So, you took the Civil Service Examinations, poured your heart and soul into it, prayed to every saint you could think of… and still flopped. Ouch. You checked the results, scrolled frantically for your name, and when you couldn’t find it, you refreshed the page—twice. But nope, still not there.
First of all, take a deep breath. You are not the first person to bomb an exam, and you certainly won’t be the last. But let’s get one thing straight: failing doesn’t mean you’re doomed to a lifetime of filling out barangay clearance forms in triplicate. It just means you need a new game plan. And lucky for you, we’ve got just the thing.
Think of your failure as the first act of a hero’s journey. Ever seen a superhero movie where the hero wins on their first try? Exactly. Superman got his cape tangled a few times before he mastered the whole flying thing.
The Civil Service Exam isn’t just about answering multiple-choice questions—it’s about strategy, mindset, and learning how to outthink the examiners (yes, they’re out to trick you, but don’t worry, we’ll get to that).
So let’s wipe those tears, crumple that resignation letter, and get back to work. Here’s how to dust yourself off, get your confidence back, and CRUSH that exam on your next try.
Specifically, the Crack the Civil Service Examination Code: The Secret is in Your Mindset, will be a much needed boost in your next attempt. Hereunder, are some of the concepts from the free ebook you get lessons from.

Look, we know the temptation to dramatically throw your reviewer out the window is strong. Maybe you’ve already spent the last week stress-eating pancit canton while binging teleseryes. We get it.
But here’s the truth: failing doesn’t mean you’re not smart—it just means something in your strategy wasn’t working. Maybe you were relying too much on last-minute cramming. You memorized all the wrong things. Maybe the testing gods were just not in your favor that day. Whatever it is, it can be fixed.
If you don’t know why you failed, how do you expect to pass next time? Time to play detective. Ask yourself:
Once you pinpoint what went wrong, you can start making changes. Think of it as debugging your exam-taking skills.
Active Recall – Instead of just reading, quiz yourself. Close your book and try to explain what you just learned in your own words.
The Feynman Technique – Teach a friend (or your dog) the topic you’re reviewing. If you can explain it simply, you understand it.
Mock Exams – The best way to prepare for an exam? Take mock exams. Timed. No peeking at notes. Train your brain to think under pressure.
Smart Guessing – Some questions are designed to confuse you. Learn to eliminate wrong answers. If you’re stuck between two choices, pick the one that sounds the least ridiculous.
Exam day arrives, and suddenly your brain decides to shut down. Sound familiar? Let’s fix that.
Breathe. No, really. Deep breathing helps trick your brain into relaxing.
Visualize yourself passing. Sounds corny, but Olympic athletes do it. If it works for gold medals, it can work for your exam.
Get enough sleep. Do not—I repeat, do not—pull an all-nighter before the exam. Your brain will retaliate.
Eat brain food. Skip the energy drinks and go for something that won’t make you crash mid-test. (Bananas, eggs, nuts—thank us later.)
