Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming exam and what you should already be doing to pass it.

📅 Important Dates

  • Exam Date: August 10, 2025

✅ What You Should Be Doing Right Now

1. Finalize Your Exam Registration

Make sure your documents are in order:

  • Valid government-issued ID
  • Fully accomplished application form
  • Recent passport-sized photo (CSC specs)
  • Exam fee (usually ₱500)

Submit early to avoid long lines or cutoff limits at your local CSC testing center.

2. Plan a Realistic Study Schedule

With only a few weeks left, create a daily or weekly plan. Focus on these key topics:

For Professional Level:

  • Verbal ability
  • Numerical ability
  • Logical and analytical reasoning
  • General information (Philippine Constitution, RA 6713, current events)

For Sub-Professional Level:

  • Verbal and numerical skills
  • Clerical ability (filing, sequencing, spelling)
  • General information

Use Brevph's Practice and Flashcards features to study smarter.

3. Take Practice Tests Under Time Pressure

Many examinees fail not because they don’t know the answer — but because they run out of time. Simulate the actual exam using mock tests with a timer.

Get used to:

  • Answering multiple-choice items quickly
  • Moving on from difficult questions and returning later
  • Managing stress during exam time

4. Master the Instructions Format

One of the most common causes of wrong answers is not reading instructions carefully. Practice identifying keywords like:

  • "Which of the following is NOT..."
  • "Choose the BEST answer..."
  • "EXCEPT..."

Train your eye and brain to spot these during reviews.

5. Take Care of Your Physical and Mental Health

Good sleep, healthy food, and breaks during study sessions are essential. Avoid cramming the night before the exam.

Follow the Pomodoro Technique or spaced repetition to prevent burnout.

6. Prepare Your Exam Essentials Early

Don’t leave this to the last minute. Get ready with:

  • Valid ID
  • Exam permit or notice of admission
  • Black ballpens
  • Water and light snacks
  • Comfortable (but appropriate) clothing

The August 10 Civil Service Exam is your opportunity to qualify for stable, rewarding government work. It’s not just about studying hard — it’s about studying right.
