AFOQT

[keh826]

Hello all!

I am a current junior nursing cadet in my detachment. I am the very first nursing student they've ever had and they don't really know what to do with me. I am supposed to take my AFOQT on Friday (not sure if this will happen now with the government shut down), and was wondering if any of you could kind of talk me through what I need to know about this test. I have absolutely no clue about what I will be "going for" (rated slots and such, obviously nursing). I am not prior enlisted and don't really have a military background so I am just kind of wondering what to expect. Any help is much appreciated!

I am a current Air Force ROTC cadet and will graduate in December. I actually took my AFOQT during the summer of my freshman year because I needed to apply for an age waiver. The test was somewhat like the SAT's but with different sections. There are several websites that offer study materials. Regardless on what career field you go into, the AFOQT is the same for everyone. You have 2 chances to take an pass it. I was nervous taking it, but scored pretty well. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions. I too am the only nursing cadet to commission from my detachment in a while, and my cadre is taking it step by step, because this is the first time that they are going through this process. I recently got my NTP location, but have no idea where my first duty station will be.
