Official Air Force guidance describes the EDPT as paper-and-pencil and multiple choice, measuring verbal ability, symbolic reasoning, and arithmetic reasoning, with about 90 minutes allowed. It does not publish a fixed question count, fixed content weights, calculator rule, universal passing score, or pass rate. Scores are raw, and the current DAFECD supplies career-field minimums. Air Force retesting requires at least six months between administrations.

1GLOVE is to HAND as SOCK is to:
A.shoe
B.foot
C.leg
D.ankle
Explanation: A glove covers a hand; a sock covers a foot. Both are protective coverings for body parts, maintaining the same functional relationship. The analogy tests the ability to identify parallel relationships between word pairs.
2What number comes next in the series: 2, 6, 18, 54, __?
A.108
B.162
C.148
D.216
Explanation: Each number is multiplied by 3: 2×3=6, 6×3=18, 18×3=54, 54×3=162. This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 3. Recognizing multiplication patterns is a core EDPT skill.
3A store marks up merchandise by 40% above wholesale cost. If an item's retail price is $84, what was the wholesale cost?
A.$50.40
B.$56.00
C.$60.00
D.$65.00
Explanation: If wholesale cost = x, then x + 0.40x = $84, so 1.40x = $84, and x = $84 ÷ 1.40 = $60.00. The key is recognizing that the retail price equals 140% of wholesale, not subtracting 40% from retail.
4Which figure comes next in the sequence: △, □, ⬠, ⬡, __?
A.
B.
C.a 7-sided polygon
D.
Explanation: The pattern increases sides: triangle(3) → square(4) → pentagon(5) → hexagon(6) → heptagon(7). Each shape adds one side. This geometric progression tests spatial pattern recognition.
5All managers are leaders. Some leaders are innovators. Which conclusion MUST be true?
A.All managers are innovators
B.Some managers are innovators
C.Some innovators are managers
D.No valid conclusion can be drawn about managers and innovators
Explanation: While all managers are leaders, only SOME leaders are innovators. We don't know if the innovator-leaders overlap with the manager-leaders. It's possible that the innovating leaders are entirely non-managers. No definite connection between managers and innovators can be established.
6DOCTOR is to PATIENT as TEACHER is to:
A.school
B.student
C.book
D.principal
Explanation: A doctor serves/helps a patient; a teacher serves/helps a student. The relationship is professional-to-client/recipient. Both pairs show the person providing a service and the person receiving it.
7What number comes next: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, __?
A.18
B.20
C.21
D.26
Explanation: This is the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers: 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8, 5+8=13, and 8+13=21.
8A tank can be filled by pipe A in 6 hours and by pipe B in 4 hours. If both pipes are opened simultaneously, how long will it take to fill the tank?
A.2.0 hours
B.2.4 hours
C.3.0 hours
D.5.0 hours
Explanation: Pipe A fills 1/6 per hour, pipe B fills 1/4 per hour. Combined rate: 1/6 + 1/4 = 2/12 + 3/12 = 5/12 per hour. Time = 1 ÷ (5/12) = 12/5 = 2.4 hours. Rate problems require adding individual rates, not averaging times.
9Each row shows an arrow rotated 90° clockwise from the row above it. Row 1 shows an upright arrow (↑). What does Row 3 show?
A.↓ (pointing down)
B.→ (pointing right)
C.↗ (pointing up-right)
D.← (pointing left)
Explanation: Each row adds 90° clockwise. Row 1 = 0° (↑, up). Row 2 = 90° (→, right). Row 3 = 180° (↓, down). Two 90° steps from upright lands on a downward arrow.
10If the statement 'If it rains, then the ground is wet' is true, which of the following MUST also be true?
A.If the ground is wet, then it rained
B.If it does not rain, the ground is not wet
C.If the ground is not wet, then it did not rain
D.Rain is the only cause of wet ground
Explanation: This is the contrapositive: If P→Q is true, then ¬Q→¬P is also true. 'If the ground is NOT wet, then it did NOT rain.' The contrapositive is logically equivalent to the original conditional statement.

About the EDPT Exam

The EDPT is a paper-and-pencil, multiple-choice aptitude test used to screen and select personnel for career fields requiring the basic ability to complete formal courses involving programming electronic data-processing equipment. DAFMAN 36-2664 identifies three broad abilities: verbal ability, symbolic reasoning, and arithmetic reasoning. The detailed practice categories on this site are teaching subdivisions, not an official weighted blueprint.

EDPT Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practice number series patterns daily — Fibonacci, primes, squares, cubes, and alternating sequences appear frequently
2Master mental math for speed, but follow the testing office's instructions on calculators and other authorized materials
3Study word analogies systematically: antonyms, synonyms, cause-effect, tool-user, part-whole relationships
4Practice spatial reasoning with paper folding, rotation, and reflection exercises
5Learn basic formal logic: conditional statements, contrapositives, syllogisms, and truth tables
6Use timed mixed sets to build endurance for the officially stated about-90-minute administration window; do not infer a per-item pace from an unpublished item count

Frequently Asked Questions

What score do I need to pass the EDPT?

There is no universal public Air Force passing score in DAFMAN 36-2664. The manual says EDPT results are raw scores and directs testing offices to the current DAFECD for each career field's minimum. The official RI 9S100 training plan gives 57 as its program-specific initial-skills-course example, while explicitly telling readers to check the latest AFECD; do not apply 57 to another specialty.

Do I need programming experience for the EDPT?

The current public Air Force description lists verbal ability, symbolic reasoning, and arithmetic reasoning—not programming-language or computer-technology content. Its stated purpose is to evaluate basic aptitude for completing formal courses involving programming electronic data-processing equipment. Prepare the published reasoning abilities and confirm all career-field prerequisites in the current DAFECD.

Does the Air Force publish an EDPT pass rate?

No current official public pass-rate figure appears in DAFMAN 36-2664. A widely repeated figure such as 10% should not be used to predict an individual's odds. Qualification instead depends on the raw-score minimum in the current DAFECD for the specific career field.

Can I retake the EDPT?

For Air Force administration, DAFMAN 36-2664 says an examinee must wait at least six months before retaking the EDPT. The public section does not state a special shorter interval, an attempt limit, or that only the most recent score controls qualification. Confirm scheduling and score-use questions with the testing office.

What jobs require the EDPT?

DAFMAN 36-2664 says the EDPT is given to personnel applying for initial classification or retraining into career fields with an EDPT requirement in the current DAFECD. As one official example, the RI 9S100 training plan lists a minimum EDPT score of 57 for its initial skills course and warns readers to check the latest AFECD. Ask the testing office or career adviser which current requirement applies to your exact path.
