Ahhh... I remember taking the FSWE a few years ago. I didn't pass but I did do well enough for them to encourage me to try again.
Did you have to take that test?

I applied to be a Foreign Service specialist, so the testing criteria is not as rigorous as it would be for Foreign Service officers. I had a 45-minute timed essay to write based on one of five given subjects, and then I had the one-hour interview, half of the questions tested me on whether I would be a good fit (not cause an international incident) and if I knew my technical stuff. I scored pretty high on both parts, so I'm hoping it's a short wait.
When I was researching how to get into the Foreign Service, I saw lots of stories of people who had to take that test more than once before they passed. I'm sure you'll do much better the next time around.
