@hammer8 Great question! The Pilot score is undoubtedly the most crucial score. (The golden rule is to try and get a 90+.) Most squadrons heavily weigh it when selecting interviews, and it goes into the PCSM equation.

That said, I still think it’s important to score relatively well on the rest of the sections. Units will examine your scores as a whole, and while they primarily emphasize the pilot section, a low score somewhere else could be a black eye on your application.

I usually tell people to aim for getting no lower than a 70 on any score (80s/90s across the board preferred!)

Hope this helps!

Hey Matthew, I’ll pile on a bit to CHAOS’ great answer! Everything he said above is absolutely correct, definitely take the time to study each section. It is almost a unit by unit on what they want for other scores but if applications start getting close then they can start using other scores to narrow the playing field. One thing to note as well, you can take the AFOQT up to 2 times, or a 3rd with a waiver with “significant” education (think failed it in high school not but I have a college degree noe type) with that being said, as of now they super score so if you take it twice only your best scores from each will be taken to make one output score. Always plan on striving to crush it the first time but it gives you great capability to help boost your score after. Cheers!
