1. How do I know which version of the AFOQT I took?
When you check your scores on the AFOQT website https://afmilpers.us.af.mil/AFOQTSNet40/DODBanner.aspx
The “Form/Version” will be listed as “AFOQT Superscore T/5” or “AFOQT Superscore T/6” if you took the new Form T version. (See question #4 for Superscoring info)
2. If my new AFOQT or PCSM score is lower than my old score, can I re-test?
All applicants may re-test on the AFOQT (regardless of whether your score increased or decreased).
AFOQT administrations require a minimum of 90 days between testing sessions (per AFMAN 36-2664).
TBAS re-testing policy was recently changed (limited to three lifetime attempts, with a minimum of 90 days between testing sessions).
3. What do my AFOQT scores mean?
AFOQT scores are reported as a 1-99 percentile ranking indicating your standing (how you “rack and stack”) relative to other AFOQT examinees. AFOQT scores do NOT refer to the raw number or percentage of test questions you answered correctly.
The AFOQT consists of 12 subtests. Subtest scores are combined to generate composite scores used to help predict success in certain types of Air Force training programs. Your raw score (number correct for one or more subtests) is converted to the percentage of the normative sample that scored below you. For example, a Quantitative score of 10 indicates your raw scores on the Arithmetic Reasoning and Math Knowledge subtests were the same or better than 10% of the normative sample who took the test. Many examinees (approximately 1 in 100) will receive a Quant score of 1, even though nearly all of these examinees would have answered much more than 1% of the math questions correctly.
Form T was normed against a representative sample of the current applicant pool to more accurately indicate an individual’s percentile ranking relative to Fall 2014 applicants. Because the applicant pool has become more competitive over time (e.g., since implementation of Form S in 2005) scoring at or above the 10th (Quant) or 15th (Verbal) percentile has become more challenging.
In order to improve your AFOQT scores, you should focus on improving your knowledge and abilities of all AFOQT subtests areas that contribute to each composite score as explained in the AFOQT Information Pamphlet, dated August 1, 2014.
The official AFOQT Information Pamphlet, including composite descriptions, is available at: https://access.afpc.af.mil/pcsmdmz/Form T/a_AFOQT Pamphlet 2014_20150825
4. What does AFOQT Super Score mean and how does it work?
AFOQT Superscoring means that we calculate as the score of record, the best composite scores amongst all valid test administrations that an individual has attempted. Only AFOQT version T1/T2 and T7/T8 scores are valid and used for Superscoring. Superscoring will be used across all composite scores i.e (Pilot, CSO, Academic, Verbal, Quant, and ABM). For superscoring, an applicant’s best composite score on any test attempt will be used as the score of record. If a composite score is used from an earlier administration the examinee’s AFOQT record must be updated. The AFOQT website reported qualifying score version ID should be T5 if the most recent previous administration was T1. It should be T6 if the most recent previous administration was T2.
