42%

Where'd you get that number? Is that for SWO?

it's an older post on this site where a recruiter sarcastically threw this out to a guy that made an "Omg what's my chances to fly jets" post. Also, what really matters this time around is if this board will maintain its high selection rate.

roger... thanks man... ya I heard through grapevine rates have been upwards of 85-90%

inshallah I get it... Low gpa, high oar, but I'm prior usmc... something oughta get me there

I'm hoping it stays that way, especially since we both have very similar ASTB scores.

I would love for a selection rate that high! But NFO hasn't been as lucky with only 48% last board. But it's close to 50% so I shouldn't complain, other rates would kill for that kind of selection rate.

ya man... everyone I talked to said I'm good.. even with my low gpa 2.8... so you should be golden brother

I'm with you brother, prior service here too. High GPA lower ASTB, but hopefully our prior time plays a role in this.

I hated the ASTB, everything I studied did not help. High GPA, low OAR so hopefully my prior service helps. With an 85% selection rate I think we all would be fine. Now we just need to know when its going to happen!

Just a tad nervewrecking on the wait!

honestly... I dont think you can really study for it... except for the part on aviation specific questions... i dont know.. then again I took it cold so... it just felt a lot like a test that wasn't testing so much your knowledge as it was your aptitude

Well said

Take everything with a grain of salt. Wish for the best, but prepare for the worst. The worst thing is not making it and not having a plan B.

Do not stress over things we cannot control!

You can and definitely should study for the ASTB. I wouldn't have done near as well if I had not studied my ass off

I think they are talking about the flight portion of the test. There is no way to practice for the moving objects portion
