Many jobs in the military for officers require specific tests instead of the general officer exams. For Navy, for instance, you'll often just take the aviation exam. The exception is for general duty officers.

Several probelms with the book. First, changes were made to the Navy's DCO program prior to 2004 that were not included in this printing. Second the ASTB has changed its format, when I don't know so that MAY be a problems with timing. HOWEVER OF THE SECTIONS OF THE ASTB THAT THE BOOK STATES ARE ON THE ASTB, ONLY TWO (2) SECTIONS WERE GIVEN IN THE BOOK TO PRACTICE ON, THE OTHERS WERE NOT INLCUDED. I am ticked of and felt I wasted my time waiting for this book and money on it. CHECK OUT ONLINE PREP SERVICES!!!!!!!!!!

I am very disappointed with this book because there are a lot of errors in it. I found the newer edition, and was disappointed to see the same typos in it. This was particularly upsetting because the typos that I noticed are in the Math sections (although I am sure they are elsewhere too) It is unfortunate there are few resources to choose from for this topic. The explanations in the math section are also poorly written. I am honestly worried about the real exam because this book gives me very little guidance.

Read Thomas Hochmann review of the book and that is about what i feel. The circit board part of the test isn't in the test any more. I took the AFOQT on March 10, 2006. The test has changed look at my other reviews to see how it has changed.
This sample questions are harder than the actual test. The math is definitly harder and some of the words are too. If you have time to find this book in a book store and have a few hours to just brows it do that to save your money.
But if you really need to buy a book to review the test buy this one and you will be very prepared for the non-technical part of the test.

The book is a good resource for practice before Military Officer Candidate Test. Amazon however, did not carry the book but still charged my bank account. I have requested a refund and get the usual " We only charge for what we send". I'll tell you they charge for what you order and put the responsability of proving otherwise on the consumer. This was the first and last time I will use Amazon. I also encourge others to shop elsewhere.
