AFOQT Information PamphletIntroduction
This pamphlet is made available to familiarize prospective examinees with the structure and
layout of the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT). It is not designed nor should it be
used as a study guide. The AFOQT measures aptitudes used to select candidates for officer
commissioning programs and specific commissioned officer training programs.
The AFOQT consists of 12 subtests. Subtest scores are combined to generate one or more of
five composite scores used to help predict success in certain types of Air Force training
programs.
The five AFOQT composites and the kinds of knowledge and abilities they measure are
described below.
1. Pilot. This composite measures some of the knowledge and abilities considered necessary
for successful completion of pilot training. The Pilot composite includes subtests which measure
quantitative ability, the ability to determine aircraft attitude from instruments, knowledge of
aeronautical concepts, and perceptual speed.
2. Navigator-Technical. This composite measures some of the knowledge and abilities
considered necessary for successful completion of navigator training. The Navigator-Technical
composite shares some subtests with the Pilot composite, with the exception that measures of an
ability to determine aircraft attitude and knowledge of aeronautical concepts are not included.
However, subtests are added measuring verbal aptitude, some spatial abilities, perceptual speed,
and knowledge of general science.
3. Academic Aptitude. This composite measures verbal and quantitative knowledge and
abilities. The Academic Aptitude composite combines all subtests that make up the Verbal and
Quantitative composites.
4. Verbal. This composite measures verbal knowledge and abilities. The Verbal composite
has subtests which measure the ability to reason and recognize relationships among words and
the ability to understand synonyms.
5. Quantitative. This composite measures quantitative knowledge and abilities. The
Quantitative composite shares subtests with the Navigator-Technical composite discussed above
and has subtests which measure the ability to understand and reason with arithmetic relationships
and to use mathematical terms, formulas, and relationships.
AFOQT subtests and aptitude composites are shown in Table 1. Table 2 is the testing schedule
for the AFOQT.
