I passed the FSOT this evening. I'd watched 3/4 of this video beforehand; it helped.
@stlizzy Any updates? Did you make it to the register or receive a placement? Congrats 🎉
Hi Bill, I passed the FSOT yesterday and just wanted to say thanks for these videos. Not only did they help me understand what I was up against, but they also encouraged me to just take the test. Best wishes to you and thanks again!
@bialekchannel Any updates? Did you make it to the register or receive a placement? Congrats 🎉
Thank you so much for making this series, Bill. I was able to improve my Situational Judgment score by 17 points from the last time I took the test because of your advice.
Congratulations!
I passed the FSOT today with a combined score of 164, oweing much thanks to your insightful lessons on the SJ section. Thank you very much!
Fingers crossed I’ll make it into the final round. And I’m staying hopeful.
How far did you get into the hiring process?.. Also, was the test difficult?
Taking the test in a month! Thank you for making this!
How'd you do?
@@jibrin2294 Passed on my first try. Including this section. Think this video was the best prep for the situational judgment test that I saw.
@@peterdelle1436Any updates? Were you able to get a placement on the register and begin time in Service since the test?
Thanks for your video. I've taken and passed the FSOT four times, but the last time was in 2014. I'm taking it again in June, and your video has been helpful. For example, I'm now aware that I will also need to choose the worse answer, which will be new for me.
Thank you for this video as there is not a lot of info on situational judgement.
Good luck
thank you for this video, I took the test for the 5th time last year and was kind of blindsided by the situational judgment section and scored very low on it. Hopefully this next go in June will go better!
took the test again, passed, but....bombed the situational judgement part. only got a 33 on it. its tough
mackiechang Good luck getting past that part. Have lots of hope if you got through the main test. I still have a few years until I’ll have to take it
@@mackiechang Good luck this year bro, let us know it turns out.
@@asifkhancan Still taking it. Did really well on the test in 2021, but didn't get past the QEP. Hopefully I pass again this time and get further with better narratives
@@mackiechangHow did things go? Did you end up making in the register…all the best of luck. Persistence is key 🎉
So interesting observation to contrast the video:
I took the FSOT test in June 2019 and the SJ scenarios focused largely (maybe even exclusively, if I can recall) on management, NOT customer service. Every scenario involved you and at least one other person who was your boss, supervisor, coworker, colleague, etc.
Can you please elaborate for us to understand it better. In this way, it will help us understand the concept better and score better on the test.
Thanks for your perspective and tips, I'll take this knowledge into the test in October!
How did things go?
Excellent video. Thank you for making this. I really appreciate your insight into how to handle this section of the exam.
Do you have any videos on the English Expression section? I tried looking for it but couldn't find it though.
Thanks for the candid explanation. I have been trying to figure out a good way of studying for the Situational Judgment section. This helps.
Thank you! Could do a video on the English section?
Congratulations. That's great news
Thank you so much for this help. On to your website!!
Good luck.
sorry, I'm changing web hosts. I'm working on it. Thx
I'm trying to find the answers to the situational judgment to which you referred in the video. Can anyone help with this?
Thank you!
Watch the video at 1.25 speed. You're welcome.
Thank you for this!
isn't it worse to keep the status quo than automatically go to your boss then?
Thank you.
Can't access your website.
Do you need a bachelors degree? If I have a diploma, would I still be fr-5 after a year of working?
You do not need a degree. People are sometimes hired with just a high school diploma, as long as they can prove their work and life experiences can quialify them to be a good productive FSO, then they have a chance.
Also, depending on your performance during your first few years, you may or may not get tenure and a pay raise. Your starting pay is affected by experience though.
@@mrAZcardinal Thank you, do you know if they do as physical fitness test? If yes, do you know which exercises and how many reps they require?
