Foreign Service Officer Test (FSOT): Complete Study Guide to the Written Exam and Oral Assessment
Important note on the Kindle Edition
In an effort to provide the benefits of this study guide to the widest possible audience, we are offering the Kindle edition for the low price of $9.99 -- as well as offering the book for free as part of the Amazon Owners' Lending Library (only available to Amazon Prime members). However, please note that the book includes a number of tables and other formatting features that despite our efforts do not translate perfectly into the Kindle format. Thus, we believe that the print edition is a better choice for most people (while still being affordably priced at approximately $25).
FSOT The Complete Study Guide to the Foreign Service Officer Test includes information about the test and foreign service, test-taking strategies and practice questions (including full explanations) and essay prompts.
According to a Department of State presentation, only 8% of candidates that took the written exam in 2009 passed all three steps. This demonstrates how important it is to prepare appropriately for the exam. Further, if you fail the FSOT you will need to wait 12 months before being allowed to take the test again.
