if you're going for pilot, you would be better served going for 9s on the aviation portion of the test. a 68 OAR would be a nice to have if you rock the aviation scores.

What @NevarYalnal is basically saying and is right about, is that the ASTB is way more important than the OAR number so don't worry so much about the OAR. Focus on the PBM. Lightly review the others sections if you've taken it before but don't waste too much time on it, especially if you've been studying a lot.
A 68 OAR isn't going to help you any more for getting selected than a 50. The difference between a 6-7 ASTB range and an 8-9 ASTB range is dramatically different and is primarily what the board cares about.
Hi all,
Just scored a 66/9/9/9. Background in mechanical engineering. Currently getting PPL (~12 hours in). Thank you to everyone who has posted here. It helped tremendously in my studies. I studied for about 2 weeks but luckily for me a lot overlapped/was review from private pilot ground school as well as the math/mechanical knowledge from college.
I mainly used the Barron's book, which I felt helped me be prepared for both the reading comprehension and mechanical comprehension, as well as some of the ANIT. I don't think it adequately prepared me for the math. I mainly used the UAV flashcards and PBM trainer below for the PBM portion, which prepared me about as well as I felt I could be. Here are all the resources I used which are basically just a compilation of this thread:

was there anything wrong with the system you took the test on? because those are the scores you'd get if you literally didn't answer anything

My test did crash like twice I was shocked too unless there was a submit button that I didn't hit on the exam

As far as my score I'm in the same boat that I don't even want to mention. All we can do is adapt and overcome. I'll be retaking mine soon. Anyway here's Kyle's study kit if you don't already has it that has ANIT. Hope this helps.

So this jantzen and mike's ASTB trainer I'm averaging around 56 for my stick and like 68-70 for my throttle what should I be shooting for also thank you this one was a god send thank you hfuruta! And thank you Oshun8235 for the Kyle Google doc! https://jantzenx.github.io/ASTB/
I was averaging in the 50s for the mid-high difficulty with the listening. The listening, as well as transitioning to the stick and throttle on the actual test makes it feel much harder. For the listening portion of the test, they say which ear to listen to, then a string of numbers and letters in that ear. If you can do it on the ASTB trainer for like a minute or two on the med-high difficulty and get the listening close to 100% you should be good to go.

Cool cool I am working just on getting accustomed to the wonky non inverted controls but I am definitely keeping that in mind I guess I'll be doing that part later on tomorrow! Again can't thank you enough!
