The following is a press release from the Civil Service Commission.

A total of 276,819 examinees nationwide will take the Career Service Examination-Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) on Sunday, August 4, 2019, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) reported.

The figure is distributed into 243,020 examinees taking the Professional level and 33,799 examinees for the Subprofessional level.

The CSC advised examinees to come as early as 6 am to verify and locate their room assignment. Gates of testing venues will be closed at exactly 7:30 am and those who will arrive later will not be admitted. Failure to take the examination shall mean forfeiture of examination fee and slot, and the CSC will not allow any rescheduling.

Those who are unable to generate their school and room assignment via ONSA may call the CSC Regional or Field Office where they filed their exam application.

The CSC also advised examinees to conduct an ocular inspection of their assigned testing venue at least one day before the examination day to be familiar with the school’s location and route/direction to take, the available means of public transport, and travel time from point of origin to the testing venue considering the traffic situation.
