Hello,

I am new to this forum. I have not taken the ASTB yet, but would like some guidance and other helpful pointers about prep books or study guides.
SWO is the route I am aiming to pursue.

Thank you,

These are my stats:

Age: 22
EDU: UCLA
Degree: Biology B.S.
GPA: 2.89
Applying SWO

Honestly bio major at UCLA, you took physics and way harder math than what's gonna be on the exam. And reading skills good enough from all the science papers you've probably read. Just browse this forum for OAR study guides (I used "Kyle's drive"). People have made google drives with everything you will need to study.

Also like someone else said you don't need the ASTB, that's if you're applying SNA/SNFO. OAR is the math, physics, reading portion.

Thank you for the reply. Where can I locate Kyle's drive?

Hello everyone, took the ASTB for the first time and got a 61 8/7/8. I am a Marine PLC applicant, so I am pretty happy with these scores. Shoutout to the ASTB Prep App, the Jantzen Simulator, as well as Kyle's Drive. The only thing I wish I would have studied more was FAA procedures since I had a couple of those questions on my ANIT. I am in Aerospace Engineering so I had a basic foundation of aviation knowledge, but the above 3 resources really helped out. Thanks everyone for their help in this forum!

What kinds of FAA procedures did you see on the test if you remember? About to take the test in two weeks and want to make sure I cover everything

Hey all, I've been browsing this thread for quite a bit but wanted to get a gouge on how important it is to know specific dates? Should I have all dates memorized on that Naval History quizlet? Thanks for any insight!

When I took it the first time I had no dates on my ANIT section, but it’s good to at least know them cause they could come up on yours maybe.

I had no dates on mine either but I also studied up a bit on it. Wouldn't worry too much about it but it's worth looking into

So I was able to find the checklist for OCS but I am having trouble finding the individual pages. Can anyone help me out with finding all of that?

Howdy, might be a dumb question but I’ve been reading up on the Intel board threads regarding oar scores, and I’m getting the impression that they’re used for “checking off a box” rather than an item the board weighs heavily. Is this a correct perspective?

After researching this on my own I just keep finding conflicting answers and spinning in circles. Thanks a ton

It just gets you to the board, your actual professional experience is what will get you selected.

Hello! A quick background; I am an enlisted E-6B Aircrewman, hoping to go NFO. I have 11 years in the aviation community and have a degree in Aeronautical Sciences from Embry-Riddle.

I decided to split up the OAR and the other portions of the ASTB so I could study each separately. Today I took the OAR and got a qualifying score.

I take the ANIT, Naval Aviation Trait Facet, and Performance-Based Measures portions of the test on November 17th. So I only have two weeks to study. I am prepared to study every day to hopefully earn 6's across the board. Can someone please tell me where I should focus most of my time on, or point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

You should try for at least 7 on FOFAR if you want to really have a chance to get selected, 6's are really hit and miss.
