• Some AFOQT gouge for everyone gearing up to crush the test!

      Took my AFOQT on 27 July, long story short, if you work with @Tutor-Gunboss , you WILL be ready!

      A few things of note during my test:

      We did not have scratch paper, we were provided with a spiral bound laminated grid paper, dry erase markers, and an eraser. This worked out great!

      Test began with gathering some basic demographic information. It then asked me to rank what part of the Air Force (Aviation, Special Operations, Logistics, etc) that I am most interested in. I selected Aviation first and Special Operations second. They then had me rank what I wanted to do in aviation (Fighters, Bombers, Helicopters, Mobility, CSO, ABM, RPA) I think based on how those two questions are answered, difficulty of certain subsections may be altered, especially instrument comp, mine had very few easy answers and tons of almost identical A-10s to select from.

      For the actual sub tests:

      Verbal analogies was not terribly difficult, but is worth studying for.

      My AR section was brutally difficult. There was a smaller formula sheet, mostly revolving around finding the areas of different geometric shapes, slope intercept, and that was about it. Maybe 8 different formulas.

      Word knowledge was not terribly difficult, but certainly worth studying.

      My Math Knowledge section was easier than AR, which I did not expect. There was many factoring questions, complex equations, and multi step equations. Gunboss will get you ready for this section!

      Reading comprehension was 24 minutes with the shorter passages.

      Both the self description inventory and the scenario judgment sections were rather long, but all you have to do is think and answer honestly. I was not able to return to the previous question on the self description inventory.

      Channel your inner mad scientist on the Physical Science section and you’ll be fine.

      Table reading goes fast! They show you the coordinates to find on the right side of the page and have the chart on the left, one set of coordinates at a time, this section can be blasted through accurately with a few practice sessions on paper. Nothing to dread if you give it a few timed practice runs!

      The instrument comprehension section was not easy on my test. I had multiple questions with nearly identical A-10s.

      Nothing too crazy in the block counting sub-test.

      Aviation information had a few aviation regulation questions, I did not have any about helicopters.

      Over all, not terrible, but most certainly not straightforward. MANY trap questions and a lot of extraneous information to sift through. Working with Gunboss helped me tremendously!

      Best of luck! Crush the AFOQT!

      I got my scores back: 96 Pilot, 70 CSO, 91 ABM, ACAD aptitude 47, Verbal 80, Quant 22. Fairly certain AR killed my score on that, so I highly recommend attacking AR HARD!
