Is the CIVIL exam different depending on which state you take it in?

Relocating from one state to another in a few months and trying to figure out if my Civil Service FAQ prep needs to change based on where I'll be taking the actual exam.

I've been studying "civil service exam" and the materials seem standardized, but I've heard the exam can vary by state or have different question weights.

Specifically wondering:
- Are passing scores the same across states?
- Does the content on civil services academy differ by state?
- If I pass in one state, does it transfer?

The official resources are confusing on this. Some say it's a national exam, others suggest state-specific versions exist.

Anyone who's taken CIVIL in multiple states or knows how the portability works — would really appreciate the clarity before I invest more time in state-specific prep.

The nj civil service helped me understand what the exam actually tests rather than just what the material covers.
