The Career Service Examination – Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) for 403,567 examinees are scheduled for March 26. The Civil Service Commission (CSC) announced on Monday that preparations are underway.

According to the CSC, this figure is more than twice as much as the 147,877 registrations for the examinations on August 7, 2022, which prompted the organization to designate 94 testing centers across the country to accommodate the enormous number of candidates.

The CSE-PPT for the professional level will be taken by 350,645 people, or 86.89% of the total number of examinees, while the subprofessional examination will be taken by 52,922 people or 13.11%.

“Gaya from the aforementioned inasahan, halos kalahating milyon ang nakapag-register for sa darating na pagsusulit ngayong Marso. As of this moment, we have numerous testing facilities available to suit all test takers. (As anticipated, approximately 500,000 people registered for the upcoming tests. Pinapayuhan namin ang lahat ng examinees na basahin at intindihing mabuti ang Examination Advisory No. 2, s. 2023 na makikita sa aming website. In order to properly accommodate all test takers, we opened extra testing facilities. In a news release, CSC Chairwoman Karlo Nograles stated, “We advise all examinees to read and fully understand Examination Advice No. 2, s. 2023, which can be accessible on our website.

The CSC stated that the Online Notice of School Assignment, or ONSA, which can be accessed via erpo.csc.gov.ph/eNOSAv3, may now be used to generate the testing location or school assignment.

To become familiar with the examination process, candidates are urged to read and comprehend the “Examinee’s Guidance in Taking CSE-PPT,” which is only available to candidates through ONSA.

Examinees should immediately contact the CSC regional or field office where they submitted their application if they are unable to access the ONSA and still are unsure about their school assignment one week prior to the exam day.

Examinees are advised to visit or visually inspect their allocated school ahead of time in order to become acquainted with the location, its route/direction, available modes of public transportation, and travel times.

Reminders

According to the CSC, face mask use must always be observed. Examinees who do not have a face mask will not be allowed inside the testing facility.

According to the CSC, the “no ID (identity) card/document, no Exam” guideline must be carefully followed.

On the day of the exam, candidates must provide a valid ID card, ideally the one they used to submit their application.

The examinee must show one of the following documents if the ID card is lost or not available: a driver’s license, temporary driver’s license, student driver’s permit, passport, professional regulation commission licence, SSS or GSIS UMID, voter’s ID or certification, BIR, tax payer’s ID (ATM type/TIN card type with photo), or PhilHealth ID (must have the bearer’s name, clear picture, and PhilHealth ID number).

All identification cards must be current.

On the day of the exam, examinees who were unable to submit a certificate of consent, release, or waiver must also bring one.

Examinees are strongly advised to bring their own black pen(s) to complete the examination with, according to the CSC.

You cannot use pencils, gel pens, sign pens, fountain pens, friction pens, or other colored ballpoint pens.

Black ballpoint pens cannot be borrowed due to health concerns.

Examinees may also bring water in a clear or transparent container, candy or biscuits, and alcohol or hand sanitizer that is not larger than 100 ml.

Drinking and eating are only permitted outside the examination room and only with the examiner’s permission.

Examinees were advised by the CSC to arrive at their designated school no later than 6:30 a.m., or as instructed by the relevant CSC regional/field office.

Examinees must check in at the testing location no later than 7:45 a.m.; anyone who arrives after that time will not be permitted to take the exam.

On the day of the exam, candidates should be dressed appropriately, preferably in plain white shirts or tops.

Shorts, “tokong” pants, torn jeans, sleeveless clothing, and slippers are not permitted.

Be sure to tie back your long hair.
