• Has anyone taken the AFOQT @ an ROTC Detachment?

      If so, how do you schedule the test?

      • @D.J. I had initially scheduled mine at a local ROTC detachment, but ended up going with a Pearson Vue testing center instead. All I did was look up the test coordinator for that school’s ROTC program (Cornell in my case) and I called them to schedule an appointment. The reason I didn’t end up taking it at the ROTC detachment was because they only offered it twice a year, and that didn’t quite align with my timeline. Hope this helps!

        • Semi related but do you already have to be in OTS or have a packet submitted to be able to register for the exam? Still in very early stages so just curious thanks y’all

          • @Liem for me that wasn’t the case. I never participated in ROTC and I am merely a civilian off the streets. The AFOQT is a prerequisite to apply for OTS, therefore if you are signing up to take it you do not already have to be in OTS.

            • @Allen Hey Allen, appreciate the quick response, I’m also coming from the civilian side so I will shift my focus to study for the AFOQT before commissioning.

          • @D.J., I had a similar experience to Allen’s. I reached out to every Detachment along the Front Range in Colorado and Wyoming, using any contact information I could find on their websites. The main challenge is that many detachments only offer testing at the beginning of each semester so timing is critical. Additionally, a few schools limited testing to cadets enrolled at their institution.

            As with much of this process, it seems essential to cast a wide net and find someone willing to assist. In my case, I was only able to schedule the test after an ROTC Captain in South Dakota referred me to someone in Wyoming, who then connected me with a contact in Colorado. Thankfully, the referral worked out, but it is quite surprising how difficult it can be to get a test scheduled.
