It was 2.5 weeks for me about a decade ago for a 0391 job with them. I know that you're excited about your possible prospects but be warned about that place.
The first words of advice from my manager during lunch on my first day were, "Be careful. The FBI eats their own."
The place is brutal. I lasted 2.5 years.
An example of how brutal that they can be. https://ecf.ctd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2017cv1541-58

My condolences for getting a job there.
Remember this one thing. Not all govt agencies suck as bad as the FBI does. Trust me. Get your 52 weeks in and look for another job in another agency.

I was a telecommunications specialist. I was responsible for the electronics surveillance program of a field office. And I know everyone in the below lawsuit from my former coworker. And he won his case a couple of weeks ago. The DoJ settled out of court a day before jury selection was to begin.

The FBI is a horror show to work for. Management has no clue on how to manage. Fortunately, there are a few people in key places that keep that agency from falling apart. If the American public knew how bad that the FBI was, the general public wouldn't trust the FBI to find a lost dog.
And here was the story of the EEO complaint that led to the above lawsuit from former Electronics Technician Montoya.
