1,001 questions about the ASTB (post your scores & ask your questions here!)

Hey everyone, I took my first ASTB today. Unfortunately, I did not get the scores I wanted, or thought I'd get from how much I studied. Before I go further, I'd like to say I took my math yesterday, the system crashed and they said I'd have to come back and finish today. So, I continued this morning, and the test crashed about 5-6 more times. Was not a fan of that experience and I will be going to a different location in 31 days. I also did not like their X52 at all, but maybe I got too used to my own.

My final score was 46 4/5/5. I am very disappointed in this as I've studied for two months or more. I am fine with my OAR score, for that I honestly only care to pass it. But my ANIT and performance scores are insanely low, especially when compared to my sim scores on the app and the amount of ANIT cram cards I did. I watched a million aviation YouTube videos, did the UAV flashcards on top of all the stuff on the app. I truly felt like I was at the peak of the sims and ANIT knowledge. Also, because I am active duty I already knew a lot of nautical and historical stuff. I was super confident while in the sims this morning too. Just very disappointed but not giving up. Calling a different office and hopefully taking another test in December.

Hey man, I would say try to keep studying the UAV portion. Try to get every single one correct in a quick succession. And as far as the stick and throttle portion goes I would really prioritize getting all the dichotic listening correct over being super close to the targets. That seems to be what worked for me. Good luck man you got this.

On the app I was getting 20/20 consistently with like a 1.4-1.6 sec average, Terrain was usually 17-20/20 with a 9-13 sec average, and I swore I heard it all right, but something definitely didn't go right somewhere I suppose. Thanks man.
