I’m American so I don’t think we have any such thing so it’s hard for me to wrap my head around.
[The Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_service?wprov=sfti1#) makes it sound like it’s all non elected government employees, but it’s hard for me to imagine a single exam that you need to pass to become a post office worker or a DMV worker or something like that.

A lot of jurisdictions in America have similar tests. They are by no means the only requirement for the job but they established that for most civil service jobs, you at least need basic math and reading skills. Those are the sorts of things they tend to test for in a civil service exam. It just weeds out people who are grossly unqualified for these jobs so you don’t have to waste time actually interviewing them.
