Next to Reading Comprehension, Paragraph Organization in the Civil Service exam is another challenging part. It is not so difficult however, it is very time consuming.
Why? Because it is about finding the correct arrangement of the sentences to form the correct paragraph, article or story. You need to organize sentences – which comes first, then next and so on. Thus, it is called “Paragraph Organization.”
Usually, in this type of test you will be given shuffled sentences and you need to arrange them to form a story or a passage with sense. How would you know, you got the arrangement right?
Simple re-read your sequence and ask yourself if it makes sense. No worries darlings, we are giving effective techniques and strategies here because the purpose of this reviewer is for you to pass the exam in one take.

As usual, we provide paragraph organization test samples and questions below which you can use as reviewer. I will make a PDF version of this book soon. This tutorial and these tips will help you to prepare for your big day at the Testing Center. Relax and you will pass the test.
Tips in Paragraph Organization
Every paragraph, story or an article has a pattern and your goal is to organize the whole pattern to present the main thought chronologically. If it’s hard for you, make an outline of each topic in the sentences.
Watch out for signal words which indicates time or events.
Watch out for the following signal words:
Order or sequence:
- First, second, third, first and foremost, afterwards, then, next, at last, until, finally, lastly
Comparison: Similarities and differences:
- But, however, on the other hand, than, likewise, nonetheless, nevertheless, similarly, oppose to, apparently
Cause and effect:
- Because, hence, thus, therefore, consequently, subsequently
Paragraph Organization Techniques:
- Find the topic sentence. It usually contains the main idea or the main topic
- Next find the supporting sentences that support that topic sentence.
- Find the concluding sentence or the closing sentence. It usually the final thought or conclusion and marks the end of the article, paragraph or story.
So easy right? Now, prepare yourself and answer the following quiz below.

Yes, Civil Service exam is not that hard. You just need to review to prepare for the real exam and read all the posts in this reviewer to know what will happen before, during and after the exam. I personally just self-reviewed and I know lots of people did the same and they passed 🙂
please send me all the answers (Numerical Reasoning Practice Test; Paragraph Organization Civil Service; Reading Comprehension Test, Exercise and Strategies; Civil Service Exam Reviewer for Analogy and Logic; Correct Spelling and Idiomatic Expressions with Meaning and Examples) Thank you!
