Jordan's AFOQT study notes

Jordan, I put this page together for you. Every scored part of the test has its own tile, with short notes and 60 practice questions behind it. Each time you open a set you get 20 of them. I wrote all of them myself, so none come from the real test.

You're a junior at LSU in AFROTC, so I added a tile called "Where this fits for you". It pulls together what afrotc.com and LSU's own detachment page say about the AFOQT at your stage. On anything about your own timeline, your detachment cadre has the last word.

Tap a tile, skim the notes, then work through the questions. When you pick an answer it tells you straight away if you got it right and why. You'll see new questions first. Once you've seen all 60, the ones you missed come back first. Each set has a timer if you want to practice at test speed.

All 11 scored sections in the real order, timed, no feedback until the end. Plan on about two and a half hours.

The test at a glance

The AFOQT is a multiple-choice test the Air Force uses to pick officers and to qualify people for pilot and other flying jobs. It's 516 questions and runs about five hours with breaks. This is the order of the sections and how long each one gets.

The number to remember is time, not difficulty. Table Reading gives you about 10 seconds a question and Word Knowledge about 12. On those, speed is most of the test.

The scores you need

ScoreMinimumWhere it comes from
Verbal15Air Force ROTC pages at Montana State, South Florida and Sacramento State
Quantitative10Same three pages
Pilot25afrotc.com, Flight Career Prep page
Combat Systems Officer25afrotc.com, Flight Career Prep page
Air Battle Manager, Remotely Piloted Aircraft pilotunknownThe afrotc.com page names minimums for pilot and CSO only. Wikipedia lists 25 for ABM, but I couldn't confirm it. Ask your cadre.
Academic AptitudeunknownI couldn't confirm a minimum from a source I trust.

These are minimums. Rated slots are competitive, and a minimum only gets you eligible. Your score is a percentile from 1 to 99, which means it compares you with other test takers.

RuleWhat I found
Waiting between tries90 days. Four sources agree: the Air Force's own recruiting guidebook (current as of February 2023), Montana State, Sacramento State and South Florida.
How many triesTwo, with a waiver for a third. The Pearson VUE page, Sacramento State and South Florida say this. The Air Force guidebook words it as up to three with a wing commander's waiver for the third.
Which score countsYour best score on each composite across all your tries. That's called superscoring.
CostFree at the Pearson VUE page's listing and at an ROTC detachment. Sacramento State says a base or third-party center may charge.
What to bringA valid ID. The first and last name must match what you registered with. For a retest, bring your earlier score sheet (South Florida).
CalculatorNothing official that I found. The Air Force's older practice pamphlet says scratch paper is provided and doesn't mention a calculator. Plan on none. Ask your recruiter to confirm.
