Tips for Passing the Civil Service Exam
Passing the Career Service Examination (CSE) is the gateway to permanent employment in the Philippine government. Use these tips to succeed.
Focus on Weak Areas
Most candidates fail because they ignore their weakest subject. Spend 60% of your review time drilling topics like word problems, algebra, or sentence correction.
Learn the Passing Rate Rules
To pass the CSE, you must achieve an overall score of 80.00%. There is no minimum score per individual category, but you must score consistently high across all sections.
Pace Yourself
The Professional exam contains 170 items to be answered in 3 hours and 10 minutes. This gives you roughly 67 seconds per question. Do not get stuck on a single item.
