The study guide loses credibility when the experts "who've been out in the feild" cannot even manage to spellcheck the back of the book. I'll be returning the "effient" guide and its "Practic Test." Very disappointing.
This book is a complete joke. Nothing but a one and a half complete example of exams questions. The rest is just interpretation with very superficial guidelines pointing to other links. There are also lots of inaccuracies when describing the FSO tracks as well as the Language Test.This book is very inaccurate, superficial and poorly written. I wouldn't bother to buy it anymore and mine will be given away to charity.. Not even worth keeping it.
This is a no-fluff test prep book that covers far more than the hundreds of pre-test questions necessary to prepare for one of the hardest exams youâll ever take. It is not only well-written and engaging, but the author clearly comes across as an expert in his field. I would call him a âcoachâ in his approach to writing this book.What impressed me most with The Complete FSOT Study Guide is that the author walks through a full picture of what to expect leading up to the process of passing the exam, with chapter after chapter giving valuable examples of what I could do to increase my chances of passing. Since only 10% of those who take the test actually make it to the finish line to become an FSO (for various reasons), Iâd do whatever I could to increase my chances.If youâre serious about passing the exam, youâll need to heed the authorâs warning that this is not a walk in the park. Heâll take you through a serious of questions and situations to make sure something in your past wonât prevent you from moving forward. Heâll tell you what you need to do to increase your chances of passing the medical and security clearances. Most importantly, heâll bring up stories of applicants who thought they had a clean slate only to find that one relationship or medical incident kept them from passing the background check. By the way, those are the most interesting chapters to read. The author is quite engaging with the reader. Then get ready to tackle the next step: choosing the career track.The author outlines the 5 different career tracks in great detail, not just with general job descriptions, but with behind-the-scenes, âstep into this guyâs shoesâ expectations of each role. You probably already know what you want to do, but I would read through this carefully to make sure itâs truly what you want.Skipping ahead⦠the QEP section explains how the panel will judge you. The book offers an entire âwhat to expectâ when taking the oral assessment, the group exercise, the structured interview and the case management writing exercise. Donât rush though this chapter because again, youâll be coached on what to expect, and what the evaluators are looking for in your answers. Prepare for plenty of mental strategy when prepping for this partâ¦the author talks you through that, with a conversational hot seat to give you an idea.With that, weâre only 25% of the way through the book. The rest of the book continues on with links to forums and other resources online for practice, tips to help you maximize your study time with content consumption for best memory retention, and how to earn selection bonus points. You can skip the chapters you know well and dig in where you need the help.The practice pre-test questions make up a good 50% of the book. The questions are complete, relevant, and the answers at the end give you detailed explanation to the reason for the answer.Reading this book wonât guarantee youâll pass the test, (just like hiring a fitness coach wonât guarantee a 6-pack) but this author writes like a coach to encourage you, challenge you, and give you the edge you need to tackle this test. I highly recommend it.
Very good information in this book. The author provides insight as a Foreign Service Officer in a format intended to help anyone dreaming of filling the shoes of a United States diplomat. This man goes into detail about THE ENTIRE PROCESS of becoming a Foreign Service Officer for the Department of State. This is an outstanding book to start your preparation process as the author gives a concise list of suggested reading that beats the hell out of what the State Department suggests. The author also gives personal accounts of the FSOA process which makes this a good book even for the casual reader (just skip over the instructional bits).
I recently used this guide while preparing for the FSOT exam. I am quite satisfied with the guide. The author, Mr. Clark, clearly knows the topic and following this guide made studying for the exam simple and virtually pain free. I went into the exam feeling confident and even excited! Definitely worth the price, and the digital format made it simple to find the topics I wanted to re-visit.
I really like the way this book is organized. The reading lists are very helpful since the author is able to point out which books will be the most useful for you. The advice about health clearance was super helpful too.
I figured I'd take a chance with the newest study guide considering it had high recommendations from a website I was following. Turns out, it's a pretty good starter. It's obvious that the author knows what he's talking about and I really liked the tone he used. Furthermore, I liked a lot of the inside information the author gave and how he even used stories to prove a point. All in all, this book won't solely prepare you for the FSOT, but this is definitely a good start and worth the price.
Very thorough and helpful, not written in a textbook format, but more of a coaching format with a lot of good insider information. I wish I had found this study guide earlier.
