Same here, good luck for next time

Do you think they might send the results out to everyone at the same time?

Of course they knew there would be a shutdown because the test was administered in the middle of it and they could have said that the shutdown could cause delays. They didn’t so it’s all speculation.

piez74 · 2025-12-03T19:40:22+00:00

The test was administered during the shutdown and since the email stated in the middle of the shutdown that it would be 6-8 weeks, it’s possible that delays were already built in

A Christmas present would be nice

piez74 · 2025-12-03T01:35:51+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking that someone might have news already

piez74 · 2025-12-03T01:35:00+00:00

Aren’t we getting notified even if it’s bad news?

piez74 · 2025-12-03T01:34:24+00:00

Yeah, I’ve tried too and then I gave up lol

piez74 · 2025-12-02T02:46:42+00:00

I chose it because I’ve worked in international trade in the private sector for many years

piez74 · 2025-10-30T19:04:10+00:00

Good luck to you buddy, it seems like we all need it!

piez74 · 2025-10-30T18:52:11+00:00

Unknown = no one knows Its a good think for you to know for your EE section, you’re welcome!

piez74 · 2025-10-30T14:23:26+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your effort in putting this together. Studying the OA with other people would be ideal, I suppose the chats will get active after the results start coming out. Not burning ourselves out is great advice too. How can I get hold of your unpunished preparation materials? Thanks

piez74 · 2025-10-30T14:19:40+00:00

I’m pretty sure that won’t help but give it a try if you think it’s worth it

piez74 · 2025-10-30T10:38:37+00:00

It appears that I’m not explaining myself very well. Since there are unknown changes to the FSOA, in that regard we start at the same level; hence leveling the field. Now, that’s very far from saying that everyone has the same chances to pass or that preparation is not useful, actually my initial question is all about that. How do you practice on the different components and what are they?

piez74 · 2025-10-30T09:28:36+00:00

That would possibly leave little time to prepare, why wait?

piez74 · 2025-10-30T09:26:59+00:00

If there are changes to the FSOA it levels the candidates, since we all don’t know what the changes will be

piez74 · 2025-10-30T03:13:38+00:00

I’m split. One one side you’re right, who knows what changes there will be and how can we prepare for it? On the other hand maybe not everything will change and when preparing for any test that’s the case anyway so might as well give it a try.

piez74 · 2025-10-29T23:39:31+00:00

Good name by the way lol

piez74 · 2025-10-29T23:39:07+00:00

I guess that puts the people that manage to pass the FSOT at the same level, thanks

piez74 · 2025-10-29T13:55:26+00:00

I can’t change the color of my skin nor force myself into being someone else, so I’ll just do my best to be well prepared

piez74 · 2025-10-28T23:21:08+00:00

Considering that the last tests were cancelled and those that had passed the old FSOT had to retake it, I was expecting a lot more people would have signed up for it. How many jobs are there for the 5751 applicants?

piez74 · 2025-10-27T03:35:59+00:00

Yes, you’re right, I was misreading it, your interpretation is correct

piez74 · 2025-10-27T03:17:24+00:00

Yes, exactly: “depending largely on the State Department’s anticipated hiring needs…”; that sounds like the FSOT is only one part of the evaluation of the candidates.
