Can anyone who has taken the ASTB recently tell me if they were allowed to have scratch paper during the UAV portion? I've seen numerous conflicting answers online lol... Was hoping someone who just took it could give me a solid answer.
You have scratch paper through the entire test in my experience. Do the UAV trick, and you will not miss any. Easy 100% in my opinion.
 
Took my first ASTB attempt today, 63 7/5/6. Not too happy with my scores, my PFAR specifically since I'm shooting for SNA. I will definitely be retaking it in 31 days and continuing to shoot for the first FY22 board. The one thing I will note for future takers is that the PBM section really messed me up. Idk if my headphones were messed up or what but I really messed up the dichotic listening, maybe got 50% right at the most. Also if using the simulator that's been posted here many times, make sure to up the speed quite a bit, since the default setting is much slower than the test especially as you get into the higher difficulties. Will be buying the joystick that was recommended above and practicing the PBM section as best I can before the next attempt. As for the other sections I believe I did fairly well, and if you pretty much follow all the other postings and you should be fine.

I remember thinking "it can't be this easy" during the test. Originally thought I got them all wrong. Haha.
I know right, the UAV portion was pretty nice... On the flying portion I thought I was doing god awful... got very discouraged but pushed through, turns out I did much better than I thought haha

In regards to practicing the simulator for PFAR, does anyone have any advice on what scores to shoot for on the simulator?

Trying to get a gauge of how well I'm doing before I retake the test.

Are you referring to the online simulator that’s been floating around the forum?
