Took the ASTB for the 3rd and final time today. Scored a 49 5/7/6. My recruiter was happy with my scores saying I needed a 5/6/6 to qualify. I felt this was the hardest version of the test I have taken yet and my OAR showed it. Just want to thank everyone on here for the help! Fingers crossed!

I just took the ASTB for the first time about 4 hours ago. Thought I would post before it all faded. I had to post on here as it helped me immensely in studying and doing decently well on the test. I have been studying for 6 months with most of the studying coming in the last 3 weeks. I work a job that is 3 12 hour shifts and then I had 4 days off to study. I used Mostly online materials that I found from this site and Googling the rest. I bought the complete ASTB Study guide and it was good but information found on this thread was way better.
61 OAR 6/6/7 My goal was above 60 and 7's across the board. Was close to my goal.
I study super hard for the Math section which helped my score the most. Know how to deal with fractions of fractions (I had one question that said if a farmer donates 1/8 of his crops to charity and he raised 2 and 1/2 tons how many tons did he donate.), know your times tables and get good at working out problems with out a calculator. There were a couple of Speed questions if they drove 45 mph for 40 min and 34 mph for 20 min and then they drove 10 mph slower then the average of the first two legs what was the speed of the second leg. Things like that.
The RCT was way tougher than I thought it would be. The questions had lots of big words and dry they did not paint a picture just facts. Read military history and sum up each paragraph. Read a lot.
The MCT was not similar to things I had studied. There were a lot less pictures and more words like if you have a 2 stroke engine how many times does the piston compress or something like that. They were wordy questions about mechanical comprehension.
The Aviation and Nautical terms ended really early or at least felt like that. Just know your aviation terms and nautical terms basic. Not to bad.
The UAV Portion was really fun to me. Get quick at the compass rose trick and then practice doing that mentally with out the compass. Average about 1-3 seconds.
The last portion was way hard for me. I haven't played video games in a long time it was like trying to ride a bike and having no experience riding a bike. I was all over the place and forgot that up was down and down was up. vertical tracking was not responsive and then the more i pushed forward it became uber responisve. then add your dichotic listening in I would forget what I was doing and forget to push buttons. they did speak slower than I thought they would.
Sorry for the long response. Study Math in depth. Sorry I forgot to tell you my background. I have a bachelors from BYU-Idaho in Health Science was planning to go to Physician Assistant School but felt my calling was in the Military specifically Becoming a Pilot. My GPA was 3.5.

A paper version hasn’t existed in 5 years now...

Anyone have any updates as to whether or not the ASTB system is back online? Or possibly when it might be?

Hi Guys,
I took my OAR/ASTB this morning but I didn’t do as well as I had wanted. I was a business major in college and achieved a 3.72 GPA (Magna Cum Laude honors).
The scores I received today were 47/5/6/5...
How do you think I will stack up?
