      ASTB Introduction

      Becoming a flight officer in the Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard is one of the most desirable careers in the entire military. It is also one of the most competitive. The ASTB-E, or Aviation Selection Test Battery to give it its full name, is the series of tests used to determine whether a candidate shows aptitude for flight training and represents a good prospect for success at later stages of the training program.

      The ASTB-E is the most recent and up to date version of the test, with a range of adaptations and upgrades from previous versions of the ASTB. However, for the sake of brevity, this book will refer to the test as the ASTB from this point forward. At all times, this is referring to the ASTB-E however, and the information is the most up to date possible for the latest version of the Test Battery.

      The military uses a testing platform called Automated Pilot Examination, commonly abbreviated as APEX. The ASTB is tested through this platform only, meaning that your test will be in an electronic format.

      Making the Most of Your ASTB Study Guide

      Each section of this ASTB study guide consists of several sections: Purpose, Contents, Preparation, Practice Test, and Practice Test Answer Key.

      The Purpose section of each chapter explains the reason why the ASTB features this particular test. It’s been proven that understanding the purpose and reason behind a test increases one’s motivation to study for it. The Purpose section is therefore a proven way of increasing your motivation for a particular section, as well as explaining to you how it may be useful to your future Aviation career.

      The Contents section breaks down the type of material you are likely to encounter during that portion of the ASTB. All the information in this guide has been taken from test takers reporting the type of content they faced. This ensures that all the material you cover stands a good chance of being found on the ASTB.

      The Preparation section gives tips for studying and ways of processing the information. These sections have been written with different learning styles in mind, and they are intended to be useful for those seeking optimum strategies to absorb and retain the information.

      The Practice Test section features a range of questions to test your knowledge and application of the chapter’s content.

      The Practice Test Answer Key allows you to quickly and easily check your answers for each section of the ASTB practice test. This is vital to identify areas that are understood well, and those which require additional study and practice.

      ASTB Sections

      The ASTB consists of seven sections. Below are the full names for each section, the abbreviations by which they are commonly known, and the most essential information about each section.

      1. Math Skills Test (MST)

      Consists of between 20 and 30 multiple choice questions. This is a computer adaptive section, meaning the exact number and nature of the test questions you receive will vary depending upon your previous answers.

      2. Reading Comprehension Test (RCT)

      Between 20 and 30 multiple choice questions, as determined by the computer adaptive testing system. Each question consists of a passage of text and four possible answers. Only one answer is definitely true based on the text passage given, although all may seem related or initially plausible.

      3. Mechanical Comprehension Test (MCT)

      Between 20 and 30 multiple choice questions, as determined by the computer adaptive system. Each question tests either a practical or theoretical aspect of mechanics and physics, ranging from abstract concepts (such as Newton’s Laws) to applied ideas (such as the stages of an engine’s operation).

      4. Aviation and Nautical Information Test (ANIT)

      Between 20 and 30 multiple choice questions relating to the practical aspects of flight, such as how an airport operates, the history of the Navy, and information relating to Naval aircraft and ship naming conventions. The number of questions is determined by the computer adaptive system.

      5. Naval Aviation Trait Facet Inventory (NATFI)

      A type of personality test in which you are given a pair of statements and asked to choose between them. This section cannot be studied for. You
