About the ASTB-E Exam
The ASTB-E is the officer-aviation selection battery used by the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Official ASTB-E sources describe six subtests: Math Skills Test (MST), Reading Comprehension Test (RCT), Mechanical Comprehension Test (MCT), Aviation and Nautical Information Test (ANIT), Naval Aviation Trait Facet Inventory (NATFI), and the Performance Based Measures Battery (PBM). This practice bank focuses on the objective, studyable sections plus PBM-style spatial and attitude questions; NATFI is a proprietary personality inventory and cannot be replicated as scored multiple-choice practice.

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How does the ASTB-E vocabulary game work?
Each round shows a clue for one of 20 ASTB-E terms. Guess the term in six tries: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the term but in another spot, and gray means it is not in the term. After the round, read the explanation and play the next term.
Where do the ASTB-E terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute / authorized ASTB-E testing sites content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
How many questions are on the ASTB-E?
Official ASTB-E sources do not publish a single fixed question count because the battery is computer-adaptive and presents different item combinations across administrations. The official time window is about 2 hours to 3 hours 15 minutes depending on the path through the test.
What score do I need to pass the ASTB-E?
There is no universal ASTB-E passing score. Official scoring uses OAR on a 20-80 scale and AQR, PFAR, and FOFAR on stanines from 1 to 9. Program minimums depend on branch and aviation pipeline. For example, Navy and Marine officer-selection guidance can set different thresholds for pilot, NFO, or UAS tracks.
