Military Flight Aptitude Tests, 6/e (Peterson's Master the Military Flight Aptitude Tests)

I have taken two tests out of this book, the Army AFAST, and the Navy and Marine Corps Aviation Selection Battery, in real life. Contextually, the book is dead on, however, do not rely on it as your sole source of information. If you are serious about becoming a pilot, READ READ READ. Go out and get books on the aircraft you want to fly (i.e. fixed wing or rotary). This book is good in that it will show you exactly what the formats look like, but it does not do a lot in preparing you for the questions on the test beyond what is in the book.

If you are looking to get high scores on your aptitude tests, practice, read, and absorb everything you can about the tests that are in the book. Find your weaknesses, and focus your attentions on them. I speak from experience. By studying hard for both tests, I was able to achieve above the 99 percentile on both tests. You can do it as well, but not with just one book, not with just any book.

I purchased a bunch of test prep books for taking the AFOQT.
I bought ...and the Arco Military Flight Aptitude Test book.Out of all these books, the Arco Military Flight Aptitude Test Book did the best job for preparing me for the AFOQT.
It has ALL the subtests (not just the academic aptitude sections) so you get a very good idea of how the test is run.I scored a 94 on both the Pilot and Nav sections, and had only 2 weeks to prepare for the AFOQT.
I have ZERO knowledge of Piloting but the book helped with the other sections that help determine the Pilot/Nav composite scores.This book should be the FIRST on your list of prep books for the AFOQT.

I just took the Navy/Marines ASTB as part of my application for commission in the US Navy, and I used the Arco book as my primary study text. Here's a section-by-section rundown of how I thought the Arco book prepared me. (Please note that these comments apply only to the ASTB practice section in the Arco book.)(1) Math/Verbal: the Arco's math/verbal practice section is pretty different from the real thing. Arco's math questions are based entirely on arithmetic whereas the ASTB focuses more on actual algebra and geometry questions. Likewise, Arco's verbal questions are not like the real thing. The ASTB has only paragraph comprehension and none of the other stuff that Arco has you practice. Don't expect Arco to prepare you for this section or you'll be pretty disappointed.(2) Mechanical: Arco's mechanical practice section is identical to the ASVAB's mechanical, and I found it to be somewhat more difficult than the ASTB's mechanical. If you practice the mechanical questions...Read more
