I never used the Jantzen sim, just the prep app. I would assume the Jantzen sim prepares you just as well though for the tracking portion though.

Yeah, I think either one works. I used mostly Jantz and did well on the exam. Others mostly used the prep app and did well too.

Would you guy say that the actual math portion is more word problem based or “simplify/solve the expression” type? Also, on Gomez’s drive, which of the practice test best simulates the real ASTB?

The exam is a mix of both. Word problems often probability based(card decks) and general arithmetic reasoning. Square roots and some geometry are expected also. Rather than what practice test is best go ahead and sort through them all and see what you don't know.

A strategy I've used recently is to plug the question in into chatgpt. IF the questions include shape diagrams such as triangles this method doesn't work at least for me. Have chatgpt you through the problem. Then have chatgpt generate more similar problems to the original question. This gives you the reps necessary to become familiar with the concept if asked in a similar way on the test. Additioanlly you can ask Chatgpt what this concept is called then either research the concept on youtube to gain greater familiarity with the concept, and use Khan Academy if desired.

Yup, use AI to your advantage; I used Grok to understand a multitude of concepts.

Also another note on memory.

The most efficient way to memorize something is overdoing it. Incessant persistence towards a concept for example this case math relies on doing the problems even after you understand the concept. I've discovered this through my prep for this test. I can excel at concepts I haven't looked at so well because I overlearned them even when I knew the concept well enough. Applies to every aspect of learning.

Is the Jantzen sim harder or easier than the real thing? I do like that the option exists to practice, especially as I already have a HOTAS, but there’s different speeds, and settings to everything. What is realistic to the actual ASTB?
