New ASTB OAR SIFT study guide

Description: This study guide aims to improve the math, mechanical, reading, aviation, nautical, and spatial apperception skills of candidates preparing for the Aviation Selection Test Battery (ASTB). It gives a clear breakdown on the types of questions you will expect to see in the test, and you will learn invaluable tips and strategies to work quickly and confidently. The Officer Aptitude Rating (OAR) section in ASTB comprises the reading, math, and mechanical sections, which are identical to the Selection Instrument for Flight Training (SIFT) test battery. Typically, you only have 3 chances to get the minimum score of 50 (out of 80) in OAR to be considered for all careers offered by the U.S. Navy. All questions are multiple choice but the math and reading tests can be challenging because they are adaptive, which means they may get harder depending on your performance in the earlier questions. A calculator is not permitted in the math test and the reading questions can be intense. To reach a score of 50, you need to know more than just basics and practice questions that are similar to the test. This book will help bridge the gap. You will learn key math skills and mechanical principles to get up to speed quickly. More importantly, you will learn simple time-saving math shortcuts and effective reading strategies. The book also contains essential summary notes, examples, and 12 practice tests on mechanical, aviation-nautical information, spatial apperception, and math/reading with different levels of difficulty. The extensive set of over 750 worked examples and exercises are frequently tested and they will help you excel in the test. The book is also useful for ASVAB and AFOQT preparation. The author has worked in academia for over 30 years. He has taught ASTB (OAR) extensively and holds bachelors and graduate degrees in electrical engineering. He currently teaches standardized tests for the University of California at San Diego and has authored 4 study guides on these tests.
