14. They couldn't make it past the first three questions.

I have a degree in politics and am a huge history and politics buff. I just took an online sample of the multiple choice portion of the FSOT. I got 9 out of the 15 questions correct. Not remotely a passing score.

Of the 9 I got correct, I flat out guessed at 3 of them and used process of elimination for 2 more.

I know people who have taken the FSOT and the bar exam. All of them said the bar was easier and less stressful.

Here's the sample exam I reference above if anyone is interested. https://www.mometrix.com/academy/fsot-practice-test/

ETA for the curious: The exam is just the beginning of the process of becoming a FSO. If you pass that, then you have to submit a personal narrative and if they like that then you go in for an oral assessment, then medical and security clearance, then a suitability review panel....
