Barron's Military Flight Aptitude Tests

I am a cadet in an Air Force ROTC program and just took the AFOQT. Other cadets and myself spent a lot of time studying together and I saw several different test prep books by this one was by far the best. I say this because the rotated blocks and instrument reading in THIS book looked EXACTLY like how they are on the actual AFOQT. Even the hidden figures used in BARRON's book were the same figures that I had to look for on the test (of course they were different puzzles though). And let me tell you... some other test prep books didnt even come close to looking how the actually AFOQT does. Also, all of the review sections in this book really help freshen up those verbal, science, and aviation information questions with detailed explanations of the answers so you can learn the concepts! 5 Stars!

The book gives a good overview of the topics on the exam. It also clarifies well which sections are important for each of the different exams so you don't waste valuable study time studying things that are not going to be on your exam. It provides the right amount of material without going too in depth about things that you already know. The practice exams are helpful but also have explanations in the answer key for why a certain answer is correct.

I am using this book as an incentive to establish a motivation and focus for my 16 year olds studies. He would love to be a pilot but I felt he needed a good grasp of the knowledge needed to reach his goal. This book does that and even exceeds my expectations to equip my son for further testing and studies.

If you are taking the AFOQT buy the Barron's study book. I just took the test (Feb 2008) and the Barron's practice exams are spot on. The only difference from the practice exam in Barron's and the real thing is that in the Table Reading section, it is one giant "x and y" table on the real test, but don't worry, if you prepare by using the table section in Barron's you should do fine. The AFOQT has been changed since the publication of the ARCO and Cliffprep books, the current exam consists of 12 parts (including the personal survey). Also, you can expect the same type of questions in the Rotating Blocks section, but on the real test they are slightly more challenging. My advice is to work on your speed for each section in the practice exams, finishing all the questions is the most challenging part of the real test.

This book is the best one out there to help prepare for any service's flight aptitude test! It's the most up to date and it has really helpful review info and problems. The best part is that the answers to the practice tests are explained thoroughly--something the other books don't do so well. I found a few typos, but the publisher says they have been corrected in the most recent reprint. Recommend it highly!
