When I started studying, looking at the aviation and mechanical study guides was like trying to learn a foreign language. Just review as much material as you can; all of the questions I got were simply concept based, with no calculations being required. Being able to learn and understand how something works, why it works, and how it’s used is necessary for the test, not intense memorization of formulas and that kind of thing.

Hello everyone,

I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between these two.

So on the first one, the North carpark would be A but on the one, with the map, the N carpark would be C and that's where I'm confused. How come the UAV is heading in the same direction they are different?

Please help!

seems like the only answer is that the UAV is not heading in the same direction, and that the yellow arrow on the right is actually indicating a South-East heading?

Their different. Its been a while since I've done this but from what I remember. The left one is pointing North west and the right picture is pointing south east. So that is why you get two different answers. I had to remember to use the compass trick lol

Just took the OAR and got 53. Very dissapointed given I studied for 2 weeks using Barron’s and another test prep book. The math section was basically the same as what I studied but the Reading and Mechanical Comprehension portions were significantly harder than what I had been practicing with.

My degree is a BA in Intelligence Analysis, 3.95 gpa. Looking to apply for 183X. Was told by the recruiter that my score was competitive and that I should submit but I don’t know…

I can retake the OAR in 30 days but the IWC Intel Proboard package is due Oct 7th. Assuming I retake, that would give me around 2 months to put together the OCS package.

In any case, I’m glad I know about this forum now. Would appreciate any insights as to whether or not I should just submit or retake.

no one will care about your OAR, submit.

Really? I thought OAR was weighted pretty heavily. Excuse me if I’m wrong on this, I don’t know much about the inner machinations of the board process or how different aspects of a package are considered against each other.

They’re not heading the same direction. The small end of the yellow triangle is the direction you’re heading. So the second one is heading southeast.

That doesn't sound correct at all. 1 is B and 2 is D.

Hello Everyone,
So I got a 51 6/6/6 on my ASTB (first attempt) and was considering retaking the test from reading through some forums and excel docs.

My question is, would it be smarter to just go ahead and apply before a retake and risk the likely no but still have two more applications and tests left after this one? If I do retake the test without applying this would mean I only have one application and test left if I did get a no, is that correct?
Thanks

Are you applying SNA or NFO?
