Thanks....there's good info on the ANIT, but I haven't seen much on the PBM.....is that just the spatial apperception test plus the "flight simulator"? Do pilots do the UAV questions too?

There is no more spatial apperception. Now you just do the tracking with the stick and throttle. And yes you have to do the UAV. Be careful with those. 3 of those wrong resulted in a 6. For pilots they dont really look at that but try to be in the 7’s for the AQR AND PFAR.

Ah got it now (I think)...thx. So to sum up the new ASTB test....
Math Skills Test
Reading Comprehension Test
Mechanical Comprehension Test
PFAR --- which is ANIT & PBM (sim plus UAV)
NATFI (Traits)
BI-RV (Bio)
Is that correct?

The formula for the all of the scores are proprietary so we don’t know which tests heavily affect which score. They don’t do the BI-RV anymore.

took my 3rd and final ASTB (53 6/7/7) with hopes of being selected for pilot. Have a very low gpa of 2.4 so was wondering do I even have a punchers shot at being selected vs going back to school for a few semesters to boost gpa?

What did you get in the other two times?

What did you do differently the last time since your scores improved?
Honestly i was kinda disappointed my OAR score did not improve since I put alot more time in for studying algebra and time/speed word problems. For the rest I just practiced the UAV compass trick alot, only got 1 wrong on that part. As for the sticks, i did the peripheral trick, only focusing on the joystick and using the corner of my eye for the throttle (checking back in every 5 seconds or so). For the listening, i would remove the opposite headphone side quickly in between Right an Left ears. I found this to be more effective then titling my head to the side i should be listening to.
