I'm taking the ASTB next tuesday and I realized I'm not quite sure what the abbreviations mean (eg. PFAR, OAR, etc). Which ones are weighted most heavily to gain a SNA slot?

Q: What are these arbitrary grades?
A: Six scores are taken from your ASTB test. The first five areas are graded on a curve with one (1) being the minimum score and nine (9) being the highest. The OAR is irrelevant for NROTC Midshipmen. These are the categories and possible scores:
AQR: Academic Qualification Rating 1 - 9
PFAR: Pilot Flight Aptitude Rating 1 - 9
FOFAR: Flight Officer Flight Aptitude Rating 1 - 9
PBI: Pilot Biographical Inventory 1 – 9 (Not Used Anymore)
FOBI: Flight Officer Biographical Inventory 1 – 9 (Not Used Anymore)
OAR: Officer Aptitude Rating 20 – 80 (Not Used for NROTC/Academy)
Q: What do they mean?
A: The three AQR, PFAR, and FOFAR scores predict future performance. AQR=Academics and FAR=Cockpit performance.
Hope this helps....
