📋 About the Civil Service Exams

Civil Service Exams are standardized tests used to assess candidates for government employment at federal, state, and local levels in the United States. Based on the merit system established by the Pendleton Act of 1883, these exams ensure fair hiring based on qualifications rather than political connections. Exams vary by position and jurisdiction, testing skills from clerical abilities to specialized professional knowledge. Passing scores typically place candidates on eligible lists ranked by score, from which hiring agencies select employees.
