I just got my results back and scored fairly high thanks in some part to this vid! Tip#4 Test Fast is the biggest one imo. There were times I felt like I didn’t even have time to erase wrong answers
The test is now digital! I personally took it my first time digital. I had a few friends that took both, paper and digital. They said you have so much extra time since you don’t have to fill in the scantron. Just a heads up
Hey. Cadet here. I'm taking my AFOQT soon and I know a lot of places gave testers whiteboards with thick markers to use a scrap paper for their test, which they've said is horrible. Does the same apply to the electronic version? Or do you get some sort of digital/normal paper scrap paper to use? Thanks!
Man I'm about to take this test a third time, and my goodness it's quite the rollercoaster! I last took this test in 2018 where I scored very well in everything except for vocab section. Thanks to superscoring I don't need to put as much energy into all the areas, however I do still want to score higher in pilot so I am practicing the hell out of vocab, math knowledge and table reading
@Rheale M. I had to aquire sufficient flight hours which in my case was around 50 or so, and write up an MFR with flight hours as justification. And then have that signed by my Group commander who is an O-6
I’m currently studying for the test, but I’ve been having a hard time trying to stay focused or study for 30 minutes to an hour. Would you mind dropping any tips on how you studied for the test or retaining information throughout your study session? Thank you!!
not sure if this is still helpful but something I do is try to bring my focus back if my mind keeps wandering after the 3rd time, then I take a break. Check in with yourself, do you need: water, food, been sitting too long, too much energy (just do a quick workout or try walking and studying if you can), or you just can't seem to study even if you take a break change activities for 10-20 minutes just something you really want to do, be happy/satisfied with it and try to study again (for me personally I would try to set my goal on time spent on the activity and not finishing activity or setting goals like if you wanna build your house in a video game, this honestly was one of the hardest things for me to figure out when i was younger). Your tolerance to studying should build up from there and eventually you'll be doing 2 hour sessions (I don't recommend studying past 2 hours straight make sure to take a break during that time but its also situational and up to you if you got momentum and want to keep going do it, but be willing to take a break if your going past 2 hours [something i struggled with a lot lol]) Hopefully this helps! GL on your exams!
Thank you for the video, I found it very helpful. Could you explain why you chose to fill in ‘C’ for any time that you either didn’t know the answer or were about to run out of time? Why not A, B, or D, or a combination?
It probably doesn't matter. Each option should have the same likelihood of being correct. Some people believe that on any standardize test, C has a slightly higher chance of being the correct answer. These days, they just randomize the answer choices anyway, so really I just do it out of habit.
Will I have to take the AFOQT if I have a degree In healthcare management? I heard if you have a professional degree in health, ministry or law, I wouldn't be required to take it.
Is that a bachelor's? I'm pretty sure what they mean by "Professional degree in health" is something like an MD or DDS. A bachelor's in healthcare management wouldn't count and I'm pretty sure (but not certain) that a master's in healthcare management wouldn't count either but you'd have to ask someone more informed than me; I decided not to commission and went to law school instead.
@@timwoolard1465 oh okay, so from my understanding ill need a masters? The information on it is very low and I'm was trying to see if there was a bypass for the afoot, if not ill definitely just prepare myself for it. I seen somewhere it said professional license, so maybe if I do get a bachelors in ministry, law or healthcare. Then get a pro license then maybe but idk. Thank You for the input I appreciate it.
What job or sector are you going to transition into, since you said you're leaving the AF? Thanks for the good vid, its probably the best one I've seen on the topic.
The minimum scores are percentile scores. For example, the minimum required score for Verbal is 15, which means you need to score higher than 15% of the other test-takers to whom your score is compared. A score of 50 is considered average.
I don’t know if you’ll see this but I take the AFOQT this Friday with the goal of being a pilot. I am extremely nervous about the math part because it isn’t my strong suit. The book I bought makes the math part seem very hard while all online practice stuff makes it seem not terrible. Which do you think is more accurate? I feel very confident on all aviation related stuff. Thank you
Maybe the book is 100% focused on the 10% of questions that are actually difficult. From what I remember, the math section isn't super challenging. But at this point, it's been some time since I've taken the test.
I was active duty so I didn't need to go through a recruiter to schedule it. I'm assuming they will allow you to take the time you need to do well, but I don't know much about the process.
Yo saw your video we went to basic together! I'm taking the test in the next two weeks second attempt passed verbal just need a better score in the math part made the mistake in the first attempt to literally try to solve all the math questions and ran out of time I have studied continually for a year though, just need to memorize my formulas
I wanted to go with the Air Force so that I can become a commercial pilot. But instead I will choose to get into Purdue, and study aviation there and get my licenses rather then serve time for the army.
I was planning on doing a program that allows you to earn your bachelor's while you're still enlisted and then commission. You just have to be able to obtain your bachelor's within two years.
@@timwoolard1465got ya, glad you went through what was best for you. I’m in rotc right now and had to take this test twice after failing horribly the first time. Hopefully I can commission and join big blue. Hope everything with law school works out for you 🫡
Bruh you should have joined under Trump we had no wars and we got pay raises every 2 weeks. Under this president this is the worst time in history to join the military 😄
"This isnt a test you study for, its a test you practice for" Definitely the best sentence in this video
YES!

In ur opinion how hard was it and how did you score ?

How are you taking it a third time

How did it go?
@@danstevens64 I passed all the sections, and since Vocab went to 47, my CSO and ABM scores were 76 each
Hi, do you know which column from the table refers to subtests required for non-rated jobs?
I’m currently studying for the test, but I’ve been having a hard time trying to stay focused or study for 30 minutes to an hour. Would you mind dropping any tips on how you studied for the test or retaining information throughout your study session? Thank you!!
I also struggle to stay focused. I feel like it's a lot of information being thrown at me at once.
not sure if this is still helpful but something I do is try to bring my focus back if my mind keeps wandering after the 3rd time, then I take a break.

I'm nearly done with my degree in mechanical engineering at UT San Antonio. I'll use my GI bill to finish it.
@@timwoolard1465 Did you like UT San Antonio? I do know they just got some stuff built.
The required scores seem incredibly low, which probably doesn’t translate to what you SHOULD get.
What do you think is a good score to shoot for?
The scores you should get are definitely much higher, but I've never gone up for OTS so I'm not sure what a good target is.
The minimum scores are percentile scores. For example, the minimum required score for Verbal is 15, which means you need to score higher than 15% of the other test-takers to whom your score is compared. A score of 50 is considered average.
This ws very helpful. I take the test two Mondays from now.
Hi thanks for the info ! Question ., do they provide a sheet with formulas ? Area ,. Conversions etc
I don't think so, but I don't think there are any conversions that are really necessary.
@@timwoolard1465 thanks for the info ! How long you recommend to study for the test ?
Do they offer the test in the afternoon or the evening? I hope so. I think better then.

@@timwoolard1465 thanks for the response!
How on earth did you casually score an 87 on the pilot section. I studied and got a 35 🤦🏾♂️
Dude you’re telling me I actually have my pilot license and I scored 66.
How did you take the AFOQT with an associates degree thought u had to have a bachelors ?
While a bachelor's degree is required to commission, there is no education requirement to take the test.
You should probably just get a bachelors.
Great video! After talking to my recruiter, can I choose when to take this test so I can prepare for it?
I was active duty so I didn't need to go through a recruiter to schedule it. I'm assuming they will allow you to take the time you need to do well, but I don't know much about the process.
Do you get a calculator or just a blank sheet of paper??
Calculators are not allowed. You are given scratch paper.
Yo saw your video we went to basic together! I'm taking the test in the next two weeks second attempt passed verbal just need a better score in the math part made the mistake in the first attempt to literally try to solve all the math questions and ran out of time I have studied continually for a year though, just need to memorize my formulas
gl gl
Thank you for the information.
What's the hardest math you came across?
The AFOQT math sections involve algebra and geometry. Know how to factor polynomials.
Do they give you a conversion sheet?
Pearson - yes.
You’re out of the airforce now?? Did you ever become an officer??
I wanted to go with the Air Force so that I can become a commercial pilot. But instead I will choose to get into Purdue, and study aviation there and get my licenses rather then serve time for the army.
Associate’s degree? I thought it was all Bachelor’s?
I was planning on doing a program that allows you to earn your bachelor's while you're still enlisted and then commission. You just have to be able to obtain your bachelor's within two years.
@@timwoolard1465you talking about rotc?
I see how got that couch at IKEA. I know it well.
You ever commissioned?
I ended up separating, finishing my bachelor's in math, and now I'm applying to law school. I realized the military wasn't for me.
@@timwoolard1465got ya, glad you went through what was best for you. I’m in rotc right now and had to take this test twice after failing horribly the first time. Hopefully I can commission and join big blue. Hope everything with law school works out for you 🫡
Bruh you should have joined under Trump we had no wars and we got pay raises every 2 weeks. Under this president this is the worst time in history to join the military 😄
Trump will be back
Pay raises every 2 weeks? No wars? Umm…what military branch were you in during this time? 🥴
