AFOQT... HElp?

Question

ANY advice on taking the AFOQT? I have been studying the ACT study guides for the heck of it for math. Then I have an ARCO book. I am an Engineering so my math and science skills are good and my vocab sucks. I'm going for fighter pilot, any suggestions ?? Make it good guys. Vocab points needed anyway possible!!

Answer 1

It has been a lo-o-ong time since I took the AFOQT, but my advice would be to do a little remedial studying on your weak area, which you say is your vocabulary. Chances are you'll be all right.

If they haven't changed it, the AFOQT has sections that will qualify you for ground duties, pilot, navigator, and possibly other specialties.

When I took it I easily qualified in all areas. Get plenty of rest before you take it and make sure you are alert and clear-headed.

If you qualify as pilot on the AFOQT you will still have to qualify on the physical and then complete pilot training. Your performance in pilot training will be the determining factor in whether you get fighters or other aircraft, but my advice here is to be in top physical condition and take good care of yourself.

I served ten years as a commissioned Air Force officer. Unfortunately my eyesight disqualified me for flight duties, but I hung around with a lot of crew types, including B-52 crews (all positions), F-106 jocks, and C-130 crews. I listened and learned and loved every minute of it. (I was a public affairs officer.)

After I left active duty I went on and served another 18 years as an Air Force Reserve officer. With some prior enlisted Air Guard time that added up to 31 years for retirement points.

I have never regretted one second of the time I spent with the Air Force. Neither will you. Good luck, and remember to get some rest before you take that test.

Well, since reading books with lots of good vocabulary words in them would take lots of time... and reading the dictionary isn't all that fun... how about trying www.freerice.com. It's a quick and easy way to improve the vocabulary. It will show you a word and you click on which description you believe is most synonymous with the definition of that word. It will automatically tell you if you were correct or not, and if not it will supply you with the correct answer. As a bonus, for every correct answer you get, they donate 20 grains of rice to help a starving child. GL with your test!

Added: : ) Not sure if this is the type of vocabulary you meant, if not, sorry!

Answer 3

Practice coding, rapidly matching two collumns of data to generate a third. Also, get a flight instruments manual and learn to quickly read ADI's and HSI's. Learning the terminology and function and data displayed is key!

specific, you qualify and you probably did ok. a million. Pilot (Pilot score of 25/ Navigator score of 10/ blended Pilot and Navigator score of fifty) This composite measures different the understanding and abilities considered mandatory for helpful of completion of pilot education. The Pilot composite incorporates subtests which degree verbal skill, awareness of aviation and mechanical structures, the skill to confirm airplane physique of ideas from contraptions, awareness of aeronautical suggestions, the skill to ascertain scales and interpret tables, and specific spatial skills. 2. Navigator (Pilot score of 10/ Navigator score of 25/ blended Pilot and Navigator score of fifty) This composite measures different the understanding and abilities considered mandatory for helpful of completion of navigator education. The Navigator-Technical composite shares many subtests with the pilot composite, with the exception that measures of verbal skill, skill to confirm airplane physique of ideas, and awareness of aeronautical suggestions at the instant are not blanketed. whether, subtests are further measuring quantitative aptitudes, some spatial or seen skills, and awareness of wide-unfold technology. 3. academic flair (No minimum score required) This composite measures verbal and quantitative awareness and abilities. the educational flair composite combines all subtests used to attain the Verbal and Quantitative composites. 4. Verbal (minimum qualifying score of 15) This composite measures particularly some varieties of verbal awareness and abilities. The Verbal composite incorporates subtests which degree the skill to reason and understand relationships between words, the skill to ascertain and understand paragraphs on different subjects, and the skill to understand synonyms. 5. Quantitative (minimum qualifying score of 10) This composite measures particularly some varieties of quantitative awareness and abilities. The Quantitative composite shares subtests with the Navigator-Technical composite stated above and incorporates subtests which degree the skill to understand and reason with arithmetic relationships, interpret information from graphs and charts, and to apply mathematical words, formulation, and relationships.
