Common patterns in non-passers
Pattern 1: Insufficient overall preparation
Most non-passers reviewed under 50 hours total. CSE Sub-Pro realistically needs 80-100 hours.
Pattern 2: Skipped General Information
Candidates who scored 80%+ on Verbal + Clerical but 40% on General Information end at 70% composite. The fix: Constitution + RA 6713 cold.
Pattern 3: Numerical weakness
Candidates whose math is rusty struggle on Numerical. Daily 30 min of arithmetic + word problem drilling for 6 weeks closes the gap.
What passers tend to share
- 80+ hours of focused review
- 3+ mock tests
- Constitution + RA 6713 deep review
- Daily reading habit (English + Filipino)
