<\/span>What is the AFOQT?<\/h2>\n

The AFOQT (Air Force Officer Qualifying Test) is aimed specifically at individuals seeking entry into the United States Air Force. The Air Force has designated the AFOQT as a required step for incoming officers to prove they have gained the necessary skills and knowledge to fulfill their duties properly. No potential recruit can become an Air Force officer without first taking and passing this exam. After doing so, the recruit can be selected to undergo initial training procedures.<\/p>\n

<\/span>AFOQT vs. ASVAB<\/h3>\n

The AFOQT and the ASVAB are somewhat similar tests, but there are some important differences. The AFOQT, which contains more subtests and more questions than the ASVAB, is specifically for those wishing to enlist in the Airforce, while the ASVAB is for those who want to enlist anywhere in the Armed Forces. The AFOQT is also aimed toward college students, while the ASVAB is intended for high-school students.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Exam Outline<\/h2>\n

The AFOQT exam is composed of 516 multiple-choice questions. The exam lasts about five hours including breaks, with 3 hours and 23 minutes to answer questions. Each section of the exam is timed, and the time limit for each section varies.<\/p>\n

The AFOQT features 12 subtests in all. Each subtest caters to one of the skills an entry-level Air Force officer will need to utilize throughout their training as well as within the professional environment.<\/p>\n
