How does the 80.00% passing rating work?
Passing requires an overall general rating of at least 80.00%. There is no individual per-subtest cutoff, and raw scores are not curved. You must finish 170 items in 3 hours and 10 minutes.
Are calculators allowed during the exam?
No. Calculators, smartwatches, and electronic devices are strictly prohibited inside examination rooms. All arithmetic must be performed mentally or on scratch sheets provided with the test booklet.
Is there a wrong-answer penalty?
No. There is no negative marking or penalty for wrong answers. If you are uncertain about an item, eliminate obvious incorrect choices and always shade an answer before time expires.
What is the difference between Subprofessional and Professional?
The Professional Level qualifies you for both 1st and 2nd level government positions and includes Analytical Ability (logic and syllogisms). The Subprofessional Level covers clerical operations instead and is for 1st level clerical positions only.
What kind of ballpen is required on examination day?
CSC rules strictly require BLACK BALLPEN ONLY. Gel pens, friction pens, sign pens, pencils, and blue ink are strictly prohibited for shading the OMR answer sheet. Bring at least two reliable black ballpens.
What is the prescribed examination day attire and entry protocol?
Proper attire is mandatory: Plain white shirt or collared shirt with sleeves. Sleeveless shirts, ripped jeans, shorts, and slippers are strictly prohibited. Gates close strictly at 7:30 AM; latecomers are not admitted.
