W A R N I N G

The Civil Service Commission uses a highly reliable system to detect cheats.

Cheating refers to any act or omission before, during, or after any civil service examination that will directly or indirectly undermine the sanctity and integrity of the examination. Any form of cheating in any civil service examination has been declared criminally and administratively punishable under Republic Act No. 9416. The forms of cheating are, as follows:

1. Use of crib sheets or “codigo” containing codes in any form (written on any material or in digital form)
2. Impersonation
3. Employing a “poste” or a person inside or outside of the examination room who may or may not be an examinee but provides examinees with answers
4. Collusion of whatever nature between examinees and examination personnel
5. Examinee number switching
6. Unauthorized possession / use / reproduction / dissemination of examination-related materials
7. Possession / use of fake Eligibility
8. Such other acts of similar nature which facilitate passing the examination

Bringing the test booklet outside the testing room/venue is strictly prohibited. The examination, or test results, of those found violating this rule shall be cancelled.
 
Moreover, the CSC strongly denounces and strongly discourages the act of sharing and disseminating test questions and the suggested answers thereto, including sharing and posting  the same online such as in social media applications and other platforms, and such other means that tend to directly to indirectly undermine or threaten sanctity and integrity of the Civil Service examinations.
 

One to two weeks before the examination day, the CSC shall issue an Examination Advisory, which shall carry information for examinees on the following areas:

  • Important reminders
  • School assignment / testing venue
  • Thing to bring
  • Scope of examination and other information
  • Other reminders
  • UPDATES / DEVELOPMENTS regarding the examination, and/or the above mentioned areas
