Hey all,
I took the ASTB yesterday and figured I should leave a review to try be helpful
67 8/7/8
I studied over two weeks with Barrons, accepted inc, petersons, the apatrick study guide, marine gouge, peterson sat did the math portions online. One cool thing I found was that my county library provided online access to a few sites (petersons nelnet) which had many different practice tests for sat, asvab, afoqt so that was nice. barrons and the sat prep were great for math and physics, khan academy is also great for any topic you need to brush up on. flash cards are easy to find for the uav and all sort of anit info. I read the faa manual as well. All this stuff can be found throughout these posts but if youre too lazy i may be able to send you some documents
Math
Standard rate question, percent needed if he has these scores on two of the three tests, these on hw and these on the final what does he need to get on the last test to have this final grade if his teacher promises to add five extra points at the end to his grade basically weighted averages with a twist, no logs or binary, a few factoring and one crazy square root that had a exponent of 3/4 on the inside and the answers all had massive numbers so i made an educated guess
Reading,
felt like i was doing horrible, questions bounced from dense military stuff with acronyms and complex things to ones about how our vision works. the answers required some inferring a lot of the time which made me question a lot of them but seems i did okay
Mechanical
Standard as described, pulley, bernoulli stuff, one about the voltage coming out of one of like six lines all meeting in the center and only one didnt have a resistor on it not sure how else to describe that. other posts are spot on with what to study
ANIT
Pretty easy if you study those flash cards and the faa manual, only one i remember not knowing was about some commander and it asked who he reports to, took as a sign i was doing well
PBM
UAV easy, i had to do it on a laptop without a mouse which i would say slowed me down a little but i only missed two, practice beforehand
Listening is easy tilt your head to the side you are listening for
the rest is really pretty hard to feel like you do even a decent job at, tracking is really hard i just tried to track as best i could and when it was time to listen i did that first and the emergency procedures first.
hope this helps good luck!
