Editorial Review: Product Description: In addition to military academies and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), the United States military services draw a significant number of officer trainees from the military enlisted ranks and from civilian college graduates, commissioning them as second lieutenants or ensigns after completing Officer Candidate School (OCS) or Officer Training School (OTS) programs. This brand-new manual prepares candidates to pass the acceptance tests for those schools. It presents in-depth reviews of all test topics, which include math knowledge and reasoning, word knowledge and reading comprehension, and general science. Specialized topic reviews include mechanical and spatial comprehension and flight aptitude. Full-length practice tests are as follows: two Air Force Officer Qualifying Tests (AFOQT); three Army/Marine Corps OCS test; and three practice tests for Navy OCS and Marine Corps/Coast Guard Aviation applicants. All tests come with answer keys. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Mistake to get this bookI bought this book and found atleast 12 problems wrong in the simple math problem... these were simple problems that if the editor would have looked through would have found. Some of the problems didn't even have the correct answer for a choice!!! Do not get this book!!!! Rating: - Riddled with mistakesI am studying to join the Air National Guard as an officer. I was refered to this book by my recruiter to begin studying for the AFOQT. Now, since I am a whiz at English and Science I did not look at those sections very carefully.

I bought this book along with the Arco and Cliffs Notes study guides, and I would have to say that it is unique. I have never seen an "educational" book with so many errors. If I would have purchased any other book with so many errors, I could have easily returned it. Barron's has not returned any of my many e-mails explaining the numerous errors that are not ven listed on the "Book Corrections" section of their web site. ...

I think someone forgot to tell this person the AFOQT is taken without a Calculator. I was more confused trying to understand the questions he was asking rather than figuring them out. If you buy this book, buy it as an addition for more practice in the other sections besides the math. I see his idea of trying to make it way harder then the actual test so it will be cake for you. Come on.. like this question would reall ... Read More Rating:  - Barron's O.C.S. Test Review GuideThis is a great reference book to prepare for any military officer test. Granted it has a few typo's but is loaded with lots of useful information.
