Description

The ASTB (Aviation Selection Test Battery) is used by the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard to select candidates for pilot and flight officer training programs. A shorter version of the ASTB called the Officer Aptitude Rating (OAR) is used by the U.S. Navy to select candidates for Officer Candidate School (OCS). These exams are used by the organizations discussed above to determine a candidate's future success in military officer training programs. A candidate must do well on the respective exams to have a better chance of being offered a commissioning slot. Furthermore, the better you do on the exams, the more opportunities you will have in the naval services.



In this APP, you will have access to:
∙ 73 Lessons with review sections
∙ The ability to track your progress through the syllabus
∙ Over 140 flashcards to help you memorize pertinent information faster.
∙ Create and edit custom flashcards
∙ Over 600 sample test questions
∙ Unlimited Practice Tests using the same question logic as the actual exam (This is the only product out there currently doing this)
∙ Simulators to help you prepare for the UAV Component, Terrain Identification Component, and the Stick and Throttle Components of the PBM Test Section (This is the only product that offers this)
∙ Review errors made on the practice tests with the correct answer and explanations for select questions
∙ View previous test results and assess your progress



The OAR is comprised of 3 subtests, the Math Skills Test (MST), Reading Comprehension Test (RCT), and Mechanical Comprehension Test (MCT). The ASTB incorporates 7 subtests, including the 3 subtests in the OAR. In addition, it includes the Aviation and Nautical Information Test (ANIT), Naval Aviation Trait Facet Inventory (NAFTI), Performance Based Measures Battery (PBM), and the Biographical Inventory with Response Validation (BI-RV). This app has lessons covering all of the tests discussed above so that the app will prepare you for the ASTB or OAR. Furthermore, it is the only product with a simulator to help you prepare for the UAV Component, Terrain Identification Component, and the Stick and Throttle portions of the PBM.

The ASTB and OAR are digital tests, and they are not linear in the way questions are asked. Both tests use adaptive processing, and the software will ask questions of greater or lesser difficulty if the test taker answered the question correctly or incorrectly, respectively. This app has practice tests for the MST, RCT, MCT, and ANIT that incorporate the same question logic and scoring, and you will be able to take an unlimited amount of practice tests on the subjects you need to work on. Furthermore, using the app's advanced scoring system, you will know whether or not you are ready to take the ASTB or OAR with the greatest accuracy. Once the app has been purchased, no cellular data or Wi-Fi is required to run the app, making it the ideal solution to use when studying for these tests on the go or deployed.

An Investment in Structure and Success

The ASTB-E is very unique test for which preparing can seem totally overwhelming. However, this app provides you with the only two things you ultimately need to be successful: a blueprint for your academic preparation and an array of simulators for your neuromotor performance.

Use the syllabus to guide your studies. Dive deeper into subjects with which you’re unfamiliar, and test yourself on those you think you already are familiar. The structure allows you to ensure you’re allocating your time effectively which, for a test with such a wide range of material, is crucial.

Make the simulators part of your daily routine - they are incredibly well-designed and true to the real test. Practice makes perfect, and the app makes practice convenient.

Having been through the process myself now, I can say that this app is truly invaluable - worth every penny. Furthermore, the app developer in incredibly responsive, helpful, and committed to the product. Don’t get bogged down or discouraged, preparing for the ASTB-E is straightforward (dare I say fun?) with the help of this app.

Beyond helpful

Absolutely one of the best programs you can get for ASTB preparation. The math , reading, and physics portions are all very thorough. The sim section is ESPECIALLY useful for the parking lot portion. The tracking portion for the joystick is useful for multitasking practice. The app clearly explainswhat is expected of you in each section and provides practice problems with how each problem is performed. It also categorizes each problem so you know where to look for extra practice problems.

My only complaints about the app is that it locks orientation on the sim, and when you take the test it doesn’t detail the explanations for all problems relating to math and physics.

My first attempt at the test was a 6,5,5 and a 52 on the OAR. With this app , along with some study books, I brought my score up to an 8,9,8 and a 57.

This app ABSOLUTELY is worth every penny. I cannot thank the creator enough. The app is hardly worth just the 6 dollars (I think) I paid for it. It really is a game changer!

Developer Response ,

Congrats on your score improvement, and I'm glad this product helped you get the score you wanted. Thank you so much for the review; it supports product development and personally means a lot to me. I will continue adding more explanations to test questions with each update and pay particular attention to the Math and Mechanical Comprehension problems. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any ideas about further lessons or subjects I should incorporate into the app. Thanks again for your vote of approval, and best of luck in flight school.

Sincerely,
Alex

Worth the Time and Money

This app helped me tremendously with my ASTB score. I went from a 4,5,3 on my first test attempt to a 6,8,7 using this app to help me study. It is well worth the money and I have recommended it to all my buddies trying to get a flight contract and pass the test. If you follow the instructions and study like it says (and put the time in) you will pass.

(Side note to the creators)

I appreciate all the hard work y’all put into this app. I hope that y’all continue to update it so that it will help more people like me who are struggling to pass the test.

Developer Response ,

I'm glad the app helped you get the competitive score you wanted, and thank you for the recommendation to your friends. Recommendations and reviews help out enormously, and for that, I am grateful to you. It's a one-person team running and updating the app at the moment, and I will definitely continue to update and bring new content to the app after launching the android version. Trust me; I know how stressful preparing for the test was; eight years ago, I was in your shoes. If you have any suggestions for the app you want to share, don't hesitate to get ahold of me via the developer page. Furthermore, if you have any questions about naval aviation or training pipelines, don't hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Alex
