Sorry I meant to post and just haven’t got around to it.
Math:
Looking at gouges will never do you any good IMO. Unless you’re apart if the 2% with photographic memory. I used the gouges to build a baseline.
With that baseline I wrote down on a separate piece of paper the different topics I found: Logs, properties of exponents, radicals, DRT…. Then I would pick one category a day and find YouTube videos, Google PDF worksheet Algebra II/College Algebra Properties of exponents. I would do at least 50 practice problems then go back to that sheet and write the date down I studied that category so I could organize and keep track of what I studied.
It’s all about practice and BEING ORGANIZED. Write the categories down and write the date next to each category everytime you studied the topic.
Reading
I focused on what I could take directly from the passage. If the answer included something not in the passage it can’t be right.
MECH:
This is how I felt I improved the most. My questions were getting very difficult but I studied the same for this. Took the gouges wrote down the topics:
Ex.
-Linear velocity 6/10, 6/13
-pulleys 6/4
-potential energy 6/5,6/7
-f=ma
- etc
YouTube, and google pdf worksheets on the topics
ANIT
I used Quizlet ANIT ASTB, and I also come from an aviation background so that helped as well.
PBM: it’s all eye hand coordination trick your mind into thinking your hand is connected to your eyes wherever your eyes move your hand moves! UAV don’t be too quick I was going so fast under 1.0 seconds the questions were loading on top of each other… got 2 wrong avg 1.2 sec
In summary:
Practice and organize. Don’t spend your time trying to memorize each question someone has posted on here. You won’t see them or you’ll see 1 maybe 2. I’ve taken the test 3 times each time it was different. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. Also practice DIFFICULT questions not easy questions so when you get to the test it feels easier!
Long time reader, first time poster, figured I'd start now and get involved...
I've taken the ASTB once before, scored 61 7/5/6 (Taking again next Tuesday). Looking to bump it up to be extra competitive. In NROTC, ME major, rising 2nd Class (rising Junior). Attached I've got the Popeye and Zhao ANIT written out along with a little extra info here and there. Curious if there is anything big that I got wrong or am missing (minus airport light, enlisted ratings, and current aircraft)? Got plenty of space for more. If there are any questions about what is on the board I am happy to help.
PS Sabatino (EE major) is my bff in NROTC who also wants aviation. Been through Barrons, FAA, Kyles, and just about any flash cards I could get my hands on. And the ASTB App is the bomb, especially the UAV portion.

Question regarding joystick controls for the PBM.
For vertical tracking, is it like normal flying where pulling the joystick towards you (aft) will lead to the target going up and pulling it down away from you (forward) will lead to the target going down.
or....
is it inverted where pushing forward moves target up and pulling towards you moves target down?
Thank you in advance.

Pulling the joystick back makes the target go up, and pushing forward makes the target go down.
Hello, I was able to find Kyle and Gomez drives and I wanted to know which I should focus most of my attention on. I plan on checking out both but from the get-go, which seems to bear the most fruit? I'm planning on beginning my study for the ASTB and I'd like to focus on things that will actually matter on the exam. ( I was also able to find other useful links in this forum such as flashcards and simulators.)
For the ASTB app, I have an android so with this be the one? :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=astb.astb.astbprep
Yes thats the app.
I haven’t taken the ASTB yet, but everyone recommends Kyle’s guide. The math on the ASTB prep app is good for building your basics, but definitely do the problems in Kyle’s guide. The ANIT and Mechanical sections in the ASTB app are solid and the UAV simulator is first class.

Thank you for the clarification, I'll keep that in mind then.
Ok got it and yeah I got to just go ahead and do, no point in over complicating things

It’s only as hard as you make it, build your mind and skill set you will see about half the problems/topics were not discussed on here and that’s where the reps take in to play. Write down a list of topics seen in the study guides go to YouTube type it in and watch lessons on those topics take notes, then do about 100 or so practice problems on the topic.
For ex. Probability (I know may seem easy but not on the test you will get thrown some weird probability problems)
YouTube it
Practice it 100 times. Done. Revisit 2 weeks from now
Thank you again for the advice, I really appreciate it.
