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.

I am actively working out just thought it was weird that I started my packet 4 months ago and it had never been brought up until I asked my recruiter today if I had to take one and he said yes but thanks for the insight!

Your first official PRT won't be until you get to Newport, but a lot of recruiters like to make sure you're actively working out and seeing how far your progress is. Like if you can only do 10 pushups and plank for 1 minute... they're gonna wanna see some progress before they ship you.

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!!

It sounds like you may have already gotten your answer, but I just want to point something out. If you don't feel strong in your math, you should be focusing on the fundamentals and the types of problems you've already seen in these study guides, not on the most difficult problems that others have seen. Unless you significantly improve before taking the test, you likely won't see many (or any) problems with matrices or logarithms, so you shouldn't waste too much time on them.

On the ASTB I received :
OAR 49
AQR 5
PFAR 6
FOFAR 5

I have a 3.5 GPA in accounting should this be competitive for SNA?

The OAR is okayish but if it was me i would give it another try. What did your recruiter say? I would shoot for at least 6 for the AQR,PFAR,FOFAR because those are the ones they care about. GPA Is good!

yeah man like someone said already....your scores are above the min, but typically, to be competitive you'd need 7s or more.....given that you need to wait to retake the ASTB, I'd say apply, KEEP STUDYING, and then if you don't get picked up, retake it and then reapply....doing it this way avoids this 6 month wait period you would normally wait before re applying in case of getting a rejection.

you could....still be picked up with your current scores.....people have gotten picked with mins before...is just rare

It was my last try, studied for about a month but the test kept restarting/stalling due to an update. and ended up lower scores then second try.
Recruiter said to try but didn't give an indication to chances. It was also noted that I couldn't take it a fourth time although the test was bugged and caused scores to be lowered.

The test restarting or glitching would not cause scores to be lower, when the test system "crashes" the time in test stops, and it is all based on how you answer as it is an adaptive test so it is not about how many questions you answer it is all about how you answer them.

I appreciate your insight and honestly that makes a lot more sense than simply just doing the difficult problems. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm little lost on a few questions that I can't seem to get the answers to online/guides:

-Which aircraft was converted to an air tanker during Desert Storm ?
-which aircraft was the first fighter with capability of escorting bombers over very long distances?
-Which aircraft was designed to target the hard to hear Russian subs?
-First attack aircraft used on a carrier?
-Which of these first escorted bombers into enemy territory?

Thank you!
