I just retook the OAR this morning and got a 44. I am pretty bummed to say the least. I had about 2 weeks of studying as my kit got returned with the OAR score being raised. My recruiter and I decided it was a good decision to retake and still be able to make the September board (Intel). Needless to say, I will miss this board, but now I have ample study time and a more refreshed memory of what I need to work on for my final attempt of the OAR. 90 day countdown starts now.
Just a side note...I have a history of being horrible with standardized tests. I took the ACT 3 times and scored the same every time (28). The SAT I scored roughly the same twice. If you give me a problem outside the test setting I am fine. Any advice to help me break this pattern? I read questions thoroughly and narrow down my answer choices. I think maybe I start reading too much into certain questions that are actually really simple and then it all goes down hill from there.
