quick question, im graduating from The Citadel here in a few months, i was wondering how much weight that might hold for my application

Seeing how this thread is about the ASTB .... umm, 7 pounds?

Quick question for anybody who can answer it. The whole topic of how much acid to mix with another to get a certain product confuses the hell out of me so i put an example below and if anybody has found an easy way to do this feedback would be much appreciated.

How much pure acid must be added to 12 ounces of a 40% acid solution in order to produce a 60% acid solution?

I'm a 2/C at SU/LSU NROTC, took my ASTB this afternoon, my scores are as follows:

AQR - 6
PFAR - 7
FOFAR - 6
OAR - 47

After looking through this thread, I think I have a pretty good idea about my scores, but I couldn't help but ask anyway. In this day and age, how competitive are my scores for SNA?

I was a non select for BDCP SNA with 50 6/7/6, re took it and scored a 65 7/8/8 when I got a pro-rec. I know people have been selected with your scores and I have limited knowledge on NROTC selection, but if you have time to take the test again, I felt much more prepared the second time around.

100%(x) + 40%(12) = 60%(12 + x)

x + .4 (12) = .6 (12+x)

x = 6 ounces

I got 6/6/6 and 53 on my second test, does anyone have some good advice? And I got selected to go on the aviation cruise for summer training, so will that help me later on as far as weither or not i will get picked for a pilot slot?

Took it Friday got a 51 6/6/6.......wasn't too bad except some aviation questions I had NO idea about!!

6/6/5 57... a lot of aviation, the last part was all aviation stuff. Took test 5 I think. (going for BDCP NFO)...going to submit for April boards (?) and re-test if needed.

Did anyone notice repeat questions? I took it on the computer and about 3 of the problems in the last section were repeated. Specifically the one about red and green flashing lights on the tower, which btw, what does it mean?

Red and Green Flashing means to use Extreme Caution. I also noticed a few questions repeating... I

I just took the test today... Scored 5/5/5/ 50... Would have scored higher most likely, but the damn computer was slower than dirt loading images, and the timer was still counting down while they load!

** They need to seriously get some better quality images for the test, most were grainy and pixilated on the machine I was on.

Great, thats what I figured. I'll need to review my aviation if I take it again. I can see what you're saying about the computers, I was worried that might happen to me. Lucky for me my recruiting office just got renovated so they're all using new computers with flat screen lcd monitors etc. so needless to say the system was rather smooth. Thanks for your input and good luck.

I didn't have problems with the pictures downloading but the quality is similar to yours. It appears as they used a scan of the old paper tests so it wouldn't surprise me if most people had the same pictures as you did. Your score looks fine but now you know that if you don't get in with these scores what it is like to take it and will probably do much better as you said. Good Luck!

When I took it the computer began to run slow and at one point locked up while the clock was still running.......

 

[scava88]

I usually prefer written exams, but this is what they sat me in front of and told me to do and that was as good a time as any to start to OBEY.

Just took the test the other day and scored 9/9/9 64, then went in for my MEPS physical and got my eyes checked at 20/20, then proceeded to completely flunk the depth perception test. So long SNA, fingers crossed for an NFO spot now! As for the computer issues, I had something similar to Jlil41, I swear the thing began to bog down at points.

 

[jlil41]

9/9/9 huh..........thats pretty damn good, how'd you prepare for it?
