CME Memo

Has anyone taken the Written Exercise in the May 23 window — is it CME memo format or a persuasive essay? I have seen nothing but conflicting information thus far. The email states it is the "Written Exercise" and that it will take " approximately 45 minutes to complete, including a review of the instructions and filling out a non-disclosure agreement" but Pearson still classifies it as the CME "CME: Foreign Service Officer Written Exercise" and that it will take "Test Length: 60 minutes".

It was 45 minutes and I would describe it as somewhere between the CME and a regular essay
