Congratulations!!!! 👏 🔥

Thank you very much! The MST wasn't too bad I got a lot of algebraic questions, a few probability questions, and also some complex word problems. There were a few questions I had no idea how to solve but was able to make a semi-educated guess based on the list of answers provided, the biggest thing I could say in regards to the MST is to know your exponent rules and how to pick apart word problems. The MCT wasn't too bad at all, a lot of the questions I was being asked involved just basic theory. I had a few lever questions, work, inertia, and a Bernoulli's Principle question as well! In conclusion, I will say that everything I encountered on the MST and MCT was either in Kyle's or Gomez's drive.

Thank you, CoMa! My biggest problem is picking apart word problems, but I'm working on them tonight before my test tomorrow. All in all, your scores are solid, and this is what I want to get!
Don't worry, that's why I'm here. Good luck with flight school!

Good Day folks! I took the ASTB-E today and I was shocked by my results, dissappointed. Will reattempt in 30 days. Any advice?
(OAR): 40
(AQR): 3
(PFAR): 4
(FOFAR): 4
(LPSS): 48

Practice heavy on the PBM portion that is where 80 pct of your score is going to come from.

Appreciate the insight! PBM accounts for 80% but wouldn't increasing my scores for that category help with everything except AQR?

tbh I would focus heavy on the PBM everyone seems to thinks the OAR is weighted but I beg to differ. I have seen people with low oar and higher line scores. In my personal account I got a 6/7/7 on my third attempt and that’s with me missing 7 on the UAV section in addition to messing up on the emergency procedures. I like to think if I didn’t mess up I would have gotten all 7’s or 8’s. But that’s personal observation take it with a grain of salt.

The 5 AQR is low, but the 7 is decent. People have been picked up with those scores before, but it’s not a guarantee.

Noted, thanks for your help man.

PFAR is heavily based on ANIT and PBM performance. How have you been practicing?

I felt solid when I took the ANIT portion. This was a focal point while studying. As for PBM, I've used the ASTB Prep App, I think I got 8 UAV wrong simply because I was nervous and perhaps over thinking it. I only get on average 2-3 wrong using the UAV simulator on the app but during the test I found it harder to think clearly. The Dichomy testing was one that I think bit in my butt because I assumed that only one targeted ear were to be used and didn't catch on til later that target ears switched in the middle of the test so totally screwed that one haha. Finally for stick/throttle, I simply used the ASTB Prep App simulator but least prepared for it. I have windows and havnt figured out a way to hook up my stick/throttle i purchased from Amazon to my computer. Math I felt okay, got thru all questions. I'd say I felt I did 60% there, RCT reading was easy in my opinion, and MCT mechanics was the one where I still had questions even though I was timed out.
