    • The Air Force Officer Qualification Test (AFOQT) is a standardized test that measures verbal and mathematical aptitude (similar to the SAT and ACT) as well as additional aptitudes relevant to specific career fields (e.g. pilot, combat systems officer, air battle manager, RPA).
    • Per AFROTCI 36-2011 Vol 3, you must take your first AFOQT attempt no later than the end of your first AFROTC term.
    • Cadets can access DAF approved study preparation materials at https://access.afpc.af.mil/pcsmdmz/Form%20T.HTML.  Additionally, they may use any other materials related to the areas assessed by the AFOQT that are selected based on the general AFOQT taxonomy of content without knowledge of actual AFOQT content.
    • Note: Examinees who have never taken the AFOQT may only participate in study sessions with other individuals who have not taken the AFOQT.
