TACLOBAN CITY, Jan.
25 -- The Civil Service Commission
(CSC) regional office here has called on aspiring government workers to seriously
prepare for eligibility examinations, noting the very low passing rate last
year.
CSC assistant
regional director Rowin Riños reiterated the call on Thursday as their central
office recently released the computerized examination (COMEX) schedule for Career
Service Examination nationwide.
Citing results of the
August 2017 traditional paper and pencil tests, only 594 out of 7,723 actual
takers passed in Eastern Visayas. The number represents only 7.69 percent of
the total number of examinees for professional level.
For the
sub-professional level, the CSC said a passing rate of 7.85 percent with only
49 passers out of 624 takers.
Riños said questions
in the examinations had been discussed from elementary to college and
applicants just needed to review their notes to answer and pass the test.
“Ability of the
examinee is the main reason. There’s no more educational attainment to qualify
to take the examination for as long as you are 18 years old,” Rinos told PNA.
The CSC confers to
successful examinees the career service eligibility, one of the basic
requirements for permanent appointment to technical and clerical positions in
the government.
The agency announced
the conduct of COMEX professional level examinations in participating CSC
regional offices on February 8 and 15, April 12, 19, and 26, May 17 and 24, and
June 7, 21, and 28. The sub-professional level will be conducted on May 31.
The COMEX is on top
of paper and pencil tests held twice a year. The first one is scheduled on
March 18 with January 31 as the deadline for filing of applications.
Interested applicants
must create an account through the COMEX website and reserve a slot six days
prior to their desired exam date. (SQM/PNA)
