New ASTB Spatial Appreciation Trick

[@leobrown6527]

Took the ASTB today this is 100% effective got all the answers correct on the drone portion

[@19AGJ86]

Did you pass the PFAR % or higher? And what did you study for the ANIT?

[@johnmcgehee5484]

Took it last week and only missed 4 out of the 45 or so.

[@kyleford8362]

Best video of all time on KZbin.

[@chacecleckley4620]

This is extremely helpful but I think they changed it up a little bit, or at least when I took the ASTB-E. They would tell me a degree, which I had to use to find the direction (360 would be North) then ask me where south was based off where I’m facing. The degree was on bottom and the direction they wanted me to find was on top. Examples below: West 30° South 210° North 90° - I had 48 questions like this and got some wrong. This UAV trick helped a lot but please take the time to understand the degrees and which direction they point towards. Hope this helps someone

[@cw5894]

can you give some more examples please

[@DoneDealAC]

wouldnt 30 deg be northeast and 180 be west ?

[@lizardking97654]

Took it today. Would have most likely struggled without this video, spot on. Thank you so much!

[@devonsivels58]

This also works for the TBAS

[@jonathangutierrez3265]

I was not permitted to use scrap paper or writing utensils when taking my TBAS last week. Do not count on this method alone

[@fleetr06]

@@jonathangutierrez3265 I take it in the morning. Will double check.

[@TylerLauren.]

fleetr06 how did you do? And were you able to use paper for the Tbas?

[@viarah1536]

@@TylerLauren. Curious of this too

[@ezramccollum9576]

I really appreciate you making this video

[@briannaedwards3103]

I just took my TBAS this morning. This definitely helped. Although you can't have paper in the testing room, you can mentally picture the rotations and that will definitely help you. Thanks for the awesome vid!

[@HeyBigChriss]

You’re not allowed paper? Not even for the math sections?

[@musicvibe7431]

You absolutely helped me out.Thank you!!

[@jonlocke7112]

Broh, this is going to help me so much in the morning.

[@TrollerzTV]

How'd you do!

[@tanks608]

Man you are a saint, I take the TBAS tomorrow and this has completed changed my world.

[@aj3568]

tanks608 can you use paper during the tbas?

[@tanks608]

aj3568 when I took it no, it is purely electronic. You just need to practice the “turning” mentally, the trick of this video still works wonders

[@aj3568]

tanks608 ahhh gotcha. Yeah I’m trying to do it without the paper and it’s weird. Sometimes I completely understand it and think I have it down and then the next practice question I’m completely wrong. Guess I need more practice

[@tanks608]

@@aj3568 just do those endlessly till you can get them all right. they are free points

[@TylerLauren.]

tanks608 what kind of things can you expect on the Tbas? Taking it Tuesday

[@mindyvasquez8299]

Oh my goodness! This was good! Thank you!

[@rohenry9962]

Just took it, this helped a lot. Thanks.

[@Mshake1314]

Daaaaaang bro this was smart 2021 still helping out candidates thankyou!

[@spectrebeast]

*this made so much more sense ty taking the TBAS in 2 days lol*

[@alexshotts4256]

clutch

[@xCharjx]

Invaluable. Thanks cole!

[@J-Heme]

How accurate is this? I took my ASTB once and qualified for SWO. However I was totally unprepared for this portion. This looks really promising.

[@koreyg5279]

I actually do the opposite for some reason, I move the A,B,C,D compass and pick the answer accordingly. Both work I think.

[@davidjean506]

Just passed thank you sir

[@graham2648]

Does anyone know if you get scratch paper on the Air Force TBAS in 2024?

[@djlevels2906]

Thanks for this it really helped.

[@KyleFord-gc2eh]

This is fuckin amazing. Does anyone know any tricks for the second part of the spatial part? the one that shows the drone footage and asks how many degrees you turn from above? it kills me.

[@ianmcdonald8147]

Just passed thanks for the help

[@chriscornell33]

Hey so does anyone know if were allowed to make and use a cut out piece of N,S,E,W paper to rotate or do we have to be able to mentally visualize it?

[@whatelsevictoria]

You can use your scratch paper to create this compass

[@chriscornell33]

gotcha, thanks!

[@DoneBefour]

CAn we do this method with paper on the TBAS? i take it in two weeks i have no idea what will be on there

[@DoneDealAC]

People who have taken the TBAS recently, are the questions like this?

[@adriannan4614]

thanks!

[@theacap2629]

Thank you!

[@TheReck12]

This is cool but idk this shit seems really easy even without the compass, just rotate the park in your head to line up with the arrow,

[@ordinarycouple2995]

Thanks.

[@williamnader8509]

bless you

[@radfish4161]

So...What are you flying now?

[@lolQ459]

what were your scores?

[@kodyjacobson6764]

Thanks!!

[@andrewdemott8317]

Solid idea. As they score you on speed and accuracy of answers, were you able to use this and still answer quickly?

[@neildavis4439]

Yes, once you get the hang of it, it should only take you half a second or so.

[@andrewdemott8317]

Nice. I'll practice with it a good bit over the next couple of days. I'm taking it for the second time on Monday. I was one point off on the PFAR section the first time.

[@19AGJ86]

Did you pass the second time? Are you trying out for the Marines?

[@HeyBigChriss]

Is this applicable to the Air Force TBAS?

[@jonathangutierrez3265]

I was not permitted to use scrap paper or writing utensils when taking my TBAS last week. Do not count on this method alone

[@sebastianring4134]

ty ty!

[@andresmagdaleno8251]

Is this pbm

[@19AGJ86]

What did you study for the ANIT?

[@SkateWake1994]

go on quizlet and just go through primarily historical aviation/space accomplishments as well as carrier personnel colors, acronyms, and so forth. Also, know you aeronautical knowledge as well as helicopter knowledge. There's so much info that it's pretty hard to study for every little fact they could throw at you. Look over the FAR/AIM booklet if you have it as well.

[@Ryan12592]

So basically every direction is the 180 degree opposite of where you're heading I assume.

[@SkateWake1994]

no, it can be less
