User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Avoid this one like the plague
This book is a waste of time and money. Barron’s and ARCO do a much better job of preparing you for OCS exams. Cliff Notes should be ashamed to market this product.

1 Star Absolutely Terrible
This is an aweful test prep book. I took the ASTB and used this book only for the practice tests. It created a ton of extra stress because I was convinced I was going to fail the mechanical comprehension section after taking the practice tests in this book. I am an Aerospace Engineer by profession and could answer most of the questions, but only with a physics book at my side and a graphic calculator. Absolutely terrible test prep book and it didn’t even have any spatial appreciation prep material. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. IT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

4 Stars Full of Mistakes
This book is helpful for the structure of officer tests for the military, but I found over 20 mistakes in it! Frustrating.

1 Star Waste of money
I bought this book for ASTB and was sorely disappointed. It was like someone told them the general areas the ASTB covered and they made up their own questions. It wants you to learn things that will never show up on the ASTB and then proceeds to not even mention large sections of the ASTB like the spatial reasoning portion or the Aviation and Nautical Information portion. Even ignoring these elements, the fact that the book has numerous errors made me throw mine away in disgust.

1 Star Unprepared
I’m not a rocket scientist but I’m not an idiot either. This book is one of the worst test preps I have ever seen. It contains a lot of simple mistakes I’m suprised the publishers did not catch. Plus…many of the test questions are directly recycled from the ASVAB prep book from the same author.
