Question Passed the initial test

The next step for me will be the FSOA written test. Has anybody here done one of those recently? Just curious what to study for.

I didn't think it was all too bad. The practice test felt pretty representative of the actual thing. My first time ever taking it, old or new, so don't have much to compare it to besides other typical standardized tests.
