I understand that. I was wondering how that process works. Do i just use my third and final on the next review board?@Napolitano99 a non select means you were not picked…
Damn you had a great improvement from your scores. Did you change anything in studying or did you just spend more time studying overall? And I suppose getting a feel for the test helped too.I think the general consensus would be to retake it. People in recent years have gotten picked up with a 6 FOFAR, but it’s generally a pretty low chance. If you’re feeling good about your application as a whole, I’d say go for it and hope for the best.
For what it’s worth, I applied for NFO last year with a 59 7/5/6 and wasn’t selected.
You are lucky in that Supply takes a hard look at your progress through college, do you have the math courses required for Supply?My Officer recruiter says that the navy calculates all degrees into one overall GPA. Right now I have a overall GPA of a 3.05. Earning my MBA in supply chain logistics management and my Master’s GPA is a 3.7. I have 2 semesters left and I’ll have my MBA.
The opportunity presents itself for me to take additional undergraduate classes to boost my overall GPA. This Fall, if I move forward to taking a few undergraduate classes and pass those with A’s, my overall GPA would push to a 3.1, maybe a 3.2. Is this worth it overall? When applying to the Supply Board, are they going to be more concerned with my Master’s GPA since it’s more recent?
Odds are really against you getting selected, given this is your last chance to test it is really tough decision, what was your first set of scores? This might be a case of go for it and retest if a "No"Applying for Pilot and NFO
Just completed my second ASTB with a 50 5/6/5,
Finance Risk Management major with 2.85 GPA
Deciding on whether to take a 3rd test or not. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Respectfully, what do you mean exactly by lucky?You are lucky in that Supply takes a hard look at your progress through college, do you have the math courses required for Supply?
Lucky because several designators don't take a hard look at the applications, or they focus on the overall GPA, some like aviation just take a quick glance and go off of the ASTB because they need to pick people who will make it through flight school.Respectfully, what do you mean exactly by lucky?
Also, took a business calculus course and aced that. My recruiter did mention that they should accept that as a calculus course but he isn’t a 100% sure.
Alright, that makes sense. Overall, do you believe its worth it taking extra classes to boost my overall GPA, one last push.Lucky because several designators don't take a hard look at the applications, or they focus on the overall GPA, some like aviation just take a quick glance and go off of the ASTB because they need to pick people who will make it through flight school.
Not unless you need another math class. The boost would be minimal when factored in to you 2 degrees.Alright, that makes sense. Overall, do you believe its worth it taking extra classes to boost my overall GPA, one last push.
So if your gpa and oar is not good they won’t even look at applicationLucky because several designators don't take a hard look at the applications, or they focus on the overall GPA, some like aviation just take a quick glance and go off of the ASTB because they need to pick people who will make it through flight school.
No one cares about the OAR, the GPA maybe or maybe not, it depends on what designator, aviation really doesn't care, SWO just depends, and IWC gets so many great applicants they can be very picky.So if your gpa and oar is not good they won’t even look at application
First scores were a 46 4/4/5 with an ineffective pbm and math study planOdds are really against you getting selected, given this is your last chance to test it is really tough decision, what was your first set of scores? This might be a case of go for it and retest if a "No"
My advice would be to buy the joystick and throttle used during the PBM. That test is heavily weighted in your PFAR score and if you don't get that down then your PFAR score will never go above 6.Hello all,
I am pursuing a pilot slot.
I took my ASTB about two weeks ago, I got a 41 3/4/4, which is terrible.
I studied an ASTB prep book for about two weeks prior, walked into the exam with tons of confidence, but i bombed it. Any recommendations on study material before my next exam?
The only thing positive with my application is my 3.6 GPA, and that I'm a starter and team captain on my college baseball team.
