I personally believe that the OAR section has nothing to do with the aviation/NFO scores. IMHO
From what my OR tells me, the OAR is a good measure of how well you can handle the academic portion of OCS. Although the OAR portion's score isn't factored into the AQR, PFAR, or FOFAR scores (see image*) it still is valuable to the aviation community. This is because the sections the OAR is based off are the fundamental skills and knowledge that an Officer needs to 1) pass OCS 2) build upon once at API and Basic. So yes, the OAR section is not used in calculating your AQR, PFAR, or FOFAR as those are derived from a combination of questions from the last three sections (again see image*). But it is still a valuable measure of your foundational knowledge and skills.
