This group is for those who are preparing for the Foreign Service Oral Assessment (FSOA).

Our sister group, provides information on the Foreign Service Written Exam (FSWE).

Those who have or will be taking the FSOA are encouraged to subscribe and share your knowledge of the process.

To the left are navigational links to assets on this board. Good starting points are the FAQs and the message archives. Most questions have been addressed and are in the archives, but a few gems are there only once.

Be sure to review the Links and Files sections.

Use the Calendar function to post your FSOA Date and Location.

Use the Polls function to participate in interesting fact gathering activity.

This is a very supportive group. If you have questions, please ask!
