Many Filipinos aspire for a fruitful, rewarding career in the government service. Landing a government job requires that one must first pass the civil service exam or attain career service eligibility. To help you in passing the civil service exam, we have collected civil service exam reviewers and materials for you to study and learn from before taking the test.
When I took and passed the civil service exam in 2006, there weren’t many websites that offer civil service exam reviewers and study materials back then. I had to borrow reviewer books or buy them from the bookstore.
With more people turning to the Internet for information, it’s now a lot easier to review and prepare for the civil service exam. There are now plenty of websites that offer free civil service exam reviewers, questionnaires and study guides. There are also Facebook groups and pages that allow you to self-study for the civil service exam.
If you’re interested on how to take and pass the civil service exam with flying colors, you can read our comprehensive guide here. After that, you can download these civil service exam reviewers and study materials to increase your chances of passing the exam.
