Upcoming Exams in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania State Civil Service Commission (SCSC) provides state residents with the opportunity to compete for open positions through testing.  Success on these exams can help candidates gain employment with state, city or local government.

For a complete list of current and previously administered exams in Pennsylvania, refer to the SCSC website.  Note that many exams in Pennsylvania are scored by test candidates' education and experience rather than with a written test.
