[I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review of the product. This has, in absolutely no way whatsoever, affected my review of the product, nor has it swayed my opinion of the product or its value.]Okay, so if you are thinking about purchasing this book, then odds are you are planning to take the ASTB (or, I suppose, you could be getting it because you are using it to study for the ASVAB or OAR exams.... or heck, maybe you are just wanting to buy it because you think the cover is neat. Who knows!). Anyway, I am going to write my review with the assumption that you are reading this review because you want to know about my honest opinion of this book so you know whether or not it might help you with the ASTB. The answer is maybe yes and maybe no. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I have a reason for giving such an answer.This book assumes that the reader has very basic knowledge of the exam, the military, and / or common mathematics, reading comprehension, etc. So, with that in mind, you need to really think about and analyze yourself before purchasing this book. If you feel that you have a very good understanding of the ASTB exam and that you are quite intelligent and need a more advanced book to get any benefits from it, then this book is probably not the book for you.However, if you are new to the world of different military exams or weren't great in school and pretty much need to go back to the beginning and rediscover the basics, then yes, this book will be INCREDIBLY helpful to you.I work as an educational specialist for a national TRiO program, and for those of you who do not know what that means, it means I work with a lot of low-income, first-generation, often minority raced people.
This book doesn't really help with the test. It assumes you have zero knowledge of the military and that you need your hand to be held. The introduction starts with military basics: What does the military do? What are the officer and enlisted ranks? How will you be paid? These are all things that the military will teach you in basic training or OCS in the very first week. There is no reason to even know what collar device a lieutenant or commander wears. It won't help you and you'll be taught it promptly after getting off the bus at OCS.Following that, you are given a list of fact cards about military aircraft. Pretty pictures with design specifications and descriptions. Besides not being extensive, and having some errors, this has no representation on the test. The military doesn't expect you to be an aircraft engineer before OCS. Seeing as I was an Air Force dependent, I knew all that stuff beforehand. You likely will know enough about it too. Anyway, the ASTB doesn't ask questions about that at all. Pointless.Then the book takes you on a fantastic journey through high school, teaching you about clouds and meteorology, biology and how cells work, environmental science. Skip. That. Crap. The ASTB doesn't care if you know 10th grade biology. No questions at all.The book describes what the OAR will be like. The math is high school level, the reading is for comprehension, and the mechanics are basic spatial and math questions found in introductory physics. Here's where things go south. The Navy's OAR is an adaptive test, which means that if you get too many questions wrong, it will dumb them down. If you get many correct, it will make the questions very difficult.
For the Aviation Selection Test Battery takers, this often means the difference between being a pilot or someone who serves the pilot. Tests are hard and the best way to prepare is with a study guide since increasingly these tests are vital to the outcome, often times they are increasingly expensive and only offered a few times a year. Now a little bit of clarification for some people since somehow it gets misconstrued that you could just read the study guide without having had some formal teaching on the material. You have to know something about the subject otherwise the study guide does not do you any good. An ode to testing, since its been around for ages and will continue to be so since it’s the easiest way to find out, do you know the information regardless of whether or not you test well or handle the pressure. This is an absolutely Great study book for preparing to take the test. This is a comprehensive review that covers all likely areas of content that are going to be on the test. It includes practice test questions with detailed answers that clearly explain how the answer was arrived at and why it is the correct answer and not the other ones. It includes many test taking strategies that have proven themselves time and time again. They are something that even the most experienced test taker can learn from. Up-to-date test questions that really do help prep for the test. This ultra-useful study guide has an Easy to follow flow that helps take in the material. The book keeps the material at the simplest level possible (while at the same time not leaving anything out or treating you like a child who can barely read, let alone foster intelligent thought) to ensure maximum understanding by all audiences.
