Summary: Use the Study Guide from State Department
Comment: Not sure you need any guide at all, as it is mostly intuitive.

If you need help passing the test, you would be better served using the official study guide. It is cheap and updated annually.

Best of luck!!

Summary: Full of typos
Comment: I take the exam tomorrow, so I don't know how relevant the questions are yet, but I am shocked by the number of typos that the book has. The book is full of misspellings, answers that don't match questions, and some very strangely worded questions. It's a shame that the only study guide for this test is so poorly edited.

Summary: A mess!
Comment: I used a similar book 2 years ago and passed written exam with ease. Too bad I cannot find it because this book is a disaster. Lots of questions without explanations - like charts - answer key mistakes that conflict with their explanation, etc... The English expression section is not even in the same neighborhood as what the State Dept's own literature illustrates.

There are other agency's in the government that have Foreign Service Officers, or their equivalent, with no test requirements, including Agriculture, USAID, Peace Corp, Commerce, etc... Also there are ways of converting from Civil Service to Foreign Service or coming on as a Specialist. These options are all worth looking into if this is where your interests are.
