ASTB Retakers: Higher or Lower Scores on Second Attempts?

[kittyclash16]

Should I retake the ASTB or not? My first scores were 46 6/8/8, and I have a 3.4 GPA. I was planning to submit my application for the November board, but my recruiter said the pilot board got canceled. The next board is in January, but there’s no guarantee it will happen. I've read posts saying the Navy won’t be looking for pilots until 2026, but some people in this thread mentioned that unless it’s officially stated, it’s just rumors.

My recruiter recommends I retake the test and aim for the immediate select scores, but I’m hesitant since I’m not a great test taker. I heard the immediate select applicants already got their class dates around January.
