I took my ASTB on November 6th of this year and just received my scores: 8/8/8/65. I am beyond happy with those scores.
I wanted to give my opinion to future test takers, on what I thought helped me during the studying process: first off, I began "studying" about 2 months ahead of the test. I simply collected as much information and studying material as I could and then reviewed bits and pieces every day. About a week-and-a-half before the test date, I started hitting the material hard. Took off work a couple days to immerse myself in the things I didn't fully understand and to solidify the information I thought I already knew. I thought these studying habits worked very well for myself. I bought 3 books that I thought were all helpful: ARCO's "Master the Office Candidate Tests (7th edition)", Barron's "Military Flight Aptitude Tests (2nd edition)", and Peterson's "Master the Military Flight Aptitude Test (7th edition)". All of these were great books. However, Barron's book was, in my opinion, the best. Regardless, the books are of the utmost importance in order to get a number of practice tests under your belt before the big day. If you don't want to spend the money then ARCO has a free website with a practice test: http://www.nelnetsolutions.com/dod/default.aspx?refURL=http://marinegouge.com/mediawiki-1.17.0/index.php?title=Aviation_Selection_Test_Battery.
After the books and practice tests, what you need to do is to scour this website (especially) and other websites for ASTB gouge. Print off as much as you can and review it and study it as much as possible. Lastly, here are a few more links that may help get you started:

Nice job...I'd say you nailed it. Great feedback as to what to study (as well as citing sources). I'm certain those behind you will reap the benefits.
Now you can update your profile....

Just got a 7/8/9 60 on my ASTB first attempt and Form 3. I guess it doesn't really matter though with the test changing. I have a 3.07 in Physics and I am in NROTC. A couple of questions. I want SNA but I'm wondering how much weight they put into that FOFAR score when going into service assignment. I want to put Pilot, NFO,... Any thoughts or ideas about how the system works for my scenario?
Second question is that I've heard that the number of pilots selected in this last Service assignment was a little low. Does that mean we should have a big year next year or is there any kind of pattern on this?

Scores look just fine to me.
Dear hopeful, there may be worrisome situations during your journey toward gold wings... but those scores are not one of them. Needless worry induces stress, and erodes performance both in the classroom, and in the air. Try building confidence... it works wonders.
P.S. Most applicants would sell their souls to Lucifer for those numbers!

I'm getting ready to submit to FY 14 rolling boards and wanted to hear your guys input.
B.S. in Intelligence from
Mercyhurst university.
GPA: 2.53
OAR: 51
AQR: 6
PFAR: 7
FOFAR: 6
Age: 22
H/W: 5'9" 165lbs
SNA, SNFO, SWO, and Intel in that order.
I come from a navy background (my dad was in for 11 and my mom was in for 6). I know my GPA isn't the greatest so don't bash me to hard on that but it's not like I received a social work degree either. I'm relatively physically fit and try to run between 5-6 miles a day.

No bashing on GPA, you appear to be aware of that impediment, it's like runway behind you/altitude above....
You make no mention of LORs, leadership experience, jobs held, volunteerism, etc. Any other achievements? To overcome the GPA (and low to average ASTB), you will have to "bomb" the rest of your package to be at all competitive.
I would say that your best chance would be SWO, IMHO!
Beef up that package the best you can... submit, and most of all stay positive. Good luck!

7/8/7 63 with a 2.5 (so far, junior 1st semester) in Chemistry, NROTC, Student government, and SL, PS billets within ROTC. Will the GPA impede a SNA flight guarantee from the Marine Corps?
I know I'm a little late on this one, but in case anyone is still wondering, the least amount of G's is felt at the top of the loop (in fact, if you level off a bit at the top to even it out, you could hit zero G), and the most amount of G's at the bottom, at the very beginning and end of the maneuver where airspeed is highest.
