    Did anyone hear back from the 190th FS (Boise)? 

    Their app guide had said they'd make notifications by Dec. 20th, but I'm holding out hope that with the holidays maybe there's a chance that things changed. Thanks all.

    they sent out interview requests on the 21st I believe. they don't send out TBNTs

    Can someone explain the different "commitments/obligations" to me? I know you have a 10 year commitment locked in once you get your wings but what is your commitment if you swear in and go through OTS but don't get winged (for whatever reason)? And is there a commitment if you swear in but then can't pass the FC1 afterwards? None of this affects my interest, just nice to know upfront the different possibilities.

    In years past they kind of only informed people who were close to getting an interview - or rushed. 
     

    totally get the issues going cross country to rush, I wanted to go to the Vermont one then I looked at the costs of flights 😬

    Gotcha, makes sense. And yeah it's tough, I've been rushing all over the place east of the Mississippi which is hard enough with costs as it is, let alone going to all the units much further away too.

    Yeah was there a couple weeks ago, you?

    Nah I applied but couldn't make it across the country to rush. I haven't heard anything from them so wondering if they were being more communicative with people that rushed and I'm just being ghosted or if I may still have a chance at an interview. Was it a generic mass email type TBNT or more personal?

    Does anyone know if there is another place or platform where applicants are sharing gouge/info? This thread has been ghost-town lately  

    Bogidope has a bootcamp thing that brought a bunch of people together in a forum on their website and a whatsapp chat I think. Otherwise I've mostly been talking to people I've met at rushes/visits. Still monitor this thread once in a while but like you said not much going on here...

    I saw that email but filled mine out just fine without seeing anything about a $50 fee. I just input my info and submitted. 

    It was just that Google form right?

    Yeah they must've updated the Google form taking out the fee question after sending out the 2nd email explaining that the $50 was not required and that paying would provide "app review services." There was initially a question basically saying "Are you willing to pay $50 to be considered for this UPT slot?" with answers of "yes" or "No I won't pay $50 and do not want to be considered" and a Venmo code to scan to pay it...

    There is no emergency situation subtest. And your numbers look good - I would keep up with what you’re doing and just try to beat yourself. Based on your performance you should do very well.

    I had a 97 pilot as well.

    Sounds good, thanks for the insight. Have been making more progress since that post so feeling confident.

    Get to 70-80% on target for tracking. High as humanly possible for multitasking - keep improving. Click an answer the second the prompt finishes talking for directional orientation. Less than or around 1 second response time with 100% accuracy.

    I got a 97 @42 hours prior to the score change

    Thanks dude, what was your afoqt pilot score? Mine was 97 and I'm well over the 60 hours so my PCSM should be great as long as I do well on the TBAS.

     

    Getting around 66% (for both) most of the time on the combined tracking (with the default settings), haven't done it separated out but will try that too and expect it to be much higher. I'll keep working to get it higher but haven't seen much progress the past few days.

     

    Directional orientation has been easy, at 100% at around .8 response time, been doing about 50 at a time -- thoughts on that, should I do more/less in one sitting?

     

    Any idea what numbers you had for multitasking? I feel pretty confident about mine and this I have progressed a lot on. Started at around 800 total score in 10 minutes, now up to 1283 on my most recent try (310 letters, 699 math, 229 gauge, 45 radio). Any thoughts on if doing that in 10 minute increments makes sense, or should I go longer/shorter?

     

    Also, the software doesn't have the emergency situation subtest on it, and it doesn't appear to be mentioned on the official PCSM website under TBAS info, was this removed from the TBAS? 

     

    Anything else you can provide is much appreciated, well aware of them not wanting people to share info from the actual test so if there's things you can't share in response to my questions, understood.

    For those that have used tbastestprep.com and their software, can anyone provide a reference of scores they were getting on the software for the different subtests, and if you have already taken the TBAS what PCSM score you got along with pilot score & hours? Trying to gauge where I'm at if possible, just got the software over the weekend and have the TBAS scheduled for October.

     

    For example, on the airplane & horizontal tracking test on the software I've been getting around 20-25k so far, I'm sure I'll be able to improve that with practice and that's my goal this next month to improve as much as possible, but would be nice to have an idea whether that is a good start or not. I know the scoring of the actual TBAS is confidential just looking for some little bit of correlation if possible. Appreciate it.
