SNA or SNFO. I'm NROTC so scores aren't as big of a deal. Pretty sure they are good enough to pick up, I'm not sure if its a pass-fail style thing or higher scores actually help beyond 4 5 5 so I probably wont take again.
I got the same scores as you basically and i got picked up. 68 7 8 7 i think

Hey guys, so I'm not amazing at math, but hopefully by the time my test date comes (June 20th) I should be decent. So for people who feel they did good on the math portion of the test, if you remember, what were some of the hardest problem types you came across? Would the 100+ questions, Peterson tests, and Barron's math tests be enough for me? Or should I find other resources. I appreciate any help, thank you!!

I seem to be the outlier but the hardest math question i had was matrix math(albeit an easy one) but most of it was algebra with some basic trig and algebra two sprinkled in here and there. I was an engineering major so that may have contributed to it. Most of the test was algebra or word problems. I used barons and some of Kevins Drive(somewhere in this thread) and got a 60 on the OAR.

Ah, so they give you questions based off of your major? I know it's adaptive. When you say Algebra 2, I assume you mean logs and what not right? I appreciate the answer by the way.

it's not based off your major it's based off your performance in the test. the more questions you get right the harder it gets. don't sweat it if the test ends early for any particular section either, it just means the test has decided it has figured out your mastery level of that subject and additional questions are not necessary.

Yeah its adaptive so i assume it could get harder. IIRC there was quadratics, some simple radicals(which i forgot how to do lol) and some probability. Nothing you cant do on a piece of paper and some mental math. Happy to help

Could someone explain this? Why does Pulley 4 spin faster than 3? Would 3 spin faster than 4? Since 3 is smaller?
this is the one fucking flashcard I could not figure out....the answer makes no sense to me...and I was glad it didn't show up won my test......if you understand most pulley problems and you get them right, I'd just move on, otherwise you'll go nuts. study pulleys mixed with springs....I had that on my test

You have an example of the pulleys mixed with springs ?

unless you're applying for SEALs you don't need a PRT

No you dont, but you should be actively working out. While waiting for your ship date you may do COP(commissioning officer program), which for my group is a monthly meeting where we go through the PRT and they track our progress. Its pretty relaxed and fun to hang out with everyone.

If you need workout ideas, it was recommended to me by a recent grad to do HIITS.
