To avoid disqualification or delays, all examinees should carefully review the complete announcement. Proper preparation and awareness of the rules will help ensure a smooth examination experience.
The Philippine Civil Service Exam is notoriously one of the most challenging professional tests, with consistently low pass rates. For instance, based on the August 2025 CSE results, only 46,470 out of 318,973 exam takers passed the test. This means the passing rate was just 14.57%, highlighting the exam’s difficulty and competitiveness. This passing rate is lower than it was for both the Bar Exam and LET, as well as other regulated exams.
