E6... Im not applying for OCC. Im in PLC. And that is what he told me.
I had no idea about the gouge until about 3 days before the test. I was busy studying a bunch of books that I found on the ASTB. Like the ARCO book, CLIFFSTestPrep, etc. These books were a lot harder than the actual test, but I guess it is always good to study more and then the test is easier.
I thought the gouge was a good idea of what to look at, study an old algebra book, Im in CALC 4 and my algebra sucked. The reading is common sense, read a passage, etc.
The mechanical section presses you for time and you should know just about all the basic principles of physics. EX: moments, pressure, electric circuits, mechanical advantage, etc. Some require computations others are just trivial questions.
The SA section was not bad, my OSO told me this is the big section to get SNA slot. Study it like no tomorrow. The pictures are similar to the ARCO book, just the ASTB ones are like bad xerox copies.
Aviation/Nautical section I thought was pretty easy although I am taking pilot lessons so you learn a lot from that. But if you have no knowledge of boats and planes, study up on their parts and functions. Any other questions feel free to ask.
