The Philippine Career Service Examination (CSE) is widely recognized as one of the most competitive government exams, with consistently low overall pass rates. For instance, in the August 2026 CSE Pen and Paper Test, only 34,719 out of 240,934 examinees successfully passed, resulting in a national passing rate of just 14.41%. This passing rate is notably lower than those typically seen in board or licensure examinations like the Bar Exam and the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), emphasizing the intense competition and level of preparation required.
