And a future NFO would let his wife drive the car, while he read the map and gave her directions "cook book style."

Haha not a bad suggestion for the supply guys. I think I would rather do that than the NFO stuff though...I cant stand reading in the car.

Well you guys arent going to believe this... Since that last practice test I took I sat down with a couple physics books and really drilled the topics I missed on the mechanical comp (pulleys, electrical systems, etc). So I decided to take my last practice test. I had used every other resource like I said, and I was really doubting whether taking my last test was a good idea, but I went ahead and took it anyway. It was from the petersons site so it utilized the old form 1 and 2 format. I almost had a stroke when I calculated the scores this time around. They were as follows:
Oar-78!
AQR-9
PFAR-9
FOFAR-9
Where did that come from?!?! Is that particular practice test just insanely easy? Have you guys all seen higher scores when taking that version? I couldnt believe my eyes when I computed the scores...I checked and rehecked the scoring over and over again to make sure I didnt make any errors. What should I think about this? Obviously if its an easier test there isnt any reason to get excited, but if not, what would this mean? If I were to achieve scores like that on the real thing where would that put me? I know my 3.1 isnt the greatest, even though math isnt the easiest major, but would a 78 and those line scores get me a slot? I have no idea where my LORs are going to come from, other than a couple of professors, and my prt wont be that great unless they let me substitute the run with the swim. Would this eliminate the need for the flight hours on my record? Ive only seen a couple others with scores like this, but they had everything else going for them too (prt, LORs, flight hours, etc). Sorry to rant but this has just thrown me for a loop...Oh and happy new year to everyone!

On a side note, the flight instructor gave me a call back and it turns out his prices dont include the plane, so the total works out to be around $130/hr. Guess Im counting on a repeat performance of that practice test. Hopefully it wasnt a fluke or flawed test.

Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully you are right about the practice test/actual test relationship. I was afraid it was one of those poorly made practice tests that was too easy. I guess I need to turn my attention to beefing up other areas of my package, like LORs and my personal statement. Also, actually taking the test again of course:icon_tong
