United StatesThe 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.
Scored a 6/6/7 with just this app
The ASTB was different than what is available in this app but the ideas were the same. The knowledge was extremely helpful and unfortunately didn’t get through all of it before taking the test but if I got the chance to take it again I would get a X52 joystick a few months before for the UAV test and go through all the knowledge at least once along with practicing word problems. *wink wink*
United StatesAn 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.
United StatesIncredible prep
I am a retired Naval Aviator. My generation took the AQT-FAR test for flight school aptitude. My oldest is a Midshipman NROTC 2/c and used this prep as one of his primary pillars of study. His exam score was a 8/9/8. Max is 9/9/9. An 8/9/8 is considered an incredible score. On an exam where you only can take it 3 times and last full score counts, to score that high on the first test is amazing and a testament to how well this prep works. Let me tell you it’s worth it’s weight in Gold Naval Aviator Wings. Great job Alex. FLY Navy! ~ Sticky D. Ooh Rah Alex.

The ASTB app looks very helpful. I am a retired Naval Aviator and both my sons hope to follow in my footsteps. I took the AQT-FAR so I personally don’t know this system. Wish we had prep like this back in 1990 when I took the test back in the Stone Age. Really like the app. Just wondering if a stick and throttle (Bluetooth )will work for the stick/throttle training.

United StatesSome Math Questions have incorrect answers and walkthroughs
Wasn’t sure how to contact the developer so just figured I’d leave a review. First, the UAV portion and Terrain Identification are worth the app on its own, but if you’re refreshing for some basic math concepts it’s frustrating when the answers aren’t present and the explanation is incorrect. The question I encountered (and took pictures of) was (11²/4)/(5^5 x 2). The right answer wasn’t present and during the review section after the fact it was solving for 5² instead of 5^5, which was presented in the question.
United StatesMediocre
I used this app to study for the OAR. The only thing it really helped with was the mechanical comprehension. The math is all basic stuff and does not even begin to cover what is on the actual test. There are only test taking tips for reading comprehension. The OARs reading section dwells on military scenarios and instructions.
