Dont know why your recruiter would say that tbh. Most if not all people from this forum studied for the astb before taking it whether its their first or second try. Is he trying to say that ur test score should come from a no information, no knowledge state or that there are no astb study materials? Either way its kind of weird for him to tell u not to study for itWhat do you guys think about recruiter saying you can’t study for the astb? Recruiter wants me to take it in Jan, I’ve got a 63 oar but never studied astb stuff and also have room for improvement on oar so wanted to study both for a few months at least. I’m considering using an attempt in Jan just to see how things go, get an app in for March board.
