So what's the difference between the Professional and Sub-Professional Levels? Well obviously, the latter has a "sub" while the former has none. But kidding aside, the major difference lies in their scope.

For the Professional level, all competencies above, except for the Clerical Operations, are found in the Civil Service Exam. On the other hand, the CSE for Sub-professional level has a similar scope, but, excludes Analogy and Logic then augments Clerical Operation test questions.

About 85%  of the examination is comprised of Verbal (Filipino is integrated in this portion), Analytical and Mathematical competencies while the remaining 15% is a test about how knowledgeable and informed you are when it comes to the topics mentioned under part 4 above.

Moreover, the first 20 items/questions will ask about your personal information and is likely not included in the computation of your rating. You will have to answer them accordingly and accurately.
