OAR study tips?

[MakMacG]

I am preparing to retake the OAR in about 3 weeks, and am having a hard time finding reliable study material. I had little trouble with the math and mechanical sections, but the reading comprehension tripped me up way more than I expected. I took the ASVAB years back and the questions were similar to ACT comprehension, so when I saw the OAR reading was more "military comprehension", I found I was unprepared and my score suffered as a result. What would people reccommend for more accurate reading practice?

Welcome to the forum/page. There’s an entire OAR/ASTB section dedicated to the exam, kindly suggest you browse over there and take the time to find your answer along with other tips, strategies, etc.

Similar testing, recruiting, or other misc questions suggest using the search function first… odds are it’s been asked and answered in detail.

Good luck!

Lots of stuff in the ASTB subs.
