 Not so much for "mastering" than it is for familiarization with the test June 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is deceptively titled. Although it will familiarize you with what will be on the test, it will definitely not make you a master of it.
I have not yet taken the test so I have no idea if it is so basic that this book truly does provide the "in-depth" review it promises, but this book definitely does not "build [my] confidence" because it contains only one practice test per military branch, answer explanations that are often useless because they merely restate the question, and no suggestions for further reading if you struggle with any of the sections.
It explains elementary things (e.g - you must be a certain height to be a pilot, must have a bachelor's degree, etc.) but is vague when it comes to the actual test subjects (e.g. - aviation and nautical information, which aren't covered in ASVAB or GRE prep books or on Navy.mil). Why does this book assume that you don't know that the military has height and weight requirements but that you DO know in which region of the troposphere cirrus clouds form?
Read this book if you have not done any research/preparation whatsoever (e.g. you don't know that Naval flight training is done in Pensacola, you have no idea what types of questions are on the test, etc.), but you should get another study aid if you are trying to increase a decent score or trying to get a perfect score.

The ARCO Mikitary Test Tutor is amazing! It really helps, and the practice tests are amazing!
Perfect for AFAST February 29, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this book to study for the AFAST exam. All the sections in this book mirror the fomrat of the AFAST. However, their were some slight differences:
1) The pictures in the Instrument Comprehension portion of the practice exam are extremely dated in comparison to the actual test.
2) The actual AFAST helicopter knowledge questions seemed too easy in comparison to the ARCO study guide.
3) The cyclic orientation questions were easier on the AFAST.
4) The mechanical functions portion had several questions about boats and ships, which were not in the ARCO study guide.
All the personal questions and the complex movements were pretty much exactly the same as the AFAST. Making note cards for the complex movements is a good idea. I also purchased PRINCIPLES OF HELICOPTER FLIGHT to assist with my helicopter knowledge. The diagrams, explanations, and glossary words helped me out tremendously in that book.
Overall this ARCO study guide is great for the AFAST. I scored a 134 on the exam thanks to this book.
 for AFOQT buy Barron's not ARCO February 6, 2008

I took the AFOQT in Feb 2008, if you only buy one study guide, by Barron's. The ARCO does not reflect the current 12 section test, Barron's does. Also Barron's gives you 2 practice exams, ARCO only one. The ARCO book is fine if you want another practice exam, but you need only work on the sections that are included in Barron's.
 Too Old and Too Many Errors December 26, 2007

This book is TOO OLD and there are TOO many errors! The AFOQT has been updated, and lots of the study info is either outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate. Can't afford that in the test!
