    Is the Foreign Officer Test's job knowledge the same as the job knowledge on the OMST?
    What about English Expression, Situational Judgement, and policy?

  • @shilohmaz9769
    @shilohmaz9769 Год назад +1

    Great Video! I noticed you didn't mention anything about Job Knowledge? I've enrolled in Mometrix like you did but don't know if it's worth spending time studying if I'm not going for FSOT.

    • @timothyrglenn9545
      @timothyrglenn9545  Год назад +1

      Good point! And you’re right that job knowledge is a section in this exam; however, the situational judgement and grammatical errors questions kind of fall under the umbrella of job knowledge for OMST, if that makes sense. As for FSOT & Mometrix, I’d say it’s worth it unless you know of a better resource or heard of one.

      @timothyrglenn9545  Год назад

      My pleasure! To answer your question, it wasn’t difficult, it’s just time-consuming. It’s best to have your ducks in a row before you start the app: such as your resume and essay narratives. The system timed out on me while I was in the middle of writing an essay and I lost everything I typed into the system. So, that’s really the only difficult thing.

      Don't be nervous. The test was honestly not that difficult. Its a lot of common sense questions. However, I suggest you do the practice tests available on Mometrix to familiarize yourself with the kinds of questions that are asked on the test. Do this, and you'll be fine.

    Its (without an apostrophe) is the possessive form of it, so it means “belonging to it.” “The cat ate its food.”
    It's (with an apostrophe) is a contraction (shortened form) of it is or it has. “It's almost Christmas.”
