You can read the material (booklet) in one day and pass the test, and you can do practice tests online. All of the questions that I got during my actual test were in the practice tests. Good luck everyone!
I’m sure may nagkwento na before me, pero just in case tamad kayo magbackread lol -
Part 1 - Interview: all the officer did was to ask for my birth certificate, passport and drivers licence, scan them, return them back to me, mention the wait period for pledge ceremony which is 6 months from date your application gets approved and then he told me to make my way to the test room after giving me a piece of paper with my name on it that I need to give to the proctor.
Part 2: Test Proper: The proctor asked me to put my belongings in a locker, and gave me a piece of paper with information about the pledge, wait times etc. He then asked for my passport, looked me up in the system and then walked me to one of the computers.
Test was multiple choice (3 choices). You can skip questions but tbh you don’t have to coz the questions are not difficult (but I acknowledge that difficulty is relative) as long as you read the booklet where the questions will be based on.
Good luck to everyone!
