ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS
Access the link to the exam below.
After a brief questionnaire on preparation, the FSOT online practice test will begin as soon as you access the link. Each of the three sections will require 35-45 minutes for a total of 115 minutes. Each section is timed similarly to the actual FSOT, and the timer cannot be stopped once you begin, so please allocate sufficient uninterrupted time to take the test.
There is no help desk service provided with this computer application, although there is a help page with technical information and an e-mail address to report technical problems.
After you complete the test, your scores will be displayed along with the correct answers compared to your answers. A high score on the practice test is not a guarantee of a high score on the FSOT itself, but the higher you score on the practice FSOT, the greater your likelihood of moving on to the next phase of the Foreign Service assessment process.
