1,001 questions about the ASTB (post your scores & ask your questions here!)

Congrats! Those are great scores! I take my last attempt Friday, do you have anything that helped as finish up studying for these last couple of days? Anything that you think helped you score higher?
I'm working on a longer gouge post, but for now I saw your past posts said you mainly needed to work on your PBM part. The best thing for me was what everyone else did. Just buying an X52 and practicing on Jantzen's. You can just return it after the test. I would do the second highest difficulty, and have the ASTB prep app dichotic listening going at the same time (the Jantzen listening is not like the test). Putting the audio on fast, and intervals to 0.5 got me well prepared. The app doesn't switch the target ear, so I would just wait until 30 seconds left and switch the ear I was listening too. I think I averaged like 150-170 on the Jantzen side, and I would always make sure to get 95% or up on the dichotic listening (since its the most important on the test). I also ran through the emergency scenarios on Jantzen a few times, its very similar to the real test. Just make sure you write the scenarios down, and I propped mine up infront of the monitor during the test so I didn't have to look down or away from the screen. For the UAV I bought the TBAS study pro game on steam. Thanks to Szalona who told me it was pretty much an exact copy of the test, it was. If you need to improve the UAV score I would suggest you just buy that game. It functions the same way as the Prep App, but I think the visuals looking the same as the test helped me.

If you feel you need more time I would say just push it out a couple weeks or a month (I rescheduled mine). Especially since its your last attempt. If you have any other questions you can message me. I'm at work right now, but i'll answer everything when I get out.
 
Hey guys I have my test coming up soon and I have wrote on the other parts of this forum in regards to the best practice for the simulation portion I have been using the jantzenx one but was wondering what stick and throttles yall use for that ?

Use the X52, same one as the test.
 
Wanted to pass along something I was told today in case anyone else is waiting on upcoming SNA boards.

I reached out to a Navy Officer Program Manager regarding the recent Pilot board cancellations and was told that regular Pilot packages will not be looked at again until May 2027 because the FY is currently booked out for the designator.

The exceptions mentioned were ISEL applicants and current students applying through BDCP.

Definitely not the news I was expecting to hear, especially with how far out May 2027 is. I imagine there are a lot of people currently studying for the ASTB or already working on their packages who were expecting to apply much sooner.

Figured I would pass this along since I know there has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding the canceled Pilot boards and when selections would resume.
