Would you all have any guidance on the Foreign Service test Prep?

Hey everyone! Thanks to all the emails checking up on me! I am super well! Just busy with TDYs and opstempo. :)

I am looking into taking the Foreign Service test to start prepping the battlefield for the high holy day of hanging up my stripes ((sobbing shamelessly)). :)

Any guidance on the best test prep? I took the practice exam and I am not ashamed to say that I am a big geek and did pretty well, but keeping with geekdom, I want to crush it.

Thanks RP fam!

The state department actually offers a practice test that simulates the actual FSOT in terms of types of questions, test length, and administration. According to the State Department the score you receive on this practice test will predict your score on the actual with good probability. I am providing a link below. Good luck on your test ma'am.

This is a link to the State Department on what they think is a good way to study.
