I used a copy of this study guide for the Foreign Service Officer Exam. I am confused about how there are so many reviews here without a positive word to say. I am guessing this book underwent a major overhaul, because the book I have is very different from what is described. The reviews I see say there is not enough information or enough relevant information in this guide, however the copy I have is quite lengthy, with more than three quarters of it devoted to the exam, and a third of it to study techniques and specific guidance on test anxiety and math performance. The contents are divided as follows: English Expression Test, which covers all areas of english grammar, punctuation, word similarities, and tense, then Job Knowledge General Test, which advises using additional texts to supplement study depending upon your specific career track. World and U.S. History section follows, then Math and Statistics, covering all vital math skills, Economics/Communication/Computers, covering the U.S. Economic Systems, Money Management, Processing Information, Office Procedures, Management, Communication and Employability Skills, Accounting, Marketing, and Biographic Information Questionnaire Test. Then the section on the Essay, and Practice Test.The information was fitting and plentiful, and also full of very interesting bonus information. Links are included in the last page to more bonus info including Study Secrets, How to Overcome Test Anxiety, US Government Review, Math Formulas, Practice Test, Overcoming Math Fear, and a Vocabulary List. My experience was very positive, and so it seems this material has been recently updated. Hopefully others will be able to benefit from it as well!

There is no easy way of saying this but... The Foreign Service Officer Test is one tough cookie to crack, or in this case, one tough exam to pass.It depends on what kind of a person you are. If you feel you are a perspective person, a cosmopolitan, or just someone who has a lot of general knowledge, you have a good chance of passing this test, *IF* you are also a good English (essay) writer.If you are not that kind of a person, no problem. You will just have to study a few months for this exam like most of us do.I find that this study guide is useful for preparing yourself to taking tests in general, with content that is specific to FSOT.The claim was that this book is "fast-paced" and "fluff-free". I have to (mostly) agree with them.Since the FSOT test a really wide array of domains, you can't actually expect that it will contain every single fact, instead, it gives you enough information to possibly pass the test, or at least give you a great head-start of what you should be studying.This book will help you with passing the test, but make sure you have the ability to remember a lot of facts!
This will help. I took the exam passed and have a conditional offer for an FSO position. This will help you get familiar with the test and give you some excellent advice on test taking strategy and areas to study if you feel you are weak in certain areas. Given the number of people taking the test, getting familiar with the test and figuring out how to boost your score by a few points can make a huge difference in your chances for success or failure.
Fast ship - book received as described!
The book is really helpful as I feel more confident now to take the exam. I am rating the book at 5. Not being a native English speaker, I had some issues with punctuation, grammar, and vocabulary. Now with the rules I have in my possession, I will be able to tackle that part more easily during the test.
The more detailed answers for the flash cards has been an excellent refresher for the information I don't know or remember as well. It also gives me a better idea of where I'm at with the information I do remember better.
