The practice test bared no similarity to the actual AFAST:
1) On mechanical section, there are no numbers on real AFAST 2) The answers on the cyclic section are wrong 3) The helicopter knowledge section was much easier (and more fundamental) on the actual AFAST It's a waste of money and time. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-05-08 06:54:53 EST)

If you are studying for the AFAST DO NOT use this book. The instrument and complex movement practice sections contain numerous grievous errors. The AFAST does not contain high level math test like this book indicates, but instead mechanical concepts. It is amazing that this book was published in this apparently unedited and misinformed state. The book the Army gave me to review 15 minutes prior to testing was way better. No one in my family will every buy a cliffs test prep book again for any reason. If someone fails the test because of this crappy book I hope they sue so it gets pulled from the shelves and other don't fall victim.

Just like everyone else on here I am so pissed off. I will NEVER purchase another book from this publisher. I dont care if its the best book inthe world. Absolutely no excuse. They should refund everyones money and do a massive recall. This should be against the law. Im so pissed right now that all I can really think about is swear words. Thanks for absolutely &^%^%$# nothing.

This, like any other study guide, is good to understand what will be on the test, and how to interperet information. However, the practice tests are filled with errors. One question will have a picture and the correct answer. A few questions later, the same exact picture, but a different answer. I bought it for the AFAST, and the "complex movements" section is worse. Again, good for understanding how it works, but terrible practice tests. Two same questions, two different answers...

In preparation for the Army AFAST test I bought this book and two other study guides - I'm so glad I got the other study guides because the CliffsTestPrep is FILLED with errors. In going through one section of a sample test there were two questions with more then one possible answer (i.e. answer A was identical to answer C), and one question with NO correct answer. These types of errors are filled throughout the book; whoever was the editor on this project did a horrible job!

I got this book as a supplement to the ARCO book, to try to assist me in taking the ASTB. The Cliff book was just like all the other cliff notes I have ever bought, a brief summary, and nothing much else. I would not recommend this book to help you take the test. The ARCO had a much better bank of test questions. Its not like the test is hard, its just the CliffNotes book isnt really helpful in preperation

This study guide is great for the AFAST, all i used it for was to take the practice test, if you do that you will do fine on the test. The helo knowledge part was not even anything in this book, if your looking for that, dont buy it, not worth it. Also, the knowledge and mechanics parts of the practice test in this book are nothing like the real AFAST! The AFAST is so much easier and so common sense esp on the mechanics part of the AFAST. I bought this book blind not knowing, hope my comment helps someone with this book- in a nut shell, good for getting the "speed" down on answering questions and that is all youll need to "study" for the AFAST.

I bought this book as an introduction to the spacial apperception and aviation information sections of the ASTB. There are so many errors in the book that I started the test more confused than I would have been if I hadn't tried to study. The spacial apperception test wasn't even close to the kinds of study questions in this book and the mechanics section was far less technical than this study guide led me to believe. The officer administrating the test told me afterward that they usually recommend the ARCO guide and now I know why.

There are so many errors in this book. Its shameful. If you're a beginner trying to get an understanding of aircraft maneuvers based on gauges, dont bother with this one. It'll have you scratching your head!

I would definitely recommend this book rather than the Officer Candidate Tests book. There's much more material covered and it gives a more basic overview of what is needed than the OCT book. The OCT book gives a more technical mechanics review that is not needed and doesn't even provide half of what's covered on the AFOQT.
I bought both books, figuring they would compliment each other but also hoping they would have contrasting examples, which was not the case. So for those of you that want a more technical but less of a complete overview, the OCT book is for you. Both books have the same examples and in most cases the same questions used in the practice exams. I really feel the OCT book is not worth the money while the MFAT book is completely worth it.

I can't believe the poor job of technical editing in this book. I am a pilot and all of the Flight errors in this book will confuse you if you don't already know how to fly

The Army AFAST was way off and raised more questions than answers. The book can not be trusted. It is a big waste of time!!!!!

Cliff notes should be ashamed. Mistakes in one of their literature guides for someones book report is one thing. Mistakes in this test prep where someones career and ultimately their lifes goals are on the line, unexceptable!

I wanted another book on top of the ARCO book to study for the AFOQT for UPT purposes. I found this book had better study habits than the ARCO did. It gave me better advice for taking certain parts of the test. Yeah it has some wrong answers on it, however, the ARCO DOES TOO!!! I recommend getting both this and the ARCO book for studying. I maxed out the pilot section, so I'll say it helped me out.

I bought this book as a first step to preparing for the ASTB. This book is so full of mistakes, from BASIC math to the spacial apperception portion, that I was upset I spent any money on it. Certain sections left me more confused than when i started due to so many mistakes. The author should be ashamed to publish something with so many obvious errors. My first clue should have been the fact that the author 'retired' from the Air Force as a 1LT.

How a book gets published that blatantly screws up basic Newtonian physics I will never understand. If I had anything to do with the publication of this book I would be ashamed. The worst part is that people who read this book might be relying on it to pass one of the service flight exams, and it is so error ridden and filled with flat out wrong methods of problem solving(esp with kinematics) that it will actually hurt their ability to perform on the exam.
Please do not buy this book. Get the Arco one. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-07 14:46:46 EST)

This is one of the most error-ridden prep books I've ever seen. The editors must not have been getting paid well for this one.
There's at least one error on every page; and not just misspellings or whatnot, I found several instances where identical problems had different answers, and occasionally two identical answers were given for the same problem. Made everything much more complicated than it needed to be. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-07 14:46:47 EST)

I am in the process of studying for the AFQOT. I bought this book instead of the other test-prep books because it was the most challenging (the other books are apparently much easier than the actual test). All in all, there doesn't appear to be any single good book for the AFOQT. This book has plenty of typos, poor or no explanations, and oddly worded questions. I am not even sure if the author took any officer candidate tests himself. Buy this book if you want practice with electrical mazes, spatial apperception, etc. Don't buy it if you are trying to learn something new to you.

Lots of typo, lots of wrong answers. If you check the back of the answer sheet, it might say the answer is C. But when you look at the explaination, it refers to B. Dont buy this book if you wanna become an officer.
