If you appreciate all the help you can get – check out some of the study tips listed below. And, if there’s something missing that worked for you please let us know!
Before you dive in – take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the AFOQT ‘Form T’ format. The ‘Hidden Figure‘ and ‘Rotated Block‘ Subtests are NO LONGER on the AFOQT. The ‘Situational Judgment‘ and ‘Reading Comprehension‘ Subtests are now in place. The ‘General Science‘ Subtest has also been swapped out in favor of the ‘Physical Science‘ Subtest.
The AFOQT is scored across 6 composites: Pilot, Combat Systems Officer (CSO), Air Battle Manager (ABM), Academic Aptitude (AA), Verbal and Quantitative. Each composite consists of a different compilation of subtests. However, upon completion of the test you only will receive 5 composite scores, since the Air Force does not release ABM scores.
Composite scores are curved, and range from 0-99. For example, if you receive a Verbal Composite score of 88, this indicates you scored better than 88% of test-takers in your cohort. Composite scores do not represent the overall percentage of problems that you answered correctly.
The Air Force does not disclose exactly how each subtest within a given composite score is weighted. However, the official AFOQT Form T Information Pamphlet does provide a breakdown of the subtests utilized to formulate each composite score.
The AFOQT Form T Test takes close to 5 hours to complete when factoring in time for instructions and breaks. Actual test time (i.e., time spent answering questions) is 3 hours 36 minutes.

This is up to you (unless you are a cadet). There are testing locations nationwide (often at Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS)). Get with your recruiter and/or ROTC point of contact for more detailed information.
Where you take the AFOQT will depend upon your current location. If you are a cadet in an ROTC program, you’re likely aware of where/when you’ll be taking the AFOQT. If not, ask a fellow cadet or one of your instructors at your detachment – someone will be able to point you in the right direction.
College graduates who are interested in joining the Air Force will need to contact an Air Force officer recruiter to schedule their AFOQT – you’ll take your test at the nearest Military Entrance Processing (MEP’s) location.
Twice. The Air Force now authorizes the use of the highest Air Force Officer Qualifying Test composite scores from any AFOQT administration (also known as the ‘AFOQT Super Score’). For instance, if your initial Air Battle Manager (ABM) composite score was 88 and your subsequent ABM composite score was a 72 – the 88 would be recognized as your official score.
The AFOQT is broken into 12 subtests. See the AFOQT Format page for detailed information.
