set at least 15 minutes before the time limit to answer all of the questions that are being asked.

I took my CS Exam last 2003 and board exam for teachers the following year. Thanks God, I passed both. The saddest part was, since 2003 pa ako nag a apply sa government but still couldn't had a chance to have one. Wala kasi akong backer. Grabe. How frustrating our government is. Para akong tae, pinagpapasa pasahan lang nila, ang daming employee sa government, wala namn CS but still, andun cla, may mga backer kasi.. tsk.. Anong petsa na, 2012 na.. cguro si Pres Ninoy ang kukunin kong backer para ma in na tlga..
sir ask q lang po 3x na aq nagtake ng exam successive sa isang taon pwd ba aq ul8 mag exam wla bang limitasyon.
pray and ask for guidance before the exam. believe in yourself. you have to believe that you can pass the exam. start answering the part that you find easy.this will help in warming you up for the more difficult parts. avoid taking too much time answering one question. leave those questions that you don't know the answers and try answering it instead after you have finished and you still have a spare time. guess if you really have no idea of the answer. if time is about to expire and you still have many questions unanswered, just guess, but i would suggest that you pick only one letter as an answer to all the remaining questions.hehe. make sure to thank God for the experience.
@name: pwede rin prof ang kukunin ni jessie. Kasi undergrad ako pero kinuha ko ang prof category and I still passed the exam.
Hi, dabawenyo. Hindi mo na kailangan mag take pa ng civil service exam kasi RN ka na at covered ka na ng RA 1080. Try to read the article. Hope it helps. :)
I passed both the CS Sub-Prof and CS Prof this year. My tip: READ NEWSPAPERS EVERYDAY, and when I say newspapers I mean broadsheets. Reading newspapers will not only keep you updated and in touch with reality (as opposed to reading tabloids--doing so will send your brain floating somewhere), it will also give you a chance to encounter new words... even new uses for old words! As for the math, just practice on algebra and review the formulas you had in your Economics class.
Good day! =)

@jessie: you can take the civil service exam if you are 18 years old and above,also a Filipino citizen. Anyone can take, NO education attainment required.
I passed the October 2011 exam at hindi ko talaga iniexpect yun.. ang hirap nung math at hindi ko sure yung mga sagot ko sa english.. I think sa constitution ako nakabawi (polsci grad)..
It's my second time na pala at hindi na talaga ako nagexpect na papasa dahil nadala na ako nung unang exam na i expected to pass pero epic yung nakuha kong grade.. Lesson learned: wag masyado magexpect ng di gaanong masaktan.. hehe
Thank you Lord! Sobra..
to know the result

pwede po ba magtake ng civil service exam kahit RN na?
ask lang po kng kylan exam ng civil service 2012? saan po gaganapin n lugar? tnx God Bless:)
Good day sir. I just had a chance to post in your hub again :) Anyway, as I said maybe a year ago that I'm an ECE undergrad, but passed the prof exam, what would be the appropriate government agency or department for me? Currently, I am working in a private BPO company but I feel like I need a new working environment where I can advance and develop in my skills. I'm just afraid to venture into another company considering the fact that I'm an undergrad and most companies are looking for grads. I'm afraid that if I leave my present company, I will have difficulties in finding a new job. Besides, I'm a regular employee already. Can you please give me an advice or thoughts regarding my concern? Thank you sir.
sabi ng proctor namin during exam,, " kung gugustohin namin kayong pumasa, makakapasa kayo" what do you think of that?
hello kelan ba start ng civil service examination at san banda ang location sa lingayen at San fernando launion tnx......

.hi i'll take a CIVIL SERVICE Sub Prof this coming OCTOBER 16,2011,WHAT I'm going to do because this is my first time..pls help me thanks
thanks and more power....
This post is great! My mom told me to take the Civil Service Exam if I would like to get into government. I hope to pass the exam. I'm not sure when to take it though.
Thank you for this! :)
sir which constitution will i review 1987 or 89?tnx
it's really frustrating.. i was an undergrad when i took and passed the cs prof exam.. from then to now, i already have a b.s degree, i still can't get a job in the gov't.. and add to the frustration i was told that my passing is void because i was undergrad when i passed.
HI,, bloger can you give us some hints or the posible quetions?
I have only civil service eligibility category 1 which i passed in Tesda (Data Encoder) unfortunately there's a vacant position sana leading sa offices ko kaso hnd pa ako Professional Civil Service Eligible kaya kailangan ko makapasa dito para makapag ranking .Hope u can give me advice what to do need ko talaga eh, sayang position tagal ko na wait na maka regular yan lang kulang ko kc meron na akong master degree... salamat poh
I don't think it's such a big deal. Got a total of 90% for the Prof level without even reviewing. It's the Current Events part that did me in (only got 78% on that part. lol)
i also filed the csc exam last sept 1. hoping to achieve it..
i already passed the cse this may2011. It was another achievement w/c i wud say, God really do miracles. I only have a question for all of you,why do you want to take up/took up cse? I was asked this question and wondering what would be the best answer since i am not applying for a government position,rather to a private company.
Great article brother. I'm planning to take the CSE. I'm not that good in English but I'm confident. Mathematics is an headache, but let's face it. It's part of the game. I keep on reading anything. Th best key to pass is to REVIEW REVIEW and REVIEW. Thanks brother you motivated me....
It was my 3rd time taking the CSE exam last oct. 2010 but still i cant pass...what would i do to pass it...i really need eligibility...i want to be permanent in my work...i am now almost 3 years Job Order in the government.
May i ask? on which area shall i give emphasis? English, Math and Analytical thinking or the Philippine constitution?
thank you so much!
thanks for the tips .. :)

thanks for the idea and tips may God help us to pass the exam this coming Oct 16.lets help ourselves first for GOD guiding us to answers the question which is so difficult..
IM SO DULL IN MATH...IM TRYING TO COPE WITH THAT..
i don't think there is a perfect formula in passing the cs exam, but not reviewing will definitely give you a failing mark. don't rely too much on stock knowledge. chances are it's already rusty or outdated. do not just review just for the sake of reviewing. map your strategy. assess your strengths and weaknesses. focus on your weak points. learn a lot of testing tactics and techniques. Memorize important rules, formulas and concepts. Solve as many problems as you can until you get the hang of it. english is not as easy as i thought. analogy questions are a little bit tricky. beware of eye-catchers. pay close attention to common grammar and usage errors. most common errors are errors in subject-verb agreement, pronoun-antecedent agreement, tense or form of verb, case of a noun or pronoun. Common types of paragraph organizations are chronological order, cause-effect and statement-support. Watch out for key signal words. Given the limited amount of time in the exam, learn to practice the art of skimming and scanning. look for shortcuts. be time conscious. Come to exam well-prepared! Above all pray to GOD!I agree with the author completely-God only helps those who help themselves. good luck guys!
...tnx to this hub page.,wish me luck for my exam this coming month of October 2011.,

Hi! just wanna ask, mas-matataas po ba usually ung mga ratings na nakukuha pag CAT and kinuhang exam over the Paper and pencil test?
Kasi ung recent na topnotchers sa PPT sa region namin ay nasa 84.00% rating. while may kilala akong naka- 90.75 % sa CAT exam nung August 2010. I myself took the same Aug 2010 CAT exam and got 90.15%.
IM BACK TO EXAM LORD SANA IBIGAY MO NA SAKIN ITO.
though im not prepared i still have to take the exams...bahala na si batman
sir/maam tatanong ko lng po .. pag bumagsak ng civil service how many months do i have to w8 for me to take the exam again..
jed's blog helped me too especially in math.. and also I used the MSA reviewer with detailed explanations at the back. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE is the key. :-)
It was my 2nd time taking csc exam last may 22, 2011 but sad to say I failed...:(
Plan q po mgtake s oct ng prof csc. .Ask q lng ilang items po b ung exam..at ilang mins po para sagutan un.
Great tips, very helpful. :) Thanks a lot.
as far as I am concerned, mas mahirap pa yung mga review materials kaysa sa test itself. But it will help a lot lalo na kung prapraktisin mo ang self regulated time pressure. sa mga ni-review ko walang lumabas maski isa "as is" pero kung hawig marami. by the way, i passed the may 22 exam. Look for Jed Tedor's blogsite at yun mga reviewers nya ang ginamit ko. Thanks Jed!
Sir, i am a government employee for 8 years now and i need to be promoted, but i need to take and pass the civil service exam prof. for my promotion. Sir, please help me...do you have any recommendation about review center or review materials to refer? thanks a lot, i'm waiting for your reply. my exam sched. will be this coming oct. 16, 2011.
thanks for sharing your ideas and advice,hope na makapasa ako this october, thanks for encouraging word and give inspiration to those who want to take civil service.God bless us all.
took the may 22, 2011 exam first time and passed it.
TIPS:
be there early - around 7:00 am, may 3 documents na fifill-up-an, 2 seating and 1 attendance. this help para una ka mag-fill-up at may time na mag-relax.
take a pee before examination - helps you relax more.
take a bottle of water and chew a gum - mahirap ang mag-exam kung tuyo ang lalamunan at gutom, at least yung laway mo magpapabusog sa iyo.
know the time - you can always ask your proctor how much time is left kung walang clock yung kwarto, this will not annoy them. I did this.
take your time - kung may mauna mang magpasa, wag mag-panic, ako nasa 110 pa lang may nagpasa na and there is only 40 minutes left, 60 items left. pero natapos ko lahat with 3 minutes left to review the answers. Kasi nauuna yung mahihirap, the last 20 items masasagot mo on an average of 20 seconds bawat isa (wag mong hulaan kasi practical ang mga sagot).
Erase corrected bubbles completely - kung nag-iba kayo ng sagot tiyaking walang matitirang lead residue from pencil.
Sa test proper:
Allow only up to 2 minutes sa math problems - if it take too long leave it but be sure na meron kang intellectual guess kung hindi mo na sya mabalikan.
make visual aids - i-drawing mo sa scratch yung problem sa math para makatulong i.e. seating arrangement problem, first car to finish the line, what step you are on a ladder, first name-last name. Kasi ang given nakakalito.
sa english - tignan mo sa given kung ano ang naiiba at malamang sa alamang yun ang sagot.
sa sentence chronology - tignan mo kung anong answer ang may pareho ng simula ex. 1. ABCD 2. ACBD 3. BACD 4. CDAB 5. DACB. Siguradong 1 or 2 ang correct.
make sure na mas marami kang sinagot ng tama kaysa hula.
O ayan! papasa ka na nyan...
i was taken my first exam last april, 2010.. but sad to say i didnt pass it.. and now i am planning to take the exam this coming october...but i dont know how to start my self reviewing..cause my time is very busy..im working in gorvernment as job order..or maybe i cant handling my time well..can u advice me what will i do for preparation for the exam?????
grabe ang exam talaga yatang pinahirap exam para dami bumagsak.. pinag kakakitaan na talaga. ginawa pang 5hundred pesos..maawa naman kayo
bumili ako ang reviewer sa national bookstore, at nagreview ako bago sumapit ang exam noong may 22 at sobrang saya ko kc nakapasa ako (professional), pede ba talagang mag apply sa government ng walang backer.
i take it 5 times aldready still failed so sad
I bought a reviewer from National book store, it helped me a lot even if its not the same as the actual questions on the exam. You will know and have background on what types of questions will appear on the exam. You should think and answer as quickly as possible because you will be under time pressure for sure. :)
Thank God i passed the professional level exam last May. Sana makapasok sa gusto kong pasukan kahit walang backer! Hmmm ^^
sa lahat po ng magtatake ng exam i want to share my experience nung nagtake me ng exam last may 22, 2011 and by GOD's guidance i pass the prof exam...my only tip is enjoy the exam..ung tamang nag-eenjoy ka lng tamang exam for fun...why...??becoz it will relax ur mind and mas makakapag isip kau ng maayus compare sa mga pressured mag-exam...i myt as well suggest to watch the movie 3 idiots...makakakuha kau idea kung how you face exams and problems...most of all prayer and review...download some reviewer online it really help
Hi to all passers and who had an experience in taking the CSC EXAM... BIgay nmn kayo ng tape plan q kasing magtake ngaong taon...

Latest po ba yong nasa National Bookstore na Reviewer? Thanks.
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG...Did you all noticed that the word CIVIL SERVICE comes from the word CIVIL SERVICE?... It was not intended to BOOST your CAREER. It was intended to GIVE AWAY you CAREER for a REASON that is FREE FOR A CIVIL SERVICE!...One Word.."DIVERSION"...:D
thanks for this site...i was being encouraged to take again the CSE..
I took the exam last May 22.. wala siya masyado current events, marami dun sa last part is about sa constitution.. i'm a polsci graduate so medyo advantage sakin yun... nahirapan lang ako sa analogy part kasi time consuming talaga kaya advice ko is unahin niyo muna yung madaling sagutan para sa inyo.... Ayun.. Godbless! :)
i;miwill be taking the october 2011 CSE ProfessionaL exam..
can you give me tips and what to reviewto pass the exam??
pls !!!
Very useful hub! I learned that Filipinos who graduated with honors (Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude and Summa Cum Laude) from universities and colleges can apply for government positions without taking the civil service exams.
Hi, im planning to take the CSE this october. It's my first time actually.. but.. di pa pala ako nagpass ng requirements^^,) anyways, thanks po for this.. you're a great blessing to others.. you're such a generous man ^^,) God Bless po.. this will help me.
True! Of course, If you devote yourself to God, you also have to do something, like reviewing to make these prayers come true. The answer won't just come instantly, it's you, who are the one could find to have it. He will just help and guide you to find it. Say God Bless rather than Good Luck! :)
hi sir Im just excited to take civil service exam... hehe im taking up commerce major in management... nice hub.. i want to be advance.. because i think it is an avantage..
as much as possible magreview ka ng general information katulad ng galing sa consti at yung sa public employees conduct kasi dun sure ka na lalabas talaga sa questions ng civil service exam yung rereviewin mo. ilang points din yun. saka yung mga recent events. as much as possible, aralin mo yung mga at least 1month before ng exam mo na events sa pilipinas.
i took CSE 2 times and now im planning to take an exam for the 3rd time. sa math lang ako mejo nahirapan and also dun sa paragraph arrangement hindi ko din kasi mgets un..Ano poba mas madaling ireview..?thank you

took the exam for the first time last 2009 and nailed it with an average of 88%. my advise: answer strategically (answer first the no brainer or short questions, then those that will take time to answer particularly essays and math), dont buy those reviewers in the bookstore (the questions in those wont appear in the exam itself, they are just guidance for the exam format), wear something that is relaxing (dont overdress), have an ample amount of sleep (i didnt had), study d phil constitution and the r.a. (which i forgot) for the proper conduct of government employees, be confident & trust urself, and ofcourse trust god! =) goodluck exam takers!
gusto ko pongng mag review kaso conflict sa work ko. pwde po bang makahingi kahit konti lang na reviewer. paki send lang po sa email ko gingskie18@yahoo.com. maraming salamat po in advance
i forgot to say that i already read the cse tips...but aside of your tips of reviewing..is there another way to pass the exam???

I am writing a blog about the Philippine Civil Service Examination. I find this hub very interesting and helpful for future takers, so, I linked it in my blog. I have also posted some tips and some review materials. I hope it helps. My site is "philcivilserviceexam .blogspot .com" (just remove the space inside the quotation.)
I passed the CSC Prof CAT yesterday 3/24/11... I got exactly 80%.. I studied for almost 2 weeks and focused on word problems using linear equations, ratio and proportion, rate time distance, and number series as well... RA 6713 and 1987 P.Constitution. All in all I think English is the hardest and really tricky.
kakasubmit ko lang ng application for CSE kanina and that i will take the exam this may 22.. Im a first time taker at wala akong idea about the exam and im only 19.. thank you sir sa advice... sana pumasa... :)

I took the CSC professional exam ages ago in 1992. I don't know if the exam has changed drastically since then but the actual exam wasn't as daunting as it seemed to be. With good preparation, prayers and self-confidence, it shouldn't be too difficult to pass. As in anything, enjoy the experience!
good day, i just want to know when will be the schedule of civil service examination for march 2011 thanks.
hi! i need to know the schedule of civil service exam this coming march 2011 so that i can file my application ahead of time.

Please post the date of civil service exam for 2011. You should post also all necessary requirement and qualification to take that exam.
Thank You
@nadine - from where are you may be I can help you, you can send an email to me... You can purchase reviewers at he nearest bookstore or department store... this will certainly help. Seeking the help of people that are good in math will also help. Keep reviewing.
i'm a gov't employee for 10 years now and a sub-professional eligible... last april of 2009 im promoted to a higher position but my status of appointment is only temporary cause i need to pass the professional exam (level II) in civil service yet..., please help me i need to pass
@stealth – sorry to hear that… I guess you need another break just keep on applying for better a job.
@ Josephine alejo – I was once work for the government… If I am not mistaken at least college level is good enough as a basic requirement… But there are also some jobs that requires at least a high school diploma.
@ Melvin – all the best
@gretchen – there are reviewers available in National Bookstore near you or even any bookstore.
@ram – that will never happen, hehehe, so if you cannot lick em join em… start reviewing your math and go along well with it.
@wacky – thanks for agreeing with me wacky, you are so kind.
@JVB – whoa, gratz.
@JerryB – that calls for a big celebration, a way to go man.
@raizzah – it is indeed to hear that… yeah it will these are time tested.

Pahingi aman ng idea about the contents ng typical civil service exam naten... tnx poH!!!!!
Sir, does that mean na kahit may eligibility ka, hindi mo pa rin makukuha ang position if walang backer?? So, what's the purpose of taking the exam if kailangan pa rin ng backer? hehehe I'm just wondering. Thanks.
hmmm... thanks so much sir.. anyway, mukhang problema ko yata ang backer issue ah..hehe walang backer.. :)
yeah that will be a big plus the eligibility and your being undergraduate ECE as well... a backer will seal the deal...
By the way, ECE undergraduate po ako.
Hello sir. I passed the RO 12 November 16, 2008 professional for just a single take. Well, maybe I'm just lucky enough. LOL! :)Anyway, I just studied the RA 6713 and the 1987 constitution for 2 weeks just reading it repeatedly after I finish reading it. I just had a self study. So, is that a good credential if I would try to apply for a job in the government kahit undergraduate lang ako?
