I quick, but unauthenticated google search, says around 150-250 SNA for attrition purposes. Could be more or could be less. assuming the best case scenario of 250/6 that would be 40 per board give or take. This is an estimated number thoughI’m sorry to ask if this is somewhere on this website, how many SNA’s get selected each year? Or is it too dynamic to gauge. I saw you put 60 as an example
You also have to remember that people are going ISEL throughout the year too.I quick, but unauthenticated google search, says around 150-250 SNA for attrition purposes.

I believe that number is taking into account everything. ISEL is just directly taking a slot from the available slots for the FYYou also have to remember that people are going ISEL throughout the year too.
What type of math did you get if you don't mind me asking?I wanna say Thank You to everyone that answers and personally answered my questions on before I took my exam! You guys are awesome.
I just took my test today, 45 5/9/7.
(What is the LCAC? I got a 80?)
Recruiter didn’t seem very optimistic due to the 5 so I will probably have to go again eventually it seems. But I also got a 9 maybe they balance out. I also have a 3.25 GPA
Math - Don’t use just solely the ASTB App for math, I did a lot of custom tests but there’s so much content that I was focusing on stuff I didn’t ever do. FYI, I went into this knowing math will be my weakness.
Reading - I felt I did good, but I ran out of time but I had to be close to the end. It’s one of those where you have to read the passage like 6 times do fully understand it.
Mech - I also only used the app for this. Like people said it’s only on concepts, no math. But unfortunately the concepts were niche and not heavily relevant on the app. I didn’t get to finish but close. I felt I did bad
ANIT - I aced this. It was very very very easy. I regret studying so much on this. It only let me answer 7 questions. I had ZERO Navy aircraft, ships, history. All I had were naval parts of ships and parts of aircraft and movements. It was almost too easy.
NATFI- You will want to be honest, but it will force you to lie eventually. It fascinates me on how it can figure if you are lying or not. Just do which one is less of a lie or more of a truth.
PBM- INVEST IN THE APP - I used the compass trick and got perfect with like 1.25 average time.
For the terrain association, it’s easier on test. A lot of straight lines and simpler maps. I personally use the my finger as North and put my finger on the same location on the other uncoordinated to dictate which direction. I def didn’t miss any.
Dichotoc listening is just like app. Not very hard I felt.
Joystick and Throttle- I invested in a thrustmaster and it glad I did. I felt I did pretty good. On the app I average 40-45% with a best at 48% locked percentage.
For emergency situations, I missed one but I thought it was the practice test until I realized it was the actual test. That was probably my only flaw during the whole simulations and ANIT I felt.
First off you guys are great. Once a day I would read the forum and it did more for me than any practice worksheet.
I just took my test today, 45 5/6/6. Applying for SNA
Have not heard back from recruiter so I am not optimistic about my scores (first attempt btw). I have 5 years of flight experience and a bachelor of science above a 3.0 so I hope it helps.
Math - DO. NOT. RUSH. I was kicked out with 20 minutes to go thinking I had to fly through them. Was given geometry, algebra, and probability.
Reading - BORING. All passages were about military talk for boring procedures. Felt good but wanted it to end.
Mech - Easier than I thought. No math all theory. Got stumped on some electrical stuff with AC and DC currents.
ANIT - I have a big flight background but the boat terms got me.
NATFI- I don't get the point of this
PBM-
Missed 2 on the UAV with about 1.5ish seconds. ASTB app made this easy.
For the terrain association, it’s easier on test. A lot of straight lines and simpler maps.
Dichotic listening is just like app. The headset at the testing center blew out my ears it was so loud. Tilt your head to the target ear.
Joystick and Throttle- I did not use a thrustmaster at home. It started easy with just throttle and slowly added more till you had your hands full with multi tasking. Get busy with your scan, do not focus on just the flying plane or the throttle, be busy.
I missed the first emergency situation. I feel if I memorized it rather then reading what I wrote down it would have been faster.
Final thoughts:
Should I retest? Any thoughts? Trying to apply for August board. I believe the ASTB is a test of merit to see if you are willing to dedicate studying time and energy. They might be trying to see if you want it bad enough and are the "studying type". I will continue to monitor the Excel sheet and the forum on if I need a retest.
