I swear, every single person that asks my advice to getting accepted and has a low astb score, REFUSES to retake the ASTB. The astb it one of the most critical aspects of a package, and 2-3 nights of studying some gouge for an hour or two can make the difference between a 40 and a 60 (it did for me, brought my 45 up to a 60). You can't bring your gpa up over 3 hours of work, nor can you bring anything else besides the ASTB up in that amount of time. For such a small investment (a few hours of your time) you can DRASTICALLY improve your chances of selection. Why send a weak astb score off to the boards, and potentially delay selection by MONTHS (literally, a month at least to get reviewed and denied by the boards, redo your package and ASTB, resubmit, wait another month), all the meanwhile, you could just study and retake it in a matter of a week, and make sure that your package is the "best it can be." <pardon the army saying. This isn't directed towards you smallz, or anyone in particular, its just a little common sense that will hopefully help everyone.
