Where do the DSS Special Agent (DSSAT) terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the U.S. Department of State; Pearson VUE test delivery content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the DSSAT, and is it the Secret Service SAEE?
The Diplomatic Security Special Agent Test is the Department of State assessment delivered through Pearson VUE. It is distinct from the U.S. Secret Service SAEE. State identifies Job Knowledge, English Expression and Situational Judgment; this independent resource is not an official test form.
How many questions are there, and how long is the DSSAT?
The current public State and Pearson overview does not publish a question total, overall testing duration or area percentages. Follow the appointment instructions. The later 45-minute Written Test and approximately 90-minute Assessment are separate stages, not the DSSAT duration.
