Welcome to the FSOT (formerly the FSWE) YahooGroup! This group is for those who are planning to take the U.S. Foreign Service Officer Test (FSOT), focusing primarily on the written exam. Those who have taken the exam are encouraged to subscribe and share your knowledge of the process. You can find the official State Department guide to the FSOT here (please note this is a PDF file).

We've got plenty of info to help you navigate the site, complete required forms, and support you in preparation.

Please review the Links and Files sections on the left.

Search the archives, as many common questions and concerns have been addressed already. Much of this information may not be repeated. Use the Polls function to participate in interesting fact gathering activity.

Most importantly, perhaps, please check out the FSWE Essentials.

See the scoring polls and database for information from previous exams.

For additional information about what to expect after the exam, please take a look at our sister FSOA Group.

Thanks for participating,
Group Moderators
