So, I'm taking the OAR/ASTB exams in less than two weeks. Is that enough time to prepare?
Let me give you a little bit of background. I'm 25. I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park with a 3.45 GPA. I am in my last year of law school, and I do plan on getting barred. I've interned for my District Court and for my Attorney General's Office. I have practiced law under a supervising attorney as a Rule 16 Student Attorney. So, I do have work experience, I suppose. However, I'm not interested in practicing. And not I'm not interested in JAG. I am interested in becoming a Naval Officer, specifically a SWO. I understand that the OAR/ASTB are two tests that are factored in to a general determination - which includes GPA and work experience - as to whether one will accepted into OCS.
With all that stated, what should I shoot for score wise? Should I post-pone the exam to a later time? Are there any online supplements? How should I study? I'd like to just get this out of the way, to be quite honest. I have taken far too many standardize exams.
