I'm planning on taking the test this month, would 3 weeks of study benefit, or would I need to take some more time. I have six weeks left in school also, so homework is worked in there.

It depends on what your background in school is (ie. engineer) and when you feel comfortible taking it. If you don't feel like you are ready, take more time; don't be affraid of your OR, they should want you to put together the best package you can in a timely manner.

The longest part for most people to study is the ANT. Some are worse at math and mechanical, and these are their hardest sections. How long and what have you been studying so far?

I took a long time to study, because I had a low GPA and I wanted to somewhat compensate for that with a high ASTB score. There is plenty of gouge on here to asist you if you are already pretty good at aviation, math, and verbal; it is a much faster way to study then what us slower folks do (for me, Arco, Barron's, websites, and gouges).

OAR was 65...not stellar, but not too shabby, either. Just have to do the flight physical and last year of school. It's starting to get real...


:D

hey all,

I've been lurking around here for about a year now, I guess its high time I got involved. Took the ASTB today and passed with 9's across the board. I just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to the gouge on this forum, it helped out one hell of a lot!

Congrats man. Now do me a favor and don't apply in Oct :icon_wink

Out of curiosity, does OAR work on the same Navy-standard bell-curve scale as NSS and enlisted advancement exams?
50 is the median, 80 is max, and every 10 points is 1 standard deviation...

Edit: I did some googling, and I'm pretty sure it is the same. 20 is the min, 80 is the max. So, the OP was 1.5 std. devs. above the median/mean, very good indeed.

Good job, good luck! Welcome to AW (the posting side of things). You're sucked in now. It's like friggin' Hotel California, except 'the beast' is A4s. :D

That's an amazing score. Anyone with a higher OAR would have to be a god among men.

Not 100% sure it made it for this board, but I hope so.

You got jokes? :icon_tong

To the OP, congrats on the awesome score! Why not go for BDCP rather than waiting to finish school?
