Long time lurker, first time poster but i would just like to say that the amount of gouge on here is incredible. I was looking around and I had found this from a post in 2016 and I figured this might be a valuable tool for anyone looking for more practice. It is a Peterson's online practice ASTB-E found here: http://www.petersonspublishing.com/OfficerCandidate It is 100% free and it gives you access for a year. It will give you a mock online ASTB practice test that's timed and everything. It is pre UAV section however so some off the info may be dated and as usual take it with a grain of salt.

I just made an account and tried it out and it still works!
All credit goes to: joel794613 who i don't believe is around anymore but credit where credit is due I suppose.

Thanks for everyone contributing thus far, and i wish all of you the best of luck!

Hello again everyone,

Would someone please help me understand how to solve this problem.. this is on Carlos Miros Oar math practice guide, #25..

1) If the tax rate is 3 1/2% and the amount to be raised is $6440, what is the base?

* I see that they got .035 on the worksheet to solve the problem .. but when converting the fractional percentage into a decimal I got 350. I’m totally lost.. someone please tell me where I’m wrong.

Thanks!

So, there is a trick with questions like this. For example you can do X(0.035) = 6440. When you take 0.035 to the other side of the = then you divide 6440/0.035, you will get 184,000. Email me for some links to learn these.

Assume the probability of having a boy is 50% and a girl is 50%. If a family has four children,
what is the probability the family has at least two girls?

ASTB looks pretty good, but if you end up not getting picked up, you can blame your GPA.

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you prepare for the OAR?

I've always loved maths and been good at it, so that helped. The biggest thing for me was I got myself lots of practice for the MCT (Maths), RCT (Reading) and MST (Physics).

You didn't ask about my flight sections, but I know if I had used the compass method for the UAV test my FOAR would have been up.
If I had been more relaxed with the listening and flight simulator I would have gotten better pilot scores. I tried so hard to keep my target on the plane so it would be green, but it just shot out so fast right after. Your best bet would be to not touch the plane keeping your target red but stay close to it, that way the plane moves slower and it's a hell of a lot easier to track. I wish I would've done that, probably would have got 9s that way.

Oh yeah, obviously right down the emergency instructions for the last test!!
