UAV portion is still there, much much easier imo but they are both similar, just imagine the UAV portion just a google map. Don't stress the terrain one, I didn't prepare for it at all and still did decent, I think. Let me get some pictures to sample what a question would look like and that can help explain. What I did was compare the reference picture and UAV sight picture then take my mouse and "draw" a line on the reference picture where the top of the UAV sight picture was then click the compass rose in the bottom to point the same direction. Not sure if I did a good job explaining if not just tell me and I'll figure out a better way.
I forgot exactly how many questions, I want to say 16-18.

So the same concept applies and if I am correct they give you a practice before the test correct?

Maybe this could be a new thing @TwoScoops could add to the app?

Lol how soon can @TwoScoops add it I take the test on Wednesday morning
Same concept just instead of the UAV telling you what way you're heading you figure that out. Yes they give you practice.

Based on the picture given. For example:
You can practice it here. The only difference is that the building you need to select is told to you audibly, which I found easier than visually.
Edit: apologies, I didn't see that there is brand new subsection. I'll leave my comment if anyone wants to practice the UAV section.
So for this example, would the answer be "West?"
It should be East, the top of the UAV sight picture is the direction in which it is heading.
Would be neat to see this implemented on the app. Seems very possible to do, although I am no app designer.
Oh wait, I think I see it. The heading was southward, meaning the view of the bottom would be to the east.
Just got out of my second of my second ASTB atempt:
OAR: 56
AQR: 8
PFAR: 9
FOFAR: 9
LPSS: 68
Went to this from a 5-5-6 on my last attempt (just burned an attempt to get an idea what the test was like). I studied about 100+ hours for this test and used the AirWarrior threads to my advantage. I studied all the resources on this reddit post: . I made flashcards for literally everything on these documents and memorized it to a tee. Took me about two months. I also bought a X-52 and practiced the Janzten Sim on Hard until I could get a combined throttle and stick score of -250. I was hitting 220s by the time I took the test. This will make the actual sim seem like babyfood. I also took a look at the Barron's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Military-Flight-Aptitude-Tests/dp/1438005695 This has some really good physics questions and math questions. I also used the cram flashcards: https://www.cram.com/flashcards/astb-aviation-nautical-information-test-anit-comprehensive-4718163 The biggest thing I did study was stuff for the ANIT and practiced the shit out of the sim. I didn't bother studying for the reading section at all because its a waste of time in my opinion.
I'm a senior MIDN at the Merchant Marine Academy and will be submitting my package to the navy early next month. I have a 3.0 GPA and don't play any sports. I'm in a running club and also have about 12 hours on my PPL. Hopefully my new score and the fact that I'm applying from a service academy will get me a spot. GOOD LUCK YALL!!!!
