Clerical Ability tips
- File by surname first, then first name, then middle name — “nothing comes before something.”
- Treat surname prefixes (Dela, Del, De los) as part of the surname and compare letter by letter.
- Keep a running list of words you misspell and drill them in short daily sets.
- Work clerical items fast but check each one once — accuracy is the whole point.
Common traps
- Filing by first name when the item lists the full name in normal order.
- Overlooking a single swapped or doubled letter in spelling items.
- Spending too long on one filing item and rushing the rest.
