Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) Advice

"I would highly recommend the ARCO book. There is one called Officer Candidate Tests and another called Military Flight Aptitude Tests I studied for about four weeks and did a few full strictly timed practice tests and ended up making a 98 on Pilot and 95 on Nav when I took the real one last July. I found that many of the practice problems were more difficult than those on the test. The book was a great asset to my scores. Good luck!

How to Win
a ROTC Scholarship
As a father trying to help his son get a scholarship, this book was a blessing. Not a whole lot of fluff in here, this book gives it to you the ways it is. The insight into how the process worked really helped. The guidance obviously worked; my son received a full 4 year Naval ROTC scholarship! AWESOME! I can't tell you how much tuition this book saved our family! And more importantly, our son can serve his country.
