Re: FSO Foreign Service Officer Exam?

I am an undergrad student majoring in International Relations. I have 2 q's about the FSO exam. First of all, if I take it and fail, will that be held against me if I apply the next year? Also, I am thinking of taking the test this summer (not yet obtained my degree). I know the pay scale is higher with a degree, but how can I find exactly how much? I found one pay scale chart on the State Dept. website, but it just gives the G ratings, but I couldn't find any explanation of how they determine their ratings. 1)) How would pay differ having a 4 year degree, from not having a degree? . I do have travel and business experience. Any advice or suggestions would be helpful. I have scanned every inch of the State dept. website, so please don't just send me a link to their homepage. I do know about the study guide as well. Thanks to all!

If you have a BA and 0 years experience you'll start at $42,576.
Then every year you move up a paygrade, so after
1 year - $43853
2 years - $45169
3 years - $46524
etc

If you don't have a BA, then you still start at $42,576, but you have to wait for 6 years until you start getting increases.

So you'll be getting paid $42,576 for the first 6 years, then $43,853 the 7th, $45169 the 8th etc.



Some of this is explained about half way down this page:
