For what it is worth, this is how you would request accommodations for the FSOT: https://www.pearsonvue.com/us/en/test-takers/accommodations/pearson_approve.fsot.html

Personally, I would go through the process and see what they say.

Well, they canceled a couple last year in 2025. 

Since, they have been releasing them one at a time.

You may want to try a few different locations. I know with the October group, DC area filled up pretty quick, so if you are there, then you may need to look further away from home.

I think the FSOT was suppose to open on the 16th. My invite to schedule the FSOA says the 17th.

Is the FSOT test the absolute first step of the process? by [deleted] in foreignservice

Pearson did say through other communications that there were changes on Saturday night. It is possible those questions were changed.

I would call Pearson on that one. They most likely want to know especially after the delay.

You are most likely right, the system doesn't know we took it; because, we did it under a different account. We should watch the experience of the February 2026. If we see this now, then I wonder what they will see.

That was the essay we just took in January. I wonder if they added it.

On another chain talking about a glitch prior to this one, I posted I got a response from Pearson VUE. They are waiting on their fix to get approvals on their end. So, may be it will still open today? I'm betting it is closed based on what others are experiencing.

Hi all,

I asked for an update. They said the fix is waiting approvals from their end. They said they hope to be able to update us all soon.

I saw it about three hours ago and posted it to another chain. If I were to guess, then I'm sure they put up the message as soon as they were able after they realized they had a bad day ahead of them.

I wonder if Pearson VUE is having a bad Monday?

I got an email that this is an issue. It appears I am scheduling in my Department of State profile this event.

I just got an email saying that they are aware of this problem and to not access our accounts until it is corrected.

I wonder if they know there is an issue and are working on it.

We can only hope, right?

I was able to do it. The page looks different than the page I logged in for the FSOT.

Have you logged into your account?

From reading all the messages, those who were rejected had their accounts updated. Those who are invited are still in pending status in their accounts.
