The exam that put ‘straight A student’ Meghan Markle in her place: After an internship in Argentina she thought she was destined for a career in the US diplomatic service… but failed the exam – so could YOU pass it?

After failing the exam, Meghan flew to Madrid to take a six-week course in Spanish at the International Education for Students programme.
This added a string to her bow just in case she wanted to give the world of diplomacy another try later in life.
When Meghan returned to Northwestern University, she was able to brag to her friends with stories of tapas and tangos and tried to brush off her disappointment at missing the mark on her Foreign Service Officer Test.
But it seems failing the test left its mark on the young Meghan and she never again tried to get into the diplomatic service.
However, she had other career options and managed to get her first speaking acting role after her father Thomas pulled strings and put her forward for a ‘day player’ role with five lines in US soap opera General Hospital.
