Utilitarian and useful

I passed with its help, so that's something. If you're interested in taking the test, this does a good job of preparing you for what to expect. It can't really teach to the test - the exam is much too broad, you pretty much have to know this stuff already through years of curious participation with the world - but there are a few things that it helps with, and just knowing more about what's coming helps. I found the practice tests in here tougher than the actual one - which is just what you want in a practice test.

Good for getting prepared

I find this book to have been usefull in preparing me to take the FSWE. It went over lots of different usefull questions. it covered alot of different areas.

What a terrific resource

I am currently preparing for a career with the U.S. State Department and found this guide indispensible. Not only does it provide test preparation for all three sections of the written exam but also provides valuable strategies to prepare for the Oral Assessment portion of the application process. In addition, it provides information about the various career paths available to prospective foreign service officers.
