Testing

Ceremony

AFROTC Det 158 is also a testing center. We coordinate with other recruiters, detachments, and units to provide support to the overall AF mission of commissioning quality leaders. Keep in mind if you are not a part of Det 158, our cadets take priority for all testing which means you can be bumped if necessary from your prescribed testing time. You will not receive a confirmation e-mail of your testing time. If you put your information in then you can safely assume that's your test date. The only time you will be contacted regarding testing is if we have to move your test date. Please use the link below to sign up for testing. Make sure that you bring all of the necessary items below.  For more information on testing, contact Major de Jesus at adejesus22@usf.edu.

Air Force Officer Qualification Test (AFOQT)

The AFOQT is used to help select candidates for officer commissioning programs and to classify commissioned officers into utilization specialties such as pilot, combat system operators, air battle manager, or technical. Air Force Officer Qualifying Test scores are also used as a quality metric in the integrated officer classification model.

Officer candidates with higher Verbal and Quantitative composite scores have a greater likelihood of success in university coursework, basic officer training, and technical training; and a greater likelihood of officer promotion throughout their career.

If you are taking the AFOQT for the second time, you will need to notify the test administrator upon booking your appointment. You must to bring your previous AFOQT score sheet. If this is your third time taking the test you will need to bring your previous AFOQT score printouts and an approval letter from AFPC or AFROTC allowing a second retest.

Dress Code: wear something comfortable, professional and appropriate for the setting or you will be asked to leave.
Time: testing begins promptly at 0900 and is done by 1400
Location: 
CWY Building on USF

Test of Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS)

The TBAS measures cognitive, multi-tasking, and psychomotor attributes predictive of success in Air Force pilot (including RPA) training programs. A pilot candidate’s AFOQT Pilot score and FAA certified flying or Aviation Training Device (ATD) hours are combined with the TBAS measurements to formulate a Pilot Candidate Selection Method (PCSM) score. Pilot selection boards receive each candidate’s PCSM composite score on a percentile scale of 1 to 99. PCSM assists pilot selection boards to select candidates most likely to successfully complete undergraduate pilot training.

You are permitted three attempts at least 90 days apart. TBAS scores remain valid indefinitely and are not superscored (so if you do worse on a second or third attempt, that is your new PCSM). To take the TBAS, you should have already taken the AFOQT or EPQT, or your PCSM will not be calculated. Your AFOQT Pilot composite superscore, TBAS, and updated flying hours are used to compute the PCSM score of record.  On the day of your test, please bring with you the following items:

  • Candidate Questionnaire: Fill this out, but DO NOT sign and date it.
  • Flight Log: For those that have completed flying training and have hours flying.
  • Transcript: If you've completed any college your transcript is required.
  • AFOQT Score: Bring a printed copy of all previous AFOQT scores; this includes your ABM score from PCSM.

Dress Code: Wear something comfortable, professional, and appropriate for the setting or you will be asked to leave.
Time: Testing will take about 1.5 - 2 hours, self-paced.
