He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - USAFA cadets take their official AFOQT for rated consideration during their "firstie" (senior) year. - The rated selection board uses a "whole person" concept, evaluating AFOQT scores, GPA, military performance, and leadership. - Aspiring pilots must complete the Test of Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS) which, combined with the AFOQT pilot score and flight hours, creates the PCSM score. - Pilot and other rated career slot allocations are typically announced shortly before graduation, making the senior year a critical period. - Many USAFA cadets are highly competitive from the start due to a culture of extensive preparation leading to high baseline AFOQT scores.
