The Barron's book is crap (my processor told me this after the fact!). I had a 6/7/6 54 - which was the lowest of all the SNA pro-recs here on AW. Considering how well I did on the AFOQT I was surprised.

Thanks for the gouge. I have been using all of the .pdf(s) and the flash cards as well. I have been using the Barrons book (officer candidate school tests version) for the math prep though. From what I have read else where it is good for the math section.

I found this blog that someone put all of there letters home in during OCS and it describes the first few weeks really well. I have noticed in the past that there isn't a ton of info about the first few weeks at OCS any where on the web, so I figured I would share this. It may help anyone going to be mentally prepared for what they will face. http://petersocsjournal.blogspot.com/2011/09/indoctrination-weekhell-week.html

I got an 86 for pilot and nav, 90s for verbal and academic, and 80s in all other categories (quant and....?). Considering that I took the AFOQT first, I was surprised by my ASTB performance.

To me, the AFOQT was easier because the tests they use to calculator your Pilot/Nav score aren't as heavy on the spatial and general airplane knowledge as the ASTB was. Either way, I have no intrest in flying, so both of those tests were just "wasting time"
I did qualify to apply for pilot for the Air Force, but not the Navy...

That and everyone has to take the entire AFOQT, which is percentile based. So if you are 80th percentile, that is out of all officer applicants, even those who are just bubbling in "A" for all the answers on the sections irrelevant to their job.

This is pretty much what I saw when people had taken both, great on the AFOQT mean average on the ASTB

Does anyone know if the March SNA/NFO board is still on? I hope we don't have to wait until July... Merry Christmas everyone!

Unless this is news more recent than a week or two ago, the SNA board is definitely in place for March. My OR is in the process of completing my package to send out by the end of January, so I certainly hope this hasn't changed.
