Product Description

U.S. Air Force officer candidates, ROTC cadets, and others preparing to take military flight aptitude tests will find the information they’re looking for in this manual. They’ll also find six full-length practice tests with answers and explanations for all questions. That total gives applicants more practice tests than any other flight aptitude manual on the market. The tests are as follows: two practice AFOQT (Air Force Officer Qualifying Tests); two practice AFAST (Army Alternate Flight Aptitude Selection Tests); and two practice ASTB (Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard Aviation Selection Test Batteries). This manual also provides general descriptions and overviews of all three tests, plus practice and review questions in all test topics. The topics include language comprehension, mathematics, mechanical comprehension, aviation information, nautical information, general science, and specific mental skills such as block counting, finding hidden figures and complex movements, cyclic orientation, and spatial apperception. The author also gives practical advice on effective study techniques, how to find information resources, and physical preparation.

for AFOQT buy Barron's
If you are taking the AFOQT buy the Barron's study book. I just took the test (Feb 2008) and the Barron's practice exams are spot on. The only difference from the practice exam in Barron's and the real thing is that in the Table Reading section, it is one giant "x and y" table on the real test, but don't worry, if you prepare by using the table section in Barron's you should do fine. The AFOQT has been changed since the publication of the ARCO and Cliffprep books, the current exam consists of 12 parts (including the personal survey). Also, you can expect the same type of questions in the Rotating Blocks section, but on the real test they are slightly more challenging. My advice is to work on your speed for each section in the practice exams, finishing all the questions is the most challenging part of the real test.

Only as a Last Resort
I'm a bit disappointed with this study guide. I've been studying it specifically for the AFAST and have found several errors in it. I was starting to think I was an idiot when upon further research I discovered that some of the answers in the practice exams are incorrect. As far as explanation of answers I wouldn't say it's great. Some of the questions are more in depth and the pictures are definitely a bit more clear than the ARCO study guide. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this book unless you've already memorized the ARCO book and need a back-up study guide. I have the 2007 version which is riddled with errors; hopefully they correct this problem before printing a newer version. If you have to buy this study guide, don't waste your money on a new one, buy a used copy if possible because it really isn't worth the money.

Just took the AFOQT...
I am a cadet in an Air Force ROTC program and just took the AFOQT. Other cadets and myself spent a lot of time studying together and I saw several different test prep books by this one was by far the best. I say this because the rotated blocks and instrument reading in THIS book looked EXACTLY like how they are on the actual AFOQT. Even the hidden figures used in BARRON's book were the same figures that I had to look for on the test (of course they were different puzzles though).

And let me tell you... some other test prep books didnt even come close to looking how the actually AFOQT does. Also, all of the review sections in this book really help freshen up those verbal, science, and aviation information questions with detailed explanations of the answers so you can learn the concepts! 5 Stars!
