Does anyone know which subsections of the test relate to which scores? OAR/AQR/PFAR/FOFAR? I just took the ASTB for the 2nd time today and got the same exact score as my first (7/6/6) after practicing the PBM for a month using the X52 and Jantzen sim scoring mid 80s consistently on a monitor larger than the one at the testing station. I did way better on the tracking and dichotic as well as the UAV portion. I got 5 or 6 incorrect UAV questions the first time and only 1 incorrect the second time. This is leading me to believe Math reading and mechanical are related to the PFAR and FOFAR but that doesn’t make sense because I didn’t study those at all this time around but my OAR went up 4 points. Feeling super discouraged right now, especially because I feel like I did way better on the PBM but it didn’t show for shit.
This is what
@Hopeful Hoya has found and posted before.
"Found this on the interwebs and figured I'd post it for people trying to improve their scores.
Academic Qualifications Rating (AQR): This score is affected by performance on all subtests, but the strongest influence is made by the Math Skills Test.
Pilot Flight Aptitude Rating (PFAR): This score is affected by performance on all subtests, but the greatest contribution is made by the Aviation & Nautical Info and Spatial Apperception Tests.
Flight Officer Flight Aptitude Rating (FOFAR): This score is affected by performance on all subtests, but the strongest influence is made by the Math Skills Test.
Officer Aptitude Rating (OAR): This score is affected by performance on the first three subtests, Math Skills, Reading Comprehension, and Mechanical Comprehension.
So for SNA/SNFO hopefuls, especially focus on the Math, Aviation History, and UAV sections.
