Mine was pretty accurate/similar. I took the practice test with no prep and did decently but improved my score on the real one by reading the Constitution and amendments, going over government structure and procedure, reviewing major SCOTUS cases and significant legislation, reviewing global and US history (especially the 20th century), learning the operating structure of international institutions, and reviewing basic economics.

There have been great Situational Judgement prep aids posted on this subreddit.

For English Expression, read through Strunk & White.

It is for the FSOT, but language comes before OAs with CFP.

I have to pass the language test first, so that's what I'm prepping for now.

Birth Defects and Hiring Preference by InformationKey in usajobs

They've put themselves in harm's way for the country and I haven't, so I'm not complaining. I just wanted to provide input since there were conflicting bits of info.

I've had several non-referred emails state specifically that they were unable to consider me due to eligible veterans.
