I am applying this August through OSO KC and i am fairly competetive. However my weakest point in my package is the ACT score. I am just trying to get the 45 on the verbal and math, but i just keep coming up short only a few points. I was considering the ASVAB, but i dont know yet. I am very smart and get good grades however i just stink at standardized testing. Any advice on this matter.

Give the ASVAB a shot. I found it to be freaken easy compared to the ACT/SAT tests. Between the ACT and SAT i took the tests 9 times trying to get a good score for college and stuff. I took the ASVAB on a whim without studying for it and made a 91. Take that for what its worth.
I took the ASVAB when i was a sophomore, but it doesnt count since i was too young (i dont know why my HS made us take it). I ended up with a 51, i was stupid back then though, i think i could do a whole lot better now that i am older. What is the minimum score to get into OCS, or is a combined score of something on the test? This is the only thing standing in my way (that i know of), i have excellent LOR's, extra-curriculars, decent PFT (around 270), and a good GPA. So close, yet so far.

Would that not look good in the package? I was talking to the Captian via email a while back and i asked him about the ACT scores (or SAT or ASVAB) and he said that it is just a mere REQUIRMENT and not something that the boards really look at. So obviously i guess i should just shoot for the highest possible in case there is a package similiar to mine to where they need to look at the test scores.
