I used two different study guides, both the one that he suggests and the SIFT SECRETS study guide. The former was definitely better though. My tips for you would be to do the hidden figures and reaction time practices several times to train your brain, but they aren’t THAT important. I only got through about half of the hidden figures and 80 of the shapes but still got my score. Make sure to read through every little bit of the aviation knowledge portion of the study guide, it helped me a lot
74. Damn I thought I did good with a 70, pretty sure youre 99th percentile for sure. They say the avg is 50. I got 98 of the simple drawings with 2 wrong and 22 of the hidden figures.
I just passed by SIFT test with a 58 and all thanks to you! I would watch your videos constantly and then read the FFA helicopter book. I can not thank you enough, Jacob!
I took the test in 1980, it was 500 questions and similar to the AF test. Before I could submit my packet the test itself changed to the FAST, 200 questions. 100 personality and 100 technical. The technical questions were broken down into several subcategories similar to the SIFT. I got a 122, minimum for the application was 110. In the end I had a 21 year career in the Army, and 19 in the civilian field and defense contractor industry
8 year vet army infantry. Just recently decided to shift my focus and energy on becoming a warrant officer and attend flight school. Just watching your videos made it seem like this child hood dream of mine could become a reality. Thank you
I took the SIFT in July with only less than two weeks to study and between the prep books and watching these videos on the way to Fort Irwin, I got a 68!
I used your channel, the newest SIFT study guide, and Kahn Academy to review algebra and scored a 66 on the SIFT today. Thanks for all the great content!
@@oKevn just algebra basics course. Did foundations and expressions. You need to be able to do multiplication, division, adding and subtracting of fractions and decimals on scratch paper. That's what I remember helping the most.
When I took the test in 1984 it was called the FAST, or Flight Apptitude Standards Test. Passing was 80 and I got a 111. There were no study guides but I did manage to get ahold of a practice test. which i took so many times I could do it in my sleep. It looks like things have gotten a lot more complicated now.
Glad to see you back Jacob, this video is a little late for my SIFT but your other videos helped plenty. I’m heading to WOCS in two months and to flight school shortly after. Keep up the content.
Honestly it was the hidden figures, which is strange because on every price of study material I looked at that was my strongest section. However on the actual test It was tough seeing them and I felt like the test made it a lot harder to see the shapes. That five minute timer doesn’t take long to tick down either. It did seem like they got easier after five questions in.
Great videos - very helpful. I got a 67 on the SIFT. I watched these videos, used the study guide linked as well as the momentrix study guide and the SIFT Tutoring app in the Apple App Store which was really helpful.
Been watching your videos for a couple months now, and they helped me so much! Just passed with a 67! Thank you for taking the time to make all these!!
Is there any program that you recommend that mimics the SIFT test questions pretty accurately and timed sections to practice taking the test? Thanks! Love your videos 🙌🏻🚁
Just wanted to say thank you for all the detail you put into your videos! I watched through most of the content you put out and can confidently say it really augmented my personal study process and definitely played a part in me being able to get a passing score on the SIFT.
Thank you for making those video!you videos used to help me out how to taught to student when I was CFI,got a little knowledge out after fly couple years commercial tour,now I'm moving forward my career hopefully become army aviator,because of not a citizen have to enlist first,go through bct ait airborne school,finally station Bragg and have changes start the WOCS process,thank you for the awesome explanation and study material,I will keep watch you videos for refresh and comment you in November how it goes!
Just passed with a 62, these videos helped a lot! The test was pretty difficult overall. As much as I studied, I still wish I studied more! But it's definitely achievable. Buy the study guide he recommends too, it helped quite a bit as well.
@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 I recently got TC 3-04.4 fundamentals of flight. Would both the TC and SIFT study guide be sufficient enough to study for the SIFT and if so what chapter's in the TC should I focus on?
Focus on the basic aerodynamics portion. The biggest focus should be understanding the basics of how helicopters fly. Check out some of my videos if you get stuck on any subject. That plus a SIFT study guide or 2 should be good.
I would check with flight doc or a Military Entrance Processing Station to check first. I know PRK was supposed to be ok. LASIK depended on a few factors. I’m honestly not sure about ICL.
Does anybody know what the SAT portion looks like on the actual test. like is it the one with a jet or with the helicopter. Because one is 50 times more difficult.
Good afternoon! Can anyone explain the banking in Spatial Apperception for me?? If the horizontal line slopes from top left to bottom right, wouldn’t the aircraft be banking right??
Negative. If the craft is banking right, your right side will be lower & closer to the ground. From your perspective the right side of the horizon will be higher in the viewfinder or the 2d square representation.
I’m worried for simple drawings and time on a computer with it. Do you have to click a bubble then hit next? Or when you click the answer does it immediately move to the next one? I find I’m quick on paper but I’m worried about computer testing for this one.
Just passed my SIFT with a 74! Couldn’t have done it without these videos, wish me luck at the board!
What material did you use to study and what tips do you have before pursing the test

Great feedback! And congrats again on passing and getting selected.
Passed my SIFT with a 66. Great source of info! Studied for 4 weeks! THANK YOU!
I passed yesterday with a 66, math refresher videos, these videos, study guide and you’ll be fine
Just passed my test with 66. Thank you so much! You are a gift!
I just took the SIFT and passed with a 71. I could have not done it without Jacob’s help. Couldn’t thank him enough
Thanks for the help

I watched your videos the day before my test and got a 63! Thank you!!
Great to have you back teaching again! Thanks for your service.
These videos are awesome man, I just scored a 68 and your videos helped immensely. Thank you 🙏
Welcome back ! Thank you for your service. I really enjoy your video's
Whats the difference between the rotorcraft flunking hand book and helicopter flying handbook?
Is there any program that you recommend that mimics the SIFT test questions pretty accurately and timed sections to practice taking the test? Thanks! Love your videos 🙌🏻🚁

About how far into the FAA rotoray handbook, should we read into?

@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 thanks!
I'm absolutely fascinated by anything rotary wing.
Dumb question. Is there a penalty for not completing all the questions in the given time, or is it more about correct vs incorrect?
Are the pictures that big for the simple drawings section?
Would recommend the study guide you used in this video?
I would. It has great study, practice, and explanation sections. I put it and a few others linked below

59 on my SIFT, thank you for the awesome videos! :)
Great job!
I’m getting ICL surgery, would I be able to still do this ?
I would check with flight doc or a Military Entrance Processing Station to check first. I know PRK was supposed to be ok. LASIK depended on a few factors. I’m honestly not sure about ICL.
@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 well I’m 38 , I just saw I might not be able to , I’m too old , I’m not sure if they have waivers .
@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 I guess I’ll have to find out when I get the chance .
Is there a specific amount of time in service you need left on a contract to drop a flight packet?
Not time remaining. Once your packet is accepted and you complete flight school there will be a 10 year ADSO (Additional Service Obligation).
Can u do the sift before going to colleges to become a wo?
Does anybody know what the SAT portion looks like on the actual test. like is it the one with a jet or with the helicopter. Because one is 50 times more difficult.
I am wondering if you need any previous aviation experience to pass this test?
You don’t. Many people pass it with no aviation background whatsoever.
@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 Hey appreciate you getting back with me!
Is it better to enlist and then transfer to WOFT or get flight hours and then go for woft? I’m currently getting my rotorcraft private license
If you want to fly, apply for a street to seat spot. Don't enlist first.
@@wolfpackredneck Street to seat doesnt exist anymore
@@mjsmith570 I wasn't aware of that.
@@mjsmith570 pretty sure it does
Awesome guide.
Here to increase visibility on TH-cam, my self in other branch flight school :)
Can't wait for Nav portion.
Itssss baacckkk🔥🔥

this is not a tutorial on scale invariant feature transform

I haven’t seen the test in years. I’ll defer that to someone in the channel who has taken recently.
I’m scheduled to take mine in couple weeks, thank you for all your videos! Broaden up my mind
brilliant ; listen grasshopper
