I feel like the quarantine is going to ruin our scores. I heard OCS makes it hard enough to begin with.

Thank you so much I really apappreciate it. I’ll begin studying and try and find a testing center for the test. I will have my degree next month and applying for the February 2021 board.
Congrats all. With only 3 months left to prep, I've been PT'ing a lot more (at least trying) and studying/memorizing appendix B. I've heard from multiple sources, mentors included, that knowing appendix B verbatim will make the pain a little more bearable. I've attached it for anyone else's viewing pleasure. Finally found the website, that could also be useful. The OCS website linked to NPC kept giving me errors. https://www.netc.navy.mil/Commands/Naval-Service-Training-Command/OTCN/OCS/

Good stuff. I am suppose to be getting my gouge any day now...
Just by going off of appendix B I would imagine that the latest version is "K" from 2018. That is what is referenced on the OCS website and NPC when it was still up. Could you provide link or share what you have?
Here are two links I have used to study both appendix B and C knowledge. I know the big things to focus on are ranks (Marine and Navy), insignia, songs, sailors creed, oath of office, code of conduct, watch standing principles, general order of a sentry, and phonetic alphabet.
I am not sure however if I need to know the 15 leadership characteristics, levels/types of combat, and all of the designator insignia verbatim as well.

There seems to be a heavier emphasis on app B because it is inspect-able; not excluding C,D, & etc.
True, it is strange that different links have variations amongst the appendix B sections with some containing more or less information. I guess just learn as much as possible?!
I understand what you're saying, but quarantine should have no effect on physical readiness. In fact, the workout guide published by OTC, actually recommends that we do not workout two weeks prior to class convening. If you are physically fit, you should not experience any noticeable degradation of your physical abilities. I had similar concerns, but we should be more than fine. From what I've heard, you should arrive fit enough to run 3 miles, 3 times a week, in addition to HIIT workouts throughout each day.
I would use the packet published on the OTC website to study. That packet has the best and most current information.

The fleet was set to start planks FY21 cycle 2 (Spring 2021) PFA. But the past two PFAs have been canceled so I'm unclear if its required yet. Although I did hear they are doing planks at the academy so maybe. Sorry, that's as clear of an answer I can give.
