For the mechanical section, I saw that people have said it is more concept-based, but there are still problems where you have to do calculations. Can anyone elaborate on this? What are the usual types of problems that are concept-based, and what are the usual type of problems that you would calculate? What formulas should I be very familiar with, and are the formulas provided?

For the simulator, what sensitivity did you put your HOTAS control on? If I'm practicing the hardest difficulty, my throttle doesn't keep up. But I want to be as close to the real test as possible

Hey all, quick question that came up during my studying. I've seen various versions of "what temperature does carb icing occur at?" and I've seen the correct answer listed as 40, 50, and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Does anybody know what the most correct answer is to this? Thanks

Hey ya'll so I have a question, I just took the ASBTE today and got a 54 6/6/6. Is that competitive for pilot along with a pretty solid package for the rest of my application? Also, do the marines have a flight program that takes the ASTBE results that I've already taken or not?

Carb icing typically occurs between 20F and 70F (give or take) so I guess it really just depends on the question, and what your other options are. Most questions on carb icing I’ve seen ask for the range of temps which are most favorable for the formation of carb ice

Take it from me. If you study this book night and day before you take your ASTB-E, you will be a Student Naval Aviator. Work hard, believe in yourself, study hard, and flash card until you can't anymore.

What's your GPA? 3.3 GPA, 58/6/7/7 ASTB is considered competitive. And yes the marines take ASTB results

I will back this up and say that Barron’s is a pretty solid book for preparing for the test. I would also suggest brushing up on exponent and probability questions for the math section
