Hello everyone,
I took the OAR portion of the ASTB today, June 5, 2020, at Great Lakes and unfortunately I only managed to score a 32. I'm fully confident I excelled on reading and my mechanical comprehension knowledge was average. Math, however, was my weakest subject. Many questions on the exam didn't reflect on the materials recommended on the site. There was a heavy focus on conversion and fraction word problems. I'm screwed because my recruiter said the board meets on August 17th to review applications for the Surface Warfare program. I have to retake the exam after July 7th; I need to score at least a 50.
Here's what I studied...
Thank you all for taking the time to assist me as well as your service to our country. Please be safe and healthy during this situation.
