Making Recruiting Great Again
For those expecting to take the ASTB in order to apply for a commission, there is going to be a new ASTB to be released as noted below. What that means for those who follow Airwarriors is that previous pointers and tips for studying may no longer be relevant. Although the majority of the information is still going to be tested, at least the format will change and new features will be introduced with the new version. SO, IF YOU HAVE BEEN STUDYING TO TAKE THE ASTB, YOU SHOULD DO SO PRIOR TO DEC 9TH.
Partial message pasted below from NOMI:
THE ASTB-E WILL GO LIVE at 0001 CENTRAL TIME ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 9TH.
On this date ASTB Forms 3,4,5 will no longer be administered and APEX 2 will no longer be available. Paper versions of ASTB (Forms 3,4,5) and OAR (Forms 3,4,5) administered on or after 9 December will not be scored.
The ASTB-E contains many new dynamic testing components which require the use of a Joystick, Throttle, and Headphones. It is therefore ONLY AVAILABLE ONLINE via APEX4.
The Officer Aptitude Rating (OAR) test will continue to be available both online and by paper and pencil. The online version is computer adaptive and does not include form numbers. The paper and pencil version is available in three new forms (Forms 6, 7, & 8). All in accordance with SECNAVINST 1532.1.
More information will be passed as I receive it, but this is a big change for both recruiters as well as SNA/SNFO applicants who want to take the ASTB exam.
