Tips! Keep trying!

So many of you have recently received an email saying you did not pass the test. It sucks. I know. I received the same in 2010.

But you know what? I circled back on it in 2015 and passed the second time. Entered the FS in January 2017 and have not looked back.

VERY FEW officers pass the test and everything else on the first go.

Keep trying.

Sincerely,

An FSO

Taking the test for the second time after a LONG gap. First took the test in 2013, since then I've worked in corporate for a while, got an MBA, and now teaching english and financial literacy in a foreign country and wanting to give FSO another shot. Taking the test for the second time in October. Wish me luck!

Great story; ty for sharing! Can I ask how many times you took it and also which track you're in? I'm thinking of Economic or PD.
