How Pass the Civil Service Exam in the Philippines (Effective Tips)
1. Take time to review or self-review some days before the exam.
When you had reviewed some sample tests and scope your exam, you are well-prepared. Remember “Preparation could only take you so far.” Reviewing will also sharpen up your knowledge and will add confidence in passing the exam. It will also allow you to rehearse answering hard and unfamiliar questions. If you want a free reviewer, go here.
2. Make sure you know your Testing Center already.
Spend some time before the exact day to visit your Testing Center and Room Assignment so you will know where to go on your exam schedule. You can also avoid being late when you do this.
3. Eat your favorite breakfast before going to the Testing Center.
A satisfied tummy creates a healthy mind. Besides, you need enough energy in a half-day-exam. Believe me, it is not only time consuming, it is also energy consuming because the Civil Service Exam is a brain workout.
4. Don’t be late.
Come earlier like 40 minutes before the time of your exam. It will relax your mind and body. Having enough time before the exam will prepare you well.
5. Don’t forget to write your Examination Number and shade the appropriate circles corresponding to your complete Name.
Just imagine if you have answered all the questions and you’re so sure to the moon and back you’re going to be a Career Service Professional so soon but you forgot to write your name on the answer sheet. Too much excitement is not so good.
6. Follow Instructions Carefully.
Yes, that includes listening to your instructor. Listen to what he/she will say. They will always tell you what to fill out and what not to fill out. They will also tell you what subject you will take and what time you need to finish on that subject.
7. Don’t open the Test Booklet until the instructor told you so.
Likewise, don’t return the Test Booklet until the instructor told you so.
8. Shade the circles corresponding to your answers.
Shade the circles that match to your answers. Don’t over-shade and don’t halfly-shade for that matter. There may be excess numbers, if the time is nearly finished and there are still unanswered numbers, make sure you only shade until the last number of the last question. Some people shade all the items not knowing that this is excessive. You would end up failing.
9. Follow specific direction and instruction in a given test.
Every subject or section of the Civil Service exam may have different set of instructions. So, you must take note of the specific instruction for a certain part of your test questions.
10. Never leave an item blank unless the given instruction directs you accordingly.
Never leave any question or item unanswered. You must follow every instruction no matter what.
11. Write and erase gently.
Shade lightly and erase gently to avoid damaging the answer sheet. Sometimes we can’t avoid erasing something, we must erase as gentle as possible and shade our chosen answer.
12. Make sure you have extra pencils.
Remember to bring extra pencils and ensure that they are already sharpened to avoid sharpening them again and again. Remember, time in the exam is vital.
13. Avoid excessively sharpened pencils.
Excessively sharpened pencils might damage your answer sheet. It will be easier for you to shade a circle too if your pencil is not too pointed.
14. Visit the restroom before the start of your exam.
Time is really pressuring so make sure you have done your Restroom rituals before the exam. Make sure you have all your pencils prepared. Don’t spend too much time on a difficult question because time is really just enough.
15. Answer the items your have skipped.
Again, never leave an item unanswered. Go back to those questions you skipped and choose the best reasonable and educated answer.
16. Relax and enjoy the exam.
Avoid panicking because it can only worsen things. If you relax and enjoy the exam, it will make you happy and it will condition your brain.
17. Pray before and after the exam.
Prayer always does wonders!
