That just depends on you. I studied over the period of several months to get caught up on all the subjects and I had been out of school for a couple years so I needed a good refresher. I've heard some people say they took around 6 months to study for it.
Update: Enlisted members can take it up to three times now, and if you do worse on a certain section compared to the previous time they allow you to keep the better score. But the goal is to do well the first time obviously.
It’s my turn, glad I found this. 10yr Fast Burner. I attribute this to be older when I joined. Always been worried about the transition.. did well with that I am doing. But.. it’s time. Ready to make the transition. Been working at a very high level and fortunately have been in very unique positions of leadership and challenges. I had an awakening.. when I am advising the SR.. it’s time to go. Hopefully I get selected. Shout out to all that made the transition.
@8:55 They are accepting super scores now. Meaning, if you take the AFOQT twice, the highest scores will be taken from each test to combine into one. Just a heads up to the people out there. This is a change from November 2019.
The links in the description are useful for practice tests. Get the physical book if you can. I take the test next month but I'm confident in my success because of the tools provided. Thanks my guy!
Solid material. Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed the part where you mentioned the time management: Story of my life. Every time I figure out a technique or learn someone's habit I get hooked. I have a question: When jumping around a section (skipping more difficult questions), where you able to come back with enough time and complete everything? I have been practicing for a few months now and I can't manage to finish some sections 100%, something always holds me back. I will begin skipping those and coming back at the end with my spare time. Thanks again for this material. I'll check out your other content.
Sorry off topic-Love the Dave Ramsey book in the background- I have the same one. I just have one question- is it more difficult to get into the airforce because of the afoqt and asvab score requirements? Thank you and great video! 👍
I wouldn’t say more difficult. There are so many jobs that you can qualify for depending on your scores. Obviously the more technical the job, the higher the score is normally required. However, some jobs focus more on mechanical or electrical scores then admin scores. A pilot score normally requires a higher score then a general officer like Admin, Logistics, etc. Hope that helps some!!!
Great video. Two questions. How helpful (close to the test) were the maths in the two books you have mentioned, I haven't had a math class in 12 years. 2nd question, I thought there were 5 multiple choices, is this a recent change?
The math was very similar to practice problems in the books. I was in the same boat as you far as not taking math in a long time. If you refresh on basic algebra and geometry equations you should be fine. I focused too much on studying for algebra and the geometry caught me off guard during the test. I thought most of the questions had 4 answers to choose from, but I could be wrong. I guess I was thinking about most Air Force test I’ve taken that only has 4 answers.
Great video, just got done mine today, boy it was harrrrrrd. I've taken GRE, GMAT, ASVAB and aced all of them, but bombed the AFOQT!! I thought it was like the ASVAB, but no, it was not. It is still done with 1960 technology, a scantron and textbook. So without computers for testing, you can imaging how much time is spent on administrating the test.There is no way to prepare for the physical science and aviation parts. The question could come from any corner of these subjects. And I had to guess half of the table reading and block counting...
@@BrokeManFinance thanks for the encouragement, I am keeping the scores (no matter how bad they are). I am enlisted->officer, with master’s and all other credentials, I am not going to spend hours studying something like who broke the speed of sound, just to improve my score. Have better things to achieve in life. Overall, I think the test is biased against young folks with limited resources, it has limited things to do with learning capabilities but more of how a person take a test, test methods and context are way outdated.
Correction: I had to put “c” on half of the table readings and block counting, there was just no time to finish, both subjects are pretty easy to understand, but I don’t think the tests are structured in a way that you can finish with accuracy, or I am just dumb…
I wish I could could of joined right when I turned 18, I joined when I was 22. Just so many benefits you can get from it. The retirement being one of those. You can get a full retirement at 38, and your money can grow much faster then a brand new officer who is more then likely going to be 22 or 23 if they are fresh out of the academy or ROTC. Plus the average of 4 years you have over the officer, to grow your money in the TSP is really great. On average most officers will get less out of their TSP compared to a enlisted troop who makes decent contributions because of the 4 extra years that money has been growing. I really do recommend everyone in the Air Force to be enlisted first, then commission over. You can get experience knowing what it is like for the enlisted. And I think it just improved leadership skills. Also while you are enlisted, you can take those college classes and get your bachelors online, and not have to pay back student loans, unlike what young new officers more then likely will have to do, unless their parents helped them out through. But yeah, that’s what I am up to myself right now. Just trying to get my degree while working
Sure you can take it while in airforce and don't have to worry about loans but it is not easy taking only online classes expecially for more difficult courses. Plus hard to balance full time work and courses so you still might graduate later than those 4 years as the military doesn't even cover you for fill time courses.
@@SourStrawberrys It all depends on what your AFSC is and your deployment cycle. Some jobs allow a lot of downtime to work on classes. I know a lot of people that have completed engineering and medical degrees will enlisted. Best of Luck to you
You mentioned only being able to take the test twice in your life. As a civilian if I take it twice, say I don’t pass then go enlisted and try to commission as an officer, do you get another attempt at that point? Seems odd if not.
@@BrokeManFinance So it wouldn’t be wise to take it twice as a civilian. It would be best to take it and if I don’t pass, go in as enlisted then take it again when trying to commission as an officer?
I mean it’s all about your career path. If it’s officer or nothing take it twice as a civilian but speaking from experience most of the good officers were prior enlisted. There is nothing wrong with either direction. It’s still an awesome career.
Question. How do they score the sections. I see that pilot score is 25 in that section. Does that mean you got 25 questions right or what? How do they calculate the AFOQT?
The score is percentage based I believe. However, the score is also compared to everyone who is taking the test that day. For example, if 2K people all over the world is taking the test that particular day then you are competing against 2K people and their scores.
Who do you recommend we contact for volunteer opportunities if we aren’t in the military anymore? I live near Offutt and wanted to beef up my package a little before I try to commission.
Do you have to take the AFOQT to be an AF Officer? I’m prior enlisted USARNG and I was thinking about switching branches since now I have my degree? I’ve already taken the ASVAB
@The Red Knight just keep focusing on your grades and you will be fine. The test is not too in-depth. Basic level algebra and geometry is the main areas of math. I’m enlisted and have been out of school for a while and I was even able to pass lol
I'm going to boot camp soon and I want to become an officer soon as possible. Is it possible to study for AFOQT in tech school for 30 mins? Will I have time for that?
It just depends on what your going to tech school for? Some AFSC’s are more demanding then others. I would suggest get through tech school and once your finished then focus on that goal.
@@BrokeManFinance ok thanks! It might help that I already did 2 years worth of college and I'm pretty confident math wise and I'm currently working on verbal. Also, do you know the deadline to apply for the scholarship? Also, my afsc is financial management and comptroller
@Khrais Basha It is, I just bought two different ones to see if there was any major difference. There's a decent bit of free online test in the description block of the video too. Good Luck!!
High as possible!! There is no set competitive score. When you test your competing with everyone across the world. So you want to be as high as you can, because you don’t know what everyone’s scores will be.
What did you score? Can you skip questions and go back later to answer them? Also if I leave a question blank does that count against me or does it count as incorrect? Asvab scores expire after 2 years
You can’t skip and come back. You can come back and take random guesses and fill in the bubble sheet but you won’t be able to see the questions once you move on to another section. Also, you only get credit for right answers.
People recommend not leaving bubbles blank. If you don’t know just randomly fill in the bubbles you don’t know-to increase chances of a higher score than what you would have scored by leaving it blank.
@Heather Chua, I didn’t have too many issues with it. I would suggest reading the question first without looking at the possible answers and seeing if you know it. I would then look at the possible answers to verify if I was right.
Finally I am amongst those who talk about the tutorials of Mr DAVID 😊 I have gone through many tutors but had no positive results till I found a recommendation about Mr DAVID, he has help me pass my AFOQT EXAM , am so glad.
Good luck to everyone about to take the test!!
How long should I practice buddy, any hope in being officer on being enlisted?
That just depends on you. I studied over the period of several months to get caught up on all the subjects and I had been out of school for a couple years so I needed a good refresher. I've heard some people say they took around 6 months to study for it.

When did this change? I can't find any regs on it..
You need approval to take it 3 times.
It’s my turn, glad I found this. 10yr Fast Burner.
I attribute this to be older when I joined.
Always been worried about the transition.. did well with that I am doing. But.. it’s time.
Ready to make the transition.

RJ Mathis do you have a source on this?
I am in the AFROTC. I am pretty sure RJ is right, because that is what the Staff at the university told us.
It appears they did change it. I'll try to locate the AFI and post it for everyone.
The links in the description are useful for practice tests. Get the physical book if you can. I take the test next month but I'm confident in my success because of the tools provided. Thanks my guy!
Good Luck!!
Hecccckkkk yes. Just what I needed ! Thank you
Awesome!!! I hope it helped.
Hey Nikki! I'm studying for the AFOQT too. When do you plan to take it? I'm trying to find somebody who's trying to go to OTS next year.

I agree on all those points. Some of the best commanders I have served with were prior enlisted!!
That is better than me trying to join at 27. But trying to go in as an officer as I got degree in Engineering.

Pretty sure they do a "super score" and take your highest score in each section (if you take the test twice)
They have changed it recently.
@@BrokeManFinance What was the change?
You mentioned only being able to take the test twice in your life. As a civilian if I take it twice, say I don’t pass then go enlisted and try to commission as an officer, do you get another attempt at that point? Seems odd if not.
No, you only get two times no matter what. That’s why preparing for it is so important.
@@BrokeManFinance So it wouldn’t be wise to take it twice as a civilian. It would be best to take it and if I don’t pass, go in as enlisted then take it again when trying to commission as an officer?

@@BrokeManFinance Oh wow. Sounds very competitive! Thanks for the insight.
Lol I'm too nervous, I'm not even sleeping before the test... thats prolly not very good
I would def get some sleep. Study and trust yourself!!
Who do you recommend we contact for volunteer opportunities if we aren’t in the military anymore? I live near Offutt and wanted to beef up my package a little before I try to commission.
Family Readiness is probably the best place to start.
thank you Sir
Thanks for watching!!
Do you have to take the AFOQT to be an AF Officer? I’m prior enlisted USARNG and I was thinking about switching branches since now I have my degree? I’ve already taken the ASVAB
Yes, all aspiring AF officers must take the AFOQT.
@@TactualSLAYER is the AFOQT hard?
@@somekid1053 it's ezpz
Is it wise to randomly fill out the blanks that you left once time is up on a given section of the test?
Yes!
Currently enlisted in tech school plane on commissioning and becoming a fight pilot
Awesome. Good luck to you!
You may want to learn how to type in basic English first...
@@hook86 lol
I’m a junior in highschool doing jrotc and I’m already terrified of this test really want to be a fighter pilot

Not sure about the scholarship. Your recruiter may be able to answer that.
Thanks
Hey brother quick question, isn't buying one guide enough for studying?
@Khrais Basha
It is, I just bought two different ones to see if there was any major difference. There's a decent bit of free online test in the description block of the video too. Good Luck!!
How long does it usually take to get into OTS as a civilian with a college degree? Is it always 2-3 years??😱
It depends on your job. General officer versus a doctors or lawyer could be a difference.
What's the best way to study online for free?
Hi , which book does have cd with test questions..?
The two I used had the option of buying a CD with it. If you google or go onto Amazon it will show it it comes with a CD.
What were your scorers?
I’m a soon to be college grad preparing for the afoqt. What is considered a competitive score?
High as possible!! There is no set competitive score. When you test your competing with everyone across the world. So you want to be as high as you can, because you don’t know what everyone’s scores will be.
@@BrokeManFinance appreciate the honesty brother !
Yes sir!! Good luck to you. It’s an awesome career.
What did you score? Can you skip questions and go back later to answer them? Also if I leave a question blank does that count against me or does it count as incorrect?

i got a 13 on the practice please help!
Keep hitting those books and study!
can i apply for afoqt from a foreign country ? (im an american )
Yeah, you just have to find your local recruiter which may be a little more difficult than bring stateside.
did you have a hard time in the word section ? cos some of the words are very complicated .
In the math part, did logarithm came?
@Steven Hernandez I don't remember any of them on my test.
Are you planning on taking the test soon?
Yes, this November. I’m in the rotc
There was maybe one or two log questions if I remember correctly .
Finally I am amongst those who talk about the tutorials of Mr DAVID 😊 I have gone through many tutors but had no positive results till I found a recommendation about Mr DAVID, he has help me pass my AFOQT EXAM , am so glad.
So you’reeeeee telling me there’s a chance
Heck yeah man
Asvab scores only last like 2 years I think.
It’s 5 years. But if you are still serving it stays current for as long as you serve
