Hello everyone!
I just came across this forum about 2 days ago. I'm scheduled to take the OAR on the 2/21 and I'm nervous as hell. I graduated from college with a 3.0 with a BS in MIS... 10 years ago. Most of my career has been in the finance sector where I am a System Admin. I have an opportunity to join in under IT so I have been studying to the best of my ability for a few months now. I've ordered the 5 LB GRE book, OAR Secrets Study Guide from Mometrix, ASTB Study Guide 2018, and I have the Master The ASVAB (23rd Ed) books along with other testing sites like Trivium Test Prep, Peterson's Practice, and Khan Academy or ASVAB android apps.
I feel like the Reading Comprehension in the GRE is overkill compared to everything else I have been reading. Would others agree?
I know Math is Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Data Analysis... but do the math problems lean word based or straight computation?
As far as Mechanical, it is looking like I'm lacking here up until I hit circuits/current/voltage/etc. Are these questions with pictures or is a lot of it written out for computation?
Can I take blank paper and pencil with me?
Many thanks in advance! This site is fantastic so far!
