No we wouldn’t.Yeah, I'm almost positive we would all have to go in and retake the new version to make things fair.
My recruiter hasn't said a word about this so, a source would be nice

On the 1000 ASTB questions post, post #7,436 is the first datapoint I’ve seen on the new test. As well as the link I attached above explains the reasoning behind it. They want to make the UAV portion of the test harder, so people cannot memorize the answer combinations as easily.Got a source? An updated ASTB would be a huge deal.
I took the ASTB today and it seems this is true with the 30-degree increments. Didn't really affect me though as I only missed one and averaged about 2.5 seconds. If you use the compass trick it still works just gotta be more accurate when moving it around. I attached my compass to a pencil and rotated it and that worked just fine.Hey everyone, important question for the people that have taken the ASTB very recently.
Was the UAV portion of the test done with 30 degree increments and a drop down answer of the correct heading of the ship? (As shown in the picture or via this article on the third page: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1071181319631451 )
I am looking for confirmation on this so TwoScoops can make a new version of the UAV simulator for his ASTB app.
I wouldn’t consider that portion to be a “major change” but I also don’t make the test lol ??♂️…and to retake the oar portion just because of that is nutsI've heard differently on this forum.
I can try to find who said it but apparently if there are major changes to the ASTB, applicants need to retake to make it fair to everyone on the board.
Is that incorrect?
So it had a drop down menu of headings instead of pick one of the four buildings?I took the ASTB today and it seems this is true with the 30-degree increments.

I took it for the first time back in May and that seemed to be the only difference from then
Feel if it was true we had to retake we would have heard by now so I’m gonna say it’s not.I wouldn’t consider that portion to be a “major change” but I also don’t make the test lol ??♂️…and to retake the oar portion just because of that is nuts
You still pick one of the 4 buildings with your mouse. I haven't heard anything about a drop-down menu?So it had a drop down menu of headings instead of pick one of the four buildings?
Also thanks for the confirmation!
Imagine how pissed the recruiting stations would be if they had to re-schedule everyone who’s taken the ASTB in the last year lolFeel if it was true we had to retake we would have heard by now so I’m gonna say it’s not.
Sweet, thank you!You still pick one of the 4 buildings with your mouse. I haven't heard anything about a drop-down menu?
One way or another with the last one being cancelled this is gonna be a crazy amount of applicants.I hope more people with 4s and 5s apply to this board ??
You might be right.One way or another with the last one being cancelled this is gonna be a crazy amount of applicants.
I know myself personally I gotta get a medical waiver as of yesterday from MEPS and I'm having a real tough time figuring out who to ask for LOR's for some reason. Also gotta get my score up so good chance I don't make this one which would suck. I want BDCP so bad ?You might be right.
Nov21 was a regular board and it had over 300 applicants.
Jan22 board was canceled.
So May22 board had applicants who wanted to apply to Jan22... and around 250 applied.
No way to tell until we see the At-Board list.
You have a lot going on! I don't know how BDCP does things, but I'm sure you can get LORs from some of your leaders from the fleet or professors. You might be good with those scores as a prior, but better scores wouldn't hurt.I know myself personally I gotta get a medical waiver as of yesterday from MEPS and I'm having a real tough time figuring out who to ask for LOR's for some reason.
