In the Philippines there are two levels of civil service examination or sometimes called career examination as identified by the Civil Service Comission as Professional and Sub-Professional levels that are open to all applicants regardless of their educational attainment, as long as they are 18 years old above, no criminal records and a Filipino citizen, they can take the exam. But up-course passing it is not easy. Seriously this is not an easy exam that every year only 11-12% of all the examinee all over the country passed the exam, the remaining 88% failed so in every 100 examinee only 12 has passed the exam. Pretty low, right? Well don't be afraid, if you're prepared enough, you got a high chance of passing the exam.
Well what about the difference between two level, the professional and sub-professional. Most of the time, people says that if you finished a 4 year course or a bachelor degree then you should take the professional level because it is harder and if you only finished a vocational course or you're a college undergrad you should take the sub-professional level because it is easier. Yes it is true!. But actually, you can take both level regardless of your educational attainment. The coverage of the exam for both levels is almost the same except for some key differences.
For both levels you should study the following subjects: English, Mathematics, Clerical operations and General information but here is the key differences- for professional level there are additional two subjects that you should study--Analogy and Logical Reasoning that troublesome a lot of examinee because these two subject are time consuming since the exam has a time limit. For sub-professional there are 165 items to answer in 2 hours and 40 minutes while the professional exam has 170 items to answer in 3 hours and 10 minutes.
If you are a subprofessional level passer, you'll be appointed in the first level positions in the government mostly clerical job but if you are a professional exam passer you'll be appointed in both first level or second level position-mostly white collars job depending on your educational attainment, experiences and abilities.
You're the one to choose, anyway in my opinion, it you want to play it safe take the sub-professional exam first and if you pass, it will boost your confidence to take the more harder professional exam.
