Is that a bachelor's? I'm pretty sure what they mean by "Professional degree in health" is something like an MD or DDS. A bachelor's in healthcare management wouldn't count and I'm pretty sure (but not certain) that a master's in healthcare management wouldn't count either but you'd have to ask someone more informed than me; I decided not to commission and went to law school instead.

@@timwoolard1465 oh okay, so from my understanding ill need a masters? The information on it is very low and I'm was trying to see if there was a bypass for the afoot, if not ill definitely just prepare myself for it. I seen somewhere it said professional license, so maybe if I do get a bachelors in ministry, law or healthcare. Then get a pro license then maybe but idk. Thank You for the input I appreciate it.

Never

In ur opinion how hard was it and how did you score ?

Hey. Cadet here. I'm taking my AFOQT soon and I know a lot of places gave testers whiteboards with thick markers to use a scrap paper for their test, which they've said is horrible. Does the same apply to the electronic version? Or do you get some sort of digital/normal paper scrap paper to use? Thanks!

Officers learn Japanese, Enlisted cannot

I ended up separating, finishing my bachelor's in math, and now I'm applying to law school. I realized the military wasn't for me.

@@timwoolard1465got ya, glad you went through what was best for you. I’m in rotc right now and had to take this test twice after failing horribly the first time. Hopefully I can commission and join big blue. Hope everything with law school works out for you 🫡

nice vid

I was planning on doing a program that allows you to earn your bachelor's while you're still enlisted and then commission. You just have to be able to obtain your bachelor's within two years.

@@timwoolard1465you talking about rotc?

Maybe the book is 100% focused on the 10% of questions that are actually difficult. From what I remember, the math section isn't super challenging. But at this point, it's been some time since I've taken the test.

@@timwoolard1465 thanks for the response!

The AFOQT math sections involve algebra and geometry. Know how to factor polynomials.

How are you taking it a third time

@Rheale M. I had to aquire sufficient flight hours which in my case was around 50 or so, and write up an MFR with flight hours as justification. And then have that signed by my Group commander who is an O-6

How did it go?

@@danstevens64 I passed all the sections, and since Vocab went to 47, my CSO and ABM scores were 76 each

Yes

@@timwoolard1465 what is your opinion of linguist in other branches?

I worked directly with linguists from the other branches. We all did the same job. Soldiers had more Army BS to do before and after work, but they received bigger signing bonuses. The Navy and AF are basically the same, except sailors have better PCS/TDY/deployment options. I met, like, two marines and it sounds like being in the army but worse.

If you already have qualifying ASVAB and DLAB scores, there's not much to do. The Air Force tends to ignore your language background. If you really want to excel at DLI though, from what I've seen, the people who perform the best there are those with the best English skills (grammar/reading).

I never worked a weekend and I averaged probably 35 hours a week. Your results may be different. It depends on the pace of your mission, but the job tends to be cushier than most.

@@timwoolard1465 thx Tim

I was active duty so I didn't need to go through a recruiter to schedule it. I'm assuming they will allow you to take the time you need to do well, but I don't know much about the process.

This might depend on the language you get, but many linguists can basically stay on at their workplace as their military contract ends. You will have the skills to continue doing intelligence work at most of the three letter agencies. DLI is now awarding bachelor's degrees to members who go back for immediate level training. With a bachelor's in a foreign language, you can probably find work as an interpreter anywhere (if you're skilled enough in the language). Some unrelated careers still appreciate foreign language skills, so it could help your resume for other jobs, too. I'd say the job outlook for former military linguists is generally very positive.

YES!

❗️❗️💯

Calculators are not allowed. You are given scratch paper.

I'm ground and I have lots of free time but results may vary.

They gave me Spanish so DLI was easy. If they give you Korean, good luck.

@@timwoolard1465 Korean at least it's better than chinese🤣

The scores you should get are definitely much higher, but I've never gone up for OTS so I'm not sure what a good target is.

The minimum scores are percentile scores. For example, the minimum required score for Verbal is 15, which means you need to score higher than 15% of the other test-takers to whom your score is compared. A score of 50 is considered average.

I don't think so, but I don't think there are any conversions that are really necessary.

@@timwoolard1465 thanks for the info ! How long you recommend to study for the test ?

Pearson - yes.

While a bachelor's degree is required to commission, there is no education requirement to take the test.

You should probably just get a bachelors.

I also struggle to stay focused. I feel like it's a lot of information being thrown at me at once.

not sure if this is still helpful but something I do is try to bring my focus back if my mind keeps wandering after the 3rd time, then I take a break. Check in with yourself, do you need: water, food, been sitting too long, too much energy (just do a quick workout or try walking and studying if you can), or you just can't seem to study even if you take a break change activities for 10-20 minutes just something you really want to do, be happy/satisfied with it and try to study again (for me personally I would try to set my goal on time spent on the activity and not finishing activity or setting goals like if you wanna build your house in a video game, this honestly was one of the hardest things for me to figure out when i was younger). Your tolerance to studying should build up from there and eventually you'll be doing 2 hour sessions (I don't recommend studying past 2 hours straight make sure to take a break during that time but its also situational and up to you if you got momentum and want to keep going do it, but be willing to take a break if your going past 2 hours [something i struggled with a lot lol]) Hopefully this helps! GL on your exams!

Dude you’re telling me I actually have my pilot license and I scored 66.

No.

I'm nearly done with my degree in mechanical engineering at UT San Antonio. I'll use my GI bill to finish it.

@@timwoolard1465 Did you like UT San Antonio? I do know they just got some stuff built.

It probably doesn't matter. Each option should have the same likelihood of being correct. Some people believe that on any standardize test, C has a slightly higher chance of being the correct answer. These days, they just randomize the answer choices anyway, so really I just do it out of habit.

Your recruiter will probably try to pressure you into taking a linguist job if you pass the DLAB. You can always say no, but they might stop working with you.
