The Entry-Level Clerical Series is the New York State Department of Civil Service test series used for entry-level clerical titles in state and county government, such as Clerk. It is issued by the New York State Department of Civil Service. The Entry-Level Clerical Series has an overall test time allowance of 3 hours; the examination announcement for the specific title lists exactly which of the five subject areas are tested and the number of questions. This portal's practice mock has 100 questions across all five areas. The Department of Civil Service sets the scoring and passing rules for each examination, which are listed in the examination announcement rather than the test guide, so none is quoted here. The test guide states no fee; fees, if any, are listed in each examination announcement. The content outline spreads questions across 5 areas; the largest are Spelling (20.0%); Alphabetizing (20.0%); Record Keeping (20.0%). Eligibility requirements, filing dates and the subject areas tested are listed in the examination announcement for each title; confirm them before you apply. This portal prepares you for the clerical test content; it does not replace the examination announcement or the application.
