Practicing the guide someone posted on here definitely helped. I also drew the directions and parking lot on a sheet of paper, and would rotate it to fit the map of the UAV shown. Got my responses down to the 1.5-1.8s range and only missed one.

Also the test will let you do unlimited practice problems (just click "Back" when it gets to the screen showing a picture of a Predator, DO NOT click Continue or you will start the test and are not able to practice anymore.)

Mayday, could use a little help here. I`m having trouble understanding the logic and methodology behind solving the UAV parking lot test. I`ve seen a couple of explanations on a couple of threads but still not getting it. Could someone out there please direct me to a decent explanation of the UAV test or perhaps give me an explanation of how to actually come up with the correct answers. Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use these to practice. Once you understand the logic it's not too difficult.

You are presented with a standard map (North is always up), which has an arrow pointing it showing your direction of flight, and a "camera view" of what the UAV is seeing. The camera view will show 4 parking lots. The lots are always at the north, the south, the east, and the west, however depending on your your direction of light (i.e. if you are flying towards the SE) the lots may appear to be tilted.

You are presented with all this info, and asked to target a specific parking lot. You have to figure out which direction you are flying, and use your knowledge of the cardinal directions to ascertain what the correct lot is. For example, if you are flying south, and it asks you to target the north lot, it's going to be the closest one in the camera view.

Hey folks,

Just took the ASTB-E today for the first time, ended up with a 63 6/5/7, about what I expected with my lack of study and lack of recent math/science education.

I found the entire program to be a bit screwy, with long lag times in between questions, and a pretty poor response with the joystick and throttle.

I think that if I chose to do it a second time (which is probably unlikely at this point) that I would score a lot better, so if you aren't satisfied with your score another try and a bit more studying might help.

Good luck to all!

Ideally you want all 6's but with those scores you should be fine. I'd say go ahead and put your packet together and get it submitted in time for the next board expected sometime in September/October, 2015/2016/2017ish! ;)

That is like saying "go to college and get C's", if you get less than 7's you are what could be considered "on the bubble"
Just going off of what my OR told me. I had 57/6/6/6 and it worked for me. Of course that pales in comparison to everybody and their mother on here who somehow get 80/9/9/9 and also have PST scores that make Team Guys look powderpuff football players.

Hello everyone! My first time taking the test I scored 40 4/5/4. I took the test again yesterday and scored 77 6/7/6. This forum was instrumental to my success. My sources was khan Academy, purple math, ASTB Accepted, and the UAV flashcard on this forum.

My background I'm currently in the US Army as a UH-60 Blackhawk Crew Chief I have over 380 flight hours and 180 combat flight hours. After my deployment in Afghanistan I earned the Air Medal. "Proud moment " I have a Bachelor degree in Aeronautical Science with a concentration in flight education -3.1GPA. I have my Private Pilot Certificate and close to getting my Instrument flight training total hours 450.3.

Some OR's never look at what people get selected with, and it has changed, before a person had to have a PQ letter if you had 6's or 5's you may as well not even submit, just retake (old version was 30 day wait), 7's were 50/50, but now many of those that were picked in the past wouldn't even go to board because they would never get a PQ, so smaller pool which allows those with lower scores to get picked, those with 6's are now possible, but if the pool gets bigger as it does sometimes people could get caught off guard, now with a 90 day wait I would say a person with 6's or even 5's just submit, but take that time while waiting to study and be ready for plan B.

Hey Andre,
Awesome scores man, good luck on your package. It sounds like you should be good to go based on the threads I've read your package sounds very competitive. I took the ASTB back in January and got a 41 3/4/4... Im studying like a hawk now. I've taken time away from work to just focus on studying... I'm using khan academy and GRE Princeton review and GRE Manhattan for the math. For the Reading I'm just practicing through GRE Manhattan stuff and mechanical I'm just looking at stuff online. For the UAV portion I'm using these flash cards (see attached). How did you prepare for the ANIT. I found some flashcards on cram.com but do you have any other advice about how I can boost my score as you did?
Thanks and awesome work again!
Mo

I also studied the FAR/AIM. I'm a visual learner so I looked at many videos on youtube including Naval Aviation History. It's a 40 minute video on the History of the Navy great source. I also kept reading the forums on this site the best source start from page 26 and to 31! I also brought a joystick to help me out with the performance base portion. I used my ps3 and a game called eden! Also take your time with each question do not guess and don't rush the biggest mistake I made the first time.
 
Took the test last week Thursday and just wanted to give what gouge I can and add to what has already been said. A bit about my background, I am a merchant marine engineer and a LTJG in the Navy Reserves. Although I am an engineer, all my professional experience in the past 3 years since grad has been hands-on operational with MSC cargo ships. I do have about 60 hours of flight time as well in a small plane. I ponied this format off of caburt1 from a previous post.

I started my prep about a week prior but nothing too extensive maybe an hour a night if that. I bought an SAT math book and the Military Flight Aptitude Tests book 8th edition by Perterson’s from Barnes and Noble. I used the SAT book for extra practice questions in the appropriate categories. I suggest doing this as it will keep you flexible with the math section. The other sections (reading comprehension, mechanical comprehension, Naut. and Air comprehension) I referred to the Flight Aptitude Book for practice, during the test the questions turned out to be close to the same as to what were in the book.

THE TEST

Math


This section was a worry for me, as I think it is for most people who take it. I am in operations so I don’t necessarily use math on a regular basis despite being an engineer and when I do I use a calculator heavily, so relearning hand math was a bit more of a challenge then I thought.

As far as questions I got probability, rate problems, simplification of algebraic functions, a few complex order of operation problems, and simple trig problems (circumference of a circle with a radius of whole numbers) . No Logs or matrixes on my test, although I did study them and simple problems involving them I would say are fair game, like quotient rule for logs.

The rate problems I got were like, if an airplane burns X gal/hr, in Y min, then how many gal will be burned in Z min. These are simple but pay attention to units as most of the time I had an answer that I could get if I forget to convert hours to min.


The section I felt wasn’t too bad if you us the books to study. Within a no more than 3 computations you can have the right answer to all of the problems. I cannot stress enough to not worry about the time in this portion. Do your best on each question, once you answer it forget about it and do not dwell on if you got it right or not as you cannot go back and review it. Be efficient but not fast if that makes any sense. The test is adaptive, look in previous post for that explanation, and I even think that once you answer enough right it ends the test. The reason being is that I got thru maybe 14 to 16 questions, hard to tell because it doesn’t give you a count, and roughly 22 min left on my counter before it ended the test and told me to prepare for the net section. I actually thought that I failed the section so badly that the computer was like “we are done here.” Kinda caught me off guard.

Reading Comprehension
This section of the test was just like in the book, read the paragraph and choose the statement that most represents the meaning of the passage. Most felt like they were from Navy regulation manuals referencing NAVPERS and BUPERS instructions but I did get a few passages that were directly from the practice question in the book. I would say I got more difficult questions then easy ones during the test. Again there was no question counter so it is hard to tell how many exactly but I felt like I did over 20. There is a timer but if you don’t have a question counter so I’m not sure what the point of it is.


Mechanical Comprehension
The gouge on the website here is excellent. Basic physics, a few basic electrical (like what does a resister look like on an electrical drawing) and pulleys are what I can remember but I did have other types. I do remember one pulley problem because I said “what the f*** is this” too myself, it was a weight with line attached in three places suspended but two pulleys that had lines suspended by two more pulleys, looked really complex but just using the rules of pulleys dividing force I was able to simplify it down to two pulleys doing any actual work when you pulled the rope. As for that nothing really too notable in this section from my POV. Again timer but no question numbers from what I can remember.

Aviation and Nautical Information Test
I didn’t get any naval or aviation history, or any lat long questions. This section was easy for me as my civilian job is working on ships and I also fly as a hobby. But for anyone who doesn’t get onboard boats much, a glossing over a nautical dictionary or even watching a few navy ship movies would help, shoot me a message if someone really needs help on nautical stuff maybe I’ll make up a navy quick glance guide. The aviation questions I got were also basic; any student pilot should ace this. If you have neither the book will give you a good start.

Naval Aviation Trait Facet Inventory
There really isn’t anything to add to this section that hasn’t already been said. There are 99 questions, but they go fast. It does say to answer even if both selections do not at all describe you. Sometimes they are both negative, sometimes they are both positive, and sometimes they are a mix.

Performance Based Measures Battery
“UAV” test (Spatial Apperception Test (SAT) replacement)


The “UAV” portion was in lieu of the Spatial Apperception Test (SAT). You are asked to put on the head set as it will ask you the same question both visually and auditory. You are given a topographic type map cut out on the screen, although the location or what the map represents doesn’t matter. On the map you are shown a red dot with a yellow arrow shown direction of travel of level flight. These directions are only in the cardinal directions and basic sub-directions, so N NE E SE S SW W NW. You are then shown next to the map a picture of a field hospital tent with four parking lots each in a cardinal direction, so North South East West, in what I can best describe as Super Nintendo style graphic. Depending on your approach to the target as given to you by the arrow on the topo map determines what parking lot is “the NORTH parking lot” or “the EAST parking lot.” You click the parking lot you think is right and it immediately tells you if you are correct or incorrect and the time it took you to answer. Yes this is a timed event; both reaction time and accuracy are graded I am assuming. Fear not though, there is a practice portion you can do as many times as you want, I think I did it about 30 times before I started. My reaction times when from 5 to 6 seconds down to 1 to 2 seconds once I got the hang of it.

Joy Stick Portion

This I found to be challenging as it involves accuracy and multitasking. The joystick I used that I think is standard is the Saitek X52. The buttons used are the trigger on the stick group and the one of two blue buttons on the throttle group. During the “emergency procedures” you use the two wheels around the both buttons on the throttle group, ill explain more in that section.

You start off with the throttle group. In a ¾ inch with bar with a black background and neon green borders on the left side of the screen it has a light brown basic silhouette of an airplane as viewed from the rear, so tail wings and a whole in the middle for and engine, almost looks like it would be an F-16. The figure goes up and down, differing speeds of course from easy to hard shifting direction at random. There is a basic cross arrow, plus sign with a circle, that you control up and down with the throttle. Your job is to keep it on the airplane as much as you can. Next you are given the stick group. The same airplane figure dances around a roughly 8x8 inch blank area. Again your job is to take the cross arrow and track the target. One thing I found was the joystick is inverted, to push it forward/ away goes down, and pulling back goes up on the screen. That is intuitive if they made it feel more like a flight sim, but it is just an icon on a black background surrounded by a green border, I felt like a mouse or the option for a non-inverted joystick would have been better. Each evolution last about 60 seconds with a short non-repeatable practice part in the beginning.

You do each tracking evolution separately then combine them doing both at the same time. They add a twist though; in the headset they play a series of letters and numbers at the same time, a different letter or number in each ear at the same time. So you may hear the letter “A” in you left ear and the number “5” in the right ear. They then tell you to only listen to a specified ear, left or right switching it in the middle of the tracking test. In all the scenarios they tell you to ignore the letters, but if you hear an even number in the click the trigger, and if you hear an odd number click a specified button on the throttle group. The one saving grace of this part is that the rate of letters and numbers thrown at you is about 2 seconds per letter/number and always at the same time. So it isn’t a jumbled mass, it is with some order. It does sound complicated but it is manageable. Someone who has already taken the test might try and make up a MP3 file simulating this.

I found that I was able to follow the auditory portion well and was fairly accurate with it despite clicking the wrong button when I heard an even number a few times, few being 4, 5 or 6 times overall. But trying to track the little airplane I found nearly impossible. As soon as I had the cross arrows anywhere near the figure, the plane would dart to the other side of the screen. I had my cross arrows on the target maybe 5% of the time, and that is a high estimate. I thought for sure I was going to get a poor score in this section because of that.

“Emergency Procedures” Section

You are given a chance to review three scenarios before the test. Engine Fire, Engine Failure, and a 3rd I cannot remember. You are told how to correct for each of the scenarios using the two rotating wheels surrounding the buttons on the throttle group. One is your mixture and one is your fuel flow I think. Scenario 1 “engine fire”- Mixture to min, Fuel to min. Scenario 2 “Engine failure”- Mixture to full, fuel to full. Scenario 3- Mixture to full, Fuel to middle. You are doing the tracking of the two airplanes in between and during the emergencies and it will ask you all three at different times. Take too long and the screen gradually fades to red, your dead.

So finally, if you lasted this long thru my spiel, are my final thoughts. Overall it was a challenging test but not overly hard. The time issues from the last version of the ASTB has been eased, the biggest advice I can give on that is work efficiently but don’t feel like you have to hurry or rush to get a section done because you think you are running out of time. Do not skip or guess if you can help it as you cannot go back and review questions and I think it is based more on if you get a certain number right anyway. Goes without saying but read the other post about the new ASTB as they helped me out a lot on what to expect. The books are still a good tool on what to expect for the OAR portion. Hope this wasn’t too long I tried to be as detailed as I could so you could build a good mental picture on what to expect. If any sections need further explanation or clarification shoot me a message or post. Oh, and my score all in all was a 65, 8, 8, 8. Also sorry that this is so long, I just saw it takes up a whole page.
Thank you so much!

Just took the ASTB-E this afternoon at got an 50 6/8/6. I'm going to try and relay my experience while it is still fresh.
I am majoring in systems engineering, while minoring in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, and naval science. My GPA is currently sitting at 3.13 and I am graduating in the fall. I have four letters of recommendation's from an active 0-4 E2-D NFO, retired 0-6 SWO, retired 0-6 Air Force navigator, and my program manager from BAE Systems.

Studied for about two weeks, relying solely on Peterson's Military Flight Aptitude Tests, Accepted Inc. ASTB-E, Baron's Prep Test, and Marine Gouge. I was slammed for the past two weeks with school work (currently taking 21 credits at University of Arizona), studied whenever I got the chance and slept very little. My method of preparation was to read the introductory material and then practicing the problems left and right. I felt super confident going into the exam. People say the exam is adaptive, and they are 100% correct.

Mathematics
Began with a lot of probability and variable solving-esque kind of questions. I was breezing through them and then out of nowhere, the infamous logarithm questions came up. I'm glad I had studied them beforehand because they kinda sat in the back of my mind for a couple semesters now. Just memorize the properties and the fundamentals and you will be fine. It was something like log_5 3=(x-4) and solve for x. Then, enter the even more infamous BINARY CODE. I'm not sure if many people experienced it on the math portion before (saw only one person mention it on here). This caught me by surprise because converting from decimal to binary isn't that difficult for me, it was how the question was worded. I ended up guessing the answer. The question was phrased "If base 2, 2 is written as 1 0. If base 4, what does 7+8 produce?" I ended up getting cut off with 13 minutes left. I would probably say the Accepted Inc ASTB-E book helped refreshing fundamentals, but I thought Baron's practice book was the closest in regards to the questions asked.

Reading
Like many people say on here, can't really study for this. I tried to practice the problems from the study guide, helped a little I guess, but the material is navy-dry. So just have to pierce into the screen and focus. I didn't end up finishing on time. Pay attention to minor words like "shall" or "may" cause they can really make a difference. Usually two of the answers could be easily eliminated, leaving two more to choose from. I found it helpful to read the question twice and then proceed to the answers and kept referring back and forth. There is only one passage for one question, so read quick but efficiently.

Mechanical
The ASTB gouge and the practice books are quite reliable here. This portion is relatively quick. The only calculations used were for fulcrum balancing problems. Every other were basic physic fundamentals. I finished this portion with about 7 minutes left to go. There were surprisingly a lot of circuit questions. Know stuff like waveguide, currents, resistors, and inductors. And also parallel configurations like which light bulbs will still light up if this switch is closed. There was another question about mass difference on the moon and on earth.

Aviation/ Nautical
This part I studied for the least. I have much knowledge pertaining this section, due to the number of naval science courses I have taken at school. Based on the books used, I was confident going into this portion. And there was a lot different material that was presented. Know the AvGas weight and how to calculate how much to empty if it is overweight by 80 pounds and what two categories the U.S. categorizes its airspace (either controlled, uncontrolled or IFR,VFR). Know the general airspace classes and history of WWII naval fighters. I also was cut off early here.

UAV
Simple. There are flashcards on this thread. Practice them over and over again. The biggest obstacle for me was visualizing from NE and NW directions since SE and SW all you had to do was tilt your head slightly. I might have only gotten two wrong.

Performance Based Measures
So... I was taking the dichotics portion, accidentally pressed the trigger while reading it and started the section. I didn't know which button was for even and odds. So, I tanked this portion. . . Just don't go trigger happy like I was and you will be fine. At this point, I thought all was lost, I was so upset. I just had to keep going on, there was no way to stop the exam.
The spatial portion was not bad. I previously have taken the ASTB in February and we used the Saitek X52 joystick and throttle. This time I got to use the HOTAS Cougar. Just got lucky, but it made controls much easier for me. There was more feel and grip, although the throttle was HUGE and became difficult reaching the clutch button at times.
The scenario portions is the grand finale. Really take your time to read the instructions, write down what to do for each scenario. So when you are in the midst of using the joystick and throttle, you don't have to stop and think more than you have to. I referred to it a lot. There are three scenarios. Engine fire, engine malfunction, and propeller malfunction? Anyways, they test each one once. So you have to configure it three times. I remember seeing a couple pages on this thread about someone creating a MATLAB code to practice for the joystick and throttle portion. If you understand, MATLAB I suggest looking into it. May be of help. I didn't have enough time to look into it.

So . . . at this point I was scared shitless because of not even doing the dichotics portion. I thought I was going to get lower than my initial score. When I saw that PFAR 8, I was just glad that I scored that high. I don't know how, but I'm not going to question it. I was hopeless and Jesus literally took the throttle.

My recruiter emphasized that the PFAR will carry me far and that my OAR is slightly above average. I am in the process of now starting my motivational letter and getting all the other paper work done. So once again, letting Jesus take the stick.

Hey Great Gouge @Jordan Lo . I really appreciate it I'm going to retake the exam soon and this really helps. I have a question for you regarding the ANIT section. I remember the question about how much fuel to dump and I still have no idea how to go about answering that question? Would you be able to explain how to do that? Also through research Ive seen that AvGas weight can vary. Some places say its 7.1 Ive also seen 8.0? How did you determine this.
My last question for you is about the emergency scenario. Did the knobs on the throttle work for you, allow you. I just remember my screen going red, and that was the only way I knew something was wrong? What were you paying attention to to figure out that you had to do something to fix either the engine fire, engine malfunction, propeller malfunction?
Much appreciated! and best of luck.
