UFTapplicant Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I am retaking my TBAS in a few weeks and was wondering has anyone seen significant results from taking it a second time? I also will be retaking the AFOQT in a month or so.
DifferentViper Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 When I retook the TBAS my PCSM went up around 14 points. That is without any more hours or AFOQT changes. When I first took the tbas I had 3 hours and 75 pilot afoqt and got a 46 pcsm. Second time i had 10 hours and my PCSM was 64 (4 more points for hours). Now is at 76 with 21 hours. Study the flashcards and work on multitasking.

HiAlph12 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) I can only speak on the AFOQT re-take. I had a 85 Pilot score and 83 PCSM at 41 hours. After I re-took the AFOQT, I had a 99 Pilot score and 94 PCSM at 41 hours. Re-taking the AFOQT is definitely a good idea! I bought a couple of AFOQT study guides and did some online ACT prep.

UFTapplicant Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 Yeah I took the AFOQT with little to no studying and knew nothing about how the Pilot score was comprised. I got a 49 and it obviously shows. My PCSM was AWFUL, I got an 11 and had no clue what the TBAS test had involved. Anywho, I rescheduled the TBAS and have the UAV orientation down great, the other things I’m 50/50. For the AFOQT I got a TRIVIUM prep book a military flight test book to get familiar with aviation stuff.
HiAlph12 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I suggest using the kongregate multitasking game. It is helpful with selective attention. There are some other great resources that have been posted in other threads, such as simulators.

Yeah I use to practice in a full get up simulator, but the way it operates is completely different and I feel I won’t master it. The multitasking I did decent. It was just the stick and rudder and the UAV orientation (which I know now) that I did miserable at. Honestly, I didn’t know that the AFOQT was a big factor in the pcsm score like I read in other posts.
DifferentViper Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I planned to retake the afoqt but got hired before I had a chance to do it. I didn't study for my first one either. I was a freshman in college and figured I was probably smart enough I didn't need to study... 19 year olds are geniuses.

What airframe did you end up being picked up on?
DifferentViper Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 KC-135. I figure I'm probably too old for fighters. Who wants to fly fighters anyway... I think 135s will fit my personality better so I'm excited.
jvlonardo Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Someone posted a TBAS game very recently, if it isn't too late look for it.
