  I PASSED THE FOREIGN SERVICE EXAM!!! !&nbsp; WOOHOOO!!!! Well,&nbsp;what I passed&nbsp;is the written part.&nbsp; The exam is split into two sections.&nbsp; The first, the written exam, takes all day and is includes world knowledge, US goverment knowledge, English comprehension, a personality exam, and an essay portion.&nbsp; This whittles the 18,000 candidates that took the exam down to 6,000.&nbsp; The 6,000 then take an oral exam that lasts all day.&nbsp; Of the 6,000 there are five hundred places in the Foreign Service&nbsp;available.
The chances of passing the first part are 33%, or 1 in 3.&nbsp; The chances of me passing the orals are 8%, or 1 in 12.&nbsp; Soooo, it is a bit harder, but I am stoked I got this far.&nbsp; It is kind of an SFS dream, I just can't believe I did it! !&nbsp; Not sure I am going to actually do it, but I am going to see how far I can get!&nbsp;
