Today July 9 2004 I took the ASTB in St. Louis. My test was test 1 Version 3. Apparently what they are doing now is putting out three versions (3/4/5) of the test and I had to wite in what version I had. The test was so new that there were horrendous typos in it. One question asked which number was closest to a number and they gave you 4 choices (i.e. A}. 0.003 B}. 0.03 etc.) but they didn't give you the number to compare it with, it was blank. I was a major guinea pig here. My first test booklet was missing the last 15 questions of the mechanical part of the test, I had to get a new test. Some new changes are that the math and verbal are now separated into two sections with 30 question each. The Spatial Apperception was 25 questions with 10 minutes to do it (I finished in 8 mins so thats not a problem). The biggest problem was the aviation/nautical section. The handout helped a little but only about 50%. Mechanical section was a peice of cake (no monkey and pulley question). Another thing is that there is a new 34 question "Aviation Supplemental Test". You are given 25 minutes to complete it and I finished in very quick time. What is contained in this section is a mixture of math, verbal, mechanical, and aviation/nautical questions mixed all up together in one section. My Cpt. told me that they don't take this score into consideration for flight school so I don't know what the purpose is unless it is used for borderline scores. I will update you guys with my scores when I get them. I actually feel pretty good about it. I'm dog tired now though so later tonight or most likely tomorrow I will post on here some study tips and a few of the questions that I remember.
