    I had a 40 pilot AFOQT out of USAFA because I didn’t want to fly, bought the book attached and studied for 2 weeks and got a 97. Headed to upt in October

    was the material reliable, I have had a few books that seem dates with a jumble of wrong answers? Did you supplement with anything else! (I.e., AFOQT study guide website)

    Hey everyone,

    So I bought the Trivium and Barron test prep books and am using the AFOQT study guide website to aid in preparing for the AFOQT, which I take in about a month. Are their any recommendations or additional products I should use or possibly discard from my current study materials to help me get good scores. The first time I tested I didn’t study at all  (maybe 1 or 2 days) but this time I am giving myself about 1-2 months of prep.

    i retook the TBAS and did pretty good. My current pilot is a 49 w/ a PCSM of 18. Once I retest I will start accruing flight hrs.

    How much will I see my PCSM go up?

    I had a similar PCSM and took the TBAS. My PCSM didn’t change. I only had one flight hour when I applied as well. Don’t be too discouraged if your score doesn’t change and remains low. Apply everywhere you can and be a bro and you can still get picked up with luck. You are probably out of the running for a fighter slot though. Also consider joining a guard unit. A PCSM score in no way is a direct reflection of your performance in UPT. 

    Guardlife07, 

    did you retake your AFOQT? If so, what did you get and how much did your pcsm increase ?

    Hey everyone!  So I applied to the last UFT board and didn't make it.  I applied with pretty terrible scores because when I originally took the tests I wasn't planning on going rated.  My original PCSM score was an 11 my pilot was a 48.  I just retook the TBAS and thought I did pretty well.  My PCSM went up to an 18.  I plan on taking the AFOQT in a few months after some studying.  My question is, will I see a significant jump in my PCSM if I make it in the 80-90s for my Pilot. From what I read online without flight hours the highest a person can get is a PCSM:70. I'm curious on how the breakdown and weight of each portion is. Any advice helps. Also is have 0 flight hours.

    Congrats to everyone that got selected! I basically just heard about this program, so too late to apply to this board. Does anyone know when the next board is? I heard September but I haven't seen that anywhere in MyPers or elsewhere. I'm trying for ABM, afoqt score is 99. Thanks for the help!

    AFPC told me the nomination PSDM will drop in late Feb and the next board will be in Sept.

    I suggest using the kongregate multitasking game. It is helpful with selective attention. There are some other great resources that have been posted in other threads, such as simulators. 

    Yeah I use to practice in a full get up simulator, but the way it operates is completely different and I feel I won’t master it. The multitasking I did decent. It was just the stick and rudder and the UAV orientation (which I know now) that I did miserable at. Honestly, I didn’t know that the AFOQT was a big factor in the pcsm score like I read in other posts.

    Yeah I took the AFOQT with little to no studying and knew nothing about how the Pilot score was comprised. I got a 49 and it obviously shows. My PCSM was AWFUL, I got an 11 and had no clue what the TBAS test had involved. Anywho, I rescheduled the TBAS and have the UAV orientation down great, the other things I’m 50/50.  

    For the AFOQT I got a TRIVIUM prep book a military flight test book to get familiar with aviation stuff.

    When I retook the TBAS my PCSM went up around 14 points. That is without any more hours or AFOQT changes. When I first took the tbas I had 3 hours and 75 pilot afoqt and got a 46 pcsm. Second time i had 10 hours and my PCSM was 64 (4 more points for hours). Now is at 76 with 21 hours. Study the flashcards and work on multitasking.

    Did you ever retake the AFOQT?

    PCSM Question

    in Pilot Selection Process

    Posted

    I am a prior enlisted aviator and was wondering if my RPA Sensor Operator hours can count towards my PCSM.  I have read multiple posts about aeronautical rating doesn't matter. Is their a work around to this?  I contacted the PCSM Office, but I feel they were quick to say no. What is everyone's thoughts?

    Lol. My thoughts exactly. At $100 and hr, it's an investment I really hope to get back tomorrow. 

     

    I mean, we've seen pilot selects in that range before! Did you log combat time for your AF215? That's another bean I'm hoping helps me; I've pulled a decent amount of it for my two years 

    No I didn’t. But my LOR reflected that.
