You can pass the Professional Civil Service exam easily in one take if you follow the tips I am
sharing in this post. It is also known as Career 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-
Assisted Test (CAT). 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.
Review and refresh your knowledge. There is a book Reviewer for the CSC Exam available for
all National Bookstore. I bought mine. It’s orange. Perhaps it has another version or edition right
now. I suggest you buy one. It would really sharpen up your mind and refresh your knowledge.
The book 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

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:

Exam?
by Marifel Dungo 38 Comments

Who are exempted to take the Civil Service Exam in the Philippines? You can acquire civil
service eligibility even without taking the CS exam if you are on the following lists.

A lot of readers have been asking this question so I decided to make a post about it and include
here the list of exempted Civil Service exam takers.

According to the Civil Service Commission, there are 8 different eligibility under special laws.
You may not need to take the CS exam anymore if you have been granted of any of the
following entitlements:

Note that some categories are not the same or equivalent as the Professional and Sub-

requirement.
Bar and Board Exam passers:

 Bar Exam Passers – if you passed the Bar exam conducted by the Supreme Court

Sir/madam
I am a sub-professional passer. And im begging for my prof exam to pass. For how many
times i took the cs prof exam but it was not favorable on my side. For your info, I exerted
 effort enrolling in review centers for 3 different centers but until now i didn’t make it.
Sometimes i doubt & i feel it’s not fair already. I’m really determined to pass as you can
see in my records of application. I cannot count on my fingers now. I’m already 15 years
serving the gov’t as permanent employee and i also need to advance or promoted because
all these years i’m performing jobs above my level & my salary is only my plantilla of
course.. The reason why i can’t get the item or promotion because of this prof exam. I
already passed the specialized exam given to our agency but it’s just that my prof exam
that hinders everything in me. What other thing can i do. As i have read all the
exemption? Can you include also above 15 yrs of service as permanent employee to gov’t
office can apply also for the conversion for automatic cs prof holder. Or if possible can
you give special exams for 10 yrs above serving as permanent employee to the gov’t.

Hope that, this can reach the higher ups or the president of the civil service.

Thank you & expecting immediate reply on your side.

SSS employee

Numerical Reasoning Correct Answers with Solutions and Explanations:

 1. (2) next number in the sequence is 3. Notice that the numbers in the pattern were divided
by 3 to get the next number. Therefore, you divide 2187 by 3 you’ll get 729, then the next
and so on.
2. (3) 81 – you can get this by squaring the numbers (1×1=1), (2×2=4), (3×3=9) and so
on…
3. (4) -144 – subtract the 3rd and 1st to get the 2nd number, do the same to the next 3 sets
4. (1) IR KP – Use the equivalent ascending and descending letters in the alphabet
5. (2) P15625 – the pattern is the next 2 letters from the alphabet and the number multiplied
by 5 to get the next one…
6. (2) -9 –positive + negative numbers is to subtract them and follow the sign of the bigger
number
7. (3) 124 – positive – negative numbers is to change the sign of the subtrahend and follow
the rules in addition
8. (1) 198 – multiplying numbers with similar signs = positive
9. (1) -100 – already explained
10. (1) -80 – dividing numbers with different signs = negative
11. (4) ¾ + 5/2 + 1/3 – simplify the fractions given and convert the mixed number into
improper fraction
12. (3) LCD is 16 – the denominators are: 8, 4 and 16
13. (3) GCF is 18 since 36 and 64 are divisible by 18, 9, 6, 3
14. (3) the answer is 3 because ½ + 2 + ½ = 3
15. (2) the answer is 6/27 simplified into 2/9
16. (4) you will get 6 if you cross multiply the fractions
17. (1) .0075 because ¾ is 75 percent or 75/100
18. (4) 3.4/100 because percent is n/100
19. (2) .25 because it is the same as 25/100
20. (2) 5:4 because is is ½ divided by 2/5
21. (2) 2,120,000 because 10 to the 6th power is in million
22. (1) 2,500,000 because it is 25 x 100,000
23. (3) x = -3 because 5(-3) + 25 = 10
24. (4) y = 2 because 4 (8) – 2 (2) = 28
25. (1) x = 9 because 2 (9) + 4(8) = 50
26. (4) 5 years old – to get it, make a table and derive the equation:

Let x be Sam’s age:

Write the new relationship in an equation using the ages in 5 yrs.

In 5 years, Kit will be three times as old as Cara.

2x + 5 = 3 (x–5 + 5)
2x + 5 = 3x
x=5

Sam is now 5 years old.

27. (3) 8 years old – again solve it by making a table and derive the equation:

Let x be James’s age now. Add 2 to get the ages in 2 yrs.

Write the new relationship in an equation using the ages in 2 yrs.

In two years, the sum of their ages will be 58.

James is now 8 years old.

29. (2) 360 miles Solution: D= 50 (2) + 4 (65) = 360 miles

30. (1) Original price is P3,062.50

To get it, simply divide P2450 by 80%

Numerical Reasoning Practice Test – Civil

Service Exam
by Marifel Dungo 70 Comments

We are sharing here the best Numerical Reasoning practice test for the Civil Service exam. This
page includes the most common questions for this part of the CSE. Just like our other posts, we
also include effective tips and techniques to get the best and correct answer to every question.
Eventually, the PDF version of this whole online reviewer will be done and the release will be
announced in this site. Meanwhile, you can just use this free online reviewer because it contains
the complete scope of the Civil Service exam anyway.

Even though there is no calculator allowed, Quantitative Numerical Reasoning is not so

difficult in the Civil Service exam especially if the examinee is very good in Math and logic. It
involves mainly with the basic Mathematical processes – addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division for fractions, ratios, equations, and some problem solving or word problems. There
are many series and sequence-questions as well.

Tips to pass the Numerical Reasoning Test in Civil Service

Exam
 Relax and just enjoy answering your Math quizzes. If you’re relaxed, you’ll never lose focus and
that is so important.

 Know the basics of Math like adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions, ratios,
decimals, and equations. If you know these concepts, you’ll surely get everything. Otherwise,
you won’t know what to do. (see our techniques below)

 You can use scratch paper for your computations and solutions. Note that you will also have to
pass your scratch papers.

 Love Math because it is easy for someone who loves Math.

 Focus in solving problems. Think, analyze, and solve.

 Pray before the exam. It always helps.

Techniques in Numerical Reasoning Test
For the purpose of reviewing better, I’m going to share here some concepts of Math because like
I said, you have to know the basics before you solve everything. I know I have to share these
because this is an online reviewer in the first place. Reviewing is practice.

Decimals:

For Addition and Subtraction, it is very simple and easy. Just line up the given numbers though
their decimal point. If it has no decimal point, put one or convert one. Put zeros to complement
the numbers if needed.

I remember there are many questions about decimals when I took the exam. Lots involve with
multiplication and division. Same with fractions, I think I enjoyed that part so much because
fractions are my thing.

 Examples:

5.98 + 6 + ¾ = ______

1.25 + 1.5 + 7.875 ______

25 – 8.35 – 1.3 + _______

For Multiplication, don’t take it too hard because it is very simply too. Just multiply the
numbers and count the decimal places to the right of the given numbers then move in that
decimal (count) from the right answer to the left.

 Example: 3.05 x 1.4 =?

For Division, you have to divide the classic way by making the divisor a whole number. You
need to move the decimal place to the right to make it a whole number then do the same way
with the dividend. Add zeros to the dividend if necessary. See example below.

 Example: 0.35 ÷ 1.4 (0.35 is the dividend and 1.4 is the divisor here)

Fractions:
Some of the questions in Math and Quantitative Numerical Reasoning tests involve with
fractions because they are also related to decimals, percent, mixed numbers and algebraic
expressions. Again, if you master solving fractions, it will be a great edge for you.

Addition and Subtraction of Fractions

In this process, the easiest way is to always simplify the fractions by finding the LCD aka least
common denominator, then apply the operation. If the result is improper fraction (numerator is
bigger than denominator), simplify it too by giving the mixed number. Watch this helpful video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFGlgSfQ-Gk

How to Multiply and Divide Fractions?

To multiply fractions is easier. Just multiply both the numerator then multiply both the
denominator. Simplify the product is you must.

 Example: ½ x ¾ = 3/8

To divide fractions, inverse the second fraction then we follow the rules in multiplication. You
can also cross-multiply the given fractions.

 Example: How many 1/3’s are there in ½?

Converting Fractions to Decimals and vice versa

In converting fractions to decimals, just divide the numbers and round them off.

 Examples:

1/3 = .333
5/8 = .625
7/8 = .875
Another way is to find a number to multiply by the denominator to make it 10, 100 or 1000…

 Example:

source: Mathisfun.com

Positive and Negative Numbers:

Addition and Subtraction

 Positive + Positive = Positive

 Negative + Negative = Negative

 Positive + Negative = Subtract the two and use the sign of the bigger number

 Positive – Negative = Change the sign of the Subtrahend and follow the rules of Addition

 Negative – Negative = Change the sign of the Subtrahend and follow the rules of Addition

Multiplication and Division:

 Multiplying and dividing numbers with similar sign equals Positive ( + x + = +) and (– x – = + )

 Multiplying and dividing numbers with different signs equals Negative ( + x – = – ) and ( – x + =
–)

Number Series and Sequence:

There are also logical sequence and number series in this Math exam. Of course you have to find
the next number from the pattern. You will know the right answers by applying the same method
you used in a sequence to get the next number or the next.

Examples:

3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128

Problem Solving:

We cannot miss to include this scope here because every Math exam has problem solving. The
key to find the correct answers is to analyse the given case well and understand what is being
asked. Apply your magical Math logic.

di ba ganito gagawin sa number 18?

Example: Express 62.5% as a fraction

Step 1: Write down:

62.5/100

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 (because there is 1 digit after the decimal
place)

62.5/100 = 625 /1,000

(See how this neatly makes the top a whole number?)

Step 3: Simplify the fraction (this took me two steps, you may be able to do it one!) :

625 /1,000 = 25/40 = 5/8

Answer = 5/8

paano po ba?

Effective Tips in taking the Civil Service Exam

Paragraph Organization Civil Service Test

Examples
by Marifel Dungo 54 Comments

Next to Reading Comprehension, Paragraph Organization in the Civil Service exam is another
challenging part. It is not so difficult however, it is also very time consuming. Why? Because it
is about finding the correct arrangement of the sentences to form the correct paragraph, article or
story. You need to organize sentences – which comes first, then next and so on. Thus, it is called
“Paragraph Organization.”
Usually, in this type of test you will be given shuffled sentences and you need to arrange them
to form a story or a passage with sense. How would you know, you got the arrangement right?
Simple re-read your sequence and ask yourself if it makes sense. No worries darlings, we are
giving effective techniques and strategies here because the purpose of this reviewer is for you to
pass the exam in one take.

CC BY Andy Rennie Flickr

As usual, we provide paragraph organization test samples and questions below which you can
use as reviewer. I will make a PDF version of this book soon. This tutorial and these tips will
help you to prepare for your big day at the Testing Center. Relax and you will pass the test.

Tips in Paragraph Organization

Every paragraph, story or an article has a pattern and your goal is to organize the whole pattern
to present the main thought chronologically. If it’s hard for you, make an outline of each topic in
the sentences.

Watch out for signal words which indicates time or events.

Watch out for the following signal words:

Order or sequence:

 First, second, third, first and foremost, afterwards, then, next, at last, until, finally, lastly

Comparison: Similarities and differences:

 But, however, on the other hand, than, likewise, nonetheless, nevertheless, similarly,
oppose to, apparently

Cause and effect:

 Because, hence, thus, therefore, consequently, subsequently

Paragraph Organization Techniques:

1. Find the topic sentence. It usually contains the main idea or the main topic
2. Next find the supporting sentences that support that topic sentence.
3. Find the concluding sentence or the closing sentence. It usually the final thought or
conclusion and marks the end of the article, paragraph or story.

So easy right? Now, prepare yourself and answer the following quiz below.

Reading Comprehension Test, Exercise and

Strategies
by Marifel Dungo 278 Comments

One of the challenging exams given from many kinds of test is Reading Comprehension because
it is very time consuming. It involves with reading lots of paragraphs, articles, passages, and
sections. Do not worry because this reviewer is made to help you pass the exam in one take.
Reading Comprehension will be easy if you follow our helpful tips and strategies here. We
always provide sample test questions and exercises for this site reviewer.

How to pass the reading comprehension in an exam? The following tips, strategies and exercises
are the best reviewer. It will help you practice in finding the right answers in this type of quiz. It
really measures how you can comprehend and grasp about the topic in a passage.

Tips in getting the right answers for Reading and

Comprehension Exam
Stay calm and don’t panic. As you open the booklet, you’ll definitely see long passages and
paragraphs. Do not stress yourself into thinking “wow should I really have to read all of this?”
because you really should darling Unless you don’t want to pass the test and just waste your
chance.

Read with your eyes not with your mouth. Avoid lips movement and whispering because
reading with your lips is time consuming besides it will distract everyone. Reading with your
eyes is also reading with your mind, it will help you understand what you are reading better.
Do not read word for word. Instead, read group of words or sections at a time for they will help
you get the main topic of the paragraph. It will also help you save time and finish the test on
time.

Do not read the answers first before the questions and the paragraph, it will only confuse you.

Read fast and understand what you’re reading to get the main idea of the whole passage.
Questions are always related about the main idea. What is the main idea? It is simply the main
topic and the center of what is being talked about in the article.

Concentrate on the parts of the paragraph where the possible answer can be found.

Take note of the following:

 Main idea – is simply what the story is mainly about

 Climax – is the peak point or highlight of the story

 Plot – is the pattern of events of the story

 Conflict – is the tension and struggle part of the story

 Setting – is where and when the story takes place

 Best or alternative title – is usually being asked too so you must choose the best one
that talks about the main idea

Focus on reading and everything will be taken into your mind like a movie playing inside your
head. If you focus, you’ll never be disturbed. If you’re disturbed by something in the room, you
lose an important key to ace this part of the test.

Reading Comprehension Test Sample Questions and

Answers
Instruction: Read each paragraph or passage below and select the best answer for what is being
asked.

1. Boracay, the most famous beach in the Philippines, is also known as a blessed island. I
have never met anyone who has not been enthralled and fascinated when they visited Boracay.
The first time you set foot on its powder-like sand, you’ll surely feel lucky to be in a paradise
island. The moment you see its crystal pristine water, you’ll be so thankful you’re alive. Many
locals and foreigners go there again and again not only because of the breathtaking view but also
because to celebrate life and its blessings.

The best title for the above article is:

1. Famous Beach in the Philippines

2. The Beach of Boracay
3. Boracay, a Blessed Island
4. Why People Go to Boracay

2. Malaysia Airline Flight MH370’s disappearance is still under investigation. Many

countries joined in the search for what really happened and where the aircraft is now. The flight
lost contact with air traffic controllers about an hour after its take off. The weather was fine when
the aircraft was flying so it adds more theories about other possible reasons of the aircraft’s fate.
The oil slick spotted off Vietnam’s coast turned out to be fuel oil used in cargo ships so it has
nothing to do with the aircraft. Interpol also says the disappearance of the jet plane has nothing to
do with terrorist attack. More questions are adding to this quest and no specific answer is given
and proven yet.

The above selection supports the idea:

1. That Flight MH370 is somewhere under the sea

2. That Flight MH370’s disappearance is still a mystery
3. That Flight MH370 must have crashed after loss contact
4. That Flight MH370 is in Bermuda Triangle

3. Flappy Bird, a mobile game created in 2013 by Dong Nguyen from Vietnam became a hit
at the start of 2014. At the end of January 2014, it was the most downloaded game in the iOS
App Store. The game is extremely addictive and difficult so users strive harder to score higher.
Due to its intense popularity, the creator decided to remove it from the App Store. Because of its
millions of downloads, Nguyen claimed he was making $50,000 per day from it. The demand of
Flappy Bird made some gadgets owners to sell their devices with Flappy Bird installed for twice
or thrice their original price.

What is the best title for the above article?

1. Most Downloaded Game

2. The Demand of Flappy Bird Game
3. Flappy Bird App
4. The Rise of Game Apps

4. According to NASA, effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from
global climate change are now occurring like loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and
longer, more intense heat waves. Even our Earth’s average temperature has increased about 1
degree in Fahrenheit in the 20th century. Many experts and scientists believe that global
temperature will continue to rise from 2.5 to degrees Fahrenheit over the next century.

Which of the following conclusions best summarizes the selection above?

1. Climate change will continue to get worse until humanity takes serious actions to stop it.
2. Global climate change is happening on earth now.
3. The effects of climate change are getting extremely dangerous.
4. Global climate change and its effects are occurring and are likely to increase over time.

5. Mark Zuckerberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Facebook spoke with President Barack
Obama to discuss about internet privacy impositions by the U.S. government. Zuckerberg said,
“The Internet works because most people and companies do the same. We work together to
create this secure environment and make our shared space even better for the world.
This is why I’ve been so confused and frustrated by the repeated reports of the behavior of the
U.S. government. When our engineers work tirelessly to improve security, we imagine we’re
protecting you against criminals, not our own government.

The U.S. government should be the champion for the Internet, not a threat. It needs to be much
more transparent about what it’s doing, or people will believe the worst.
I’ve called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is
creating for all of our future. Unfortunately, it seems like it will take a very long time for true full
reform.

So it’s up to us — all of us — to build the Internet we want. Together, we can build a space that
is greater and a more important part of the world than anything we have today, but is also safe
and secure. I’m committed to seeing this happen, and you can count on Facebook to do our part.”

Why is Internet Privacy very important to all of us?

1. Because it is not safe to trust anyone with our online accounts.

2. Because nobody really owns the internet. It is a free space.
3. Because it protects and secures not only our online accounts but also our online activities.
4. Because the government’s protection is not enough.

6. Search Engine Optimization a.k.a. SEO is vital for a website to stay successful for a
long time. The world of internet continues to evolve so website owners must stay in the game by
making updates while practicing effective SEO. Great content and correct SEO are the blood of a
website because without them, a site could die.

The paragraph is mainly about what?

1. The importance of Search Engine Optimization

2. The life of a successful website
3. The secrets of making a website successful
4. How to apply Search Engine Optimization

7. There are around 2 million Filipinos without jobs today. That includes graduates and
undergraduates. According to survey, there will be another half-million to graduate this year
without possible job placements. Unemployed people complain about job shortage. Many go to
the cities to apply to some companies but end up going home with nothing. Unemployment rate
increases each year even though there are many job fairs.

The paragraph states that…

1. Unemployment in the Philippines is common

2. Unemployment rate in the Philippines is seriously increasing
3. Unemployment in the Philippines must be solved
4. Unemployment solutions for Filipinos
8. “In the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town named Forks
exists under a near-constant cover of clouds. It rains on this inconsequential town more than any
other place in the United States of America. It was from this town and its gloomy, omnipresent
shade that my mother escaped with me when I was only a few months old. It was in this town
that I’d been compelled to spend a month every summer until I was fourteen. That was the year I
finally put my foot down; these past three summers, my dad, Charlie, vacationed with me in
California for two weeks instead.

It was to Forks that I now exiled myself – an action that I took with great horror. I detested
Forks.

I loved Phoenix. I loved the sun and the blistering heat. I loved the vigorous, sprawling city.”
-Stephenie Meyer, “The Twilight Saga”

Provide the specific setting of the story

1. Phoenix
2. Rainy day
3. Forks, Washington
4. Twilight

9. “It’s twenty-five after six and the sky still has some shades of purple and orange…oh
well just like me, I am standing here, in this secretive rooftop, overjoyed…yet there are still
some fragments of fear and haze… I wonder if the sky is glad and excited about the night or if it
is crying over the bright day that passed.” – Fehl Dungo – “Higher than the Rooftop”

What is the mood of the story?

1. Happiness
2. Sorrow
3. Confusion
4. Grief

10. Investing has been a hot topic for quite a while. Many people especially employees
and entrepreneurs don’t rely on time deposits and regular savings account to save and earn
interests. The most common investments in the Philippines are through real estates, mutual funds
and trust funds. Although few people also join trading in the stock market, more and more
Filipinos are not reluctant to invest their money and diversify them to different money making
wheels.

What does the article try to convey?

1. Filipinos are now willing to open different investments.

2. Filipinos are wise in saving their money.
3. Filipinos rely mainly on savings and deposit accounts.
4. Filipinos invest in real estates, mutual funds and trust funds.
