Preparing for the AFOQT

Before you take the AFOQT---Study, Study, Study; especially if you aim to fly. You only have
two opportunities to take the test, don’t waste them. Take the time now and prepare. Following
are a few sources for study aids:

AFOQT/ Officer Candidate study books – search for ARCO Officer Candidate Test book, or
Barron’s equivalent version in any online or retail bookstore (same section as other study books
such as SAT, GRE, MCAT, GMAT prep books). If in doubt how to study, the study book will
more than suffice. These are allowed per para. 5.13.2 of AFI 36-2605 (excerpt below).

AFI 36-2605: Cautions regarding the use of study guides & group study,

5.13.2. Use of legally developed commercial study guides, though not recommended, endorsed,
or supported by the Air Force, does not constitute a compromise as defined in this instruction.
However, sharing a marked or unmarked commercial study guide in whole or in part with
anyone is prohibited… [In other words, you must buy and use your own study guides, you
cannot share them]

5.14. Prohibitions Against Group Study. Group study is strictly prohibited.

Group study is defined as anyone who studies for an AFPT with another person or discusses /
shares in any form with any other person: 1) information about actual test material or 2) marked

or highlighted testable material. Placing testable material on a group drive, internet web page,
bulletin board, etc., is similarly defined as group study and is prohibited. Group study prohibits
study with not only other examinees but any other person, including but not limited to
commanders, supervisors, coworkers, roommates, friends, and military or civilian spouses.
Group study does NOT include the following individual actions:

5.14.1. An examinee discussing actual test material or test questions with the TCO [Capt
McGowan], or STCO in private when submitting a query. [If you have any questions about the
AFOTC, talk to the TCO]

5.14.2. Participating in or conducting training to improve general study or test-taking skills. The
training should be applicable in both the military and civilian environment. Examples of this
training could include general information on outlining, note-taking, developing reading skills,
etc. This training may not focus on preparing for selection or promotion tests. [This means non
AFOQT specific test taking skill improvement is ok as a group]

5.14.3. N/A to AFOQT study preparation

5.14.4. N/A to AFOQT study preparation

5.14.5. N/A to AFOQT study preparation

5.14.6. Normal conversations and duty-related discussions between examinees and/or potential
examinees as long as they are not intended to prepare an individual for a specific AFPT [the
AFOQT].

5.14.7. Using personal study techniques to review study materials while preparing for a specific
AFPT as long as those personal study materials are not reviewed, used, observed by, or shared
with anyone.
