Officer Candidate Tests For Dummies ReviewMy experience with this book came from using it to study for the OAR exam. The three parts of the OAR exam are math, reading comprehension, and mechanical. In terms of math and reading comprehension, I thought the book prepared me well. The mathematical sections of this book thoroughly cover all of the math skills you will need to be familiar with on the OAR. In addition, the reading comprehension sections provide good tips and the questions follow a similar format to that of the OAR. However, I believe that the reading comprehension questions of this book were on average more difficult than those of the OAR. I don't really view this as a negative quality, though.
While the aforementioned qualities of the book were excellent, my overall experience with this book left more to be desired. I was most interested in both studying for the mechanical section and taking practice sections and tests to prepare me for the OAR. This book showed a very disappointing lack of editing prowess and basic utility when, although in the chapter The Tests at a Glance the book initially correctly cited the correct number of questions and time allotted (30 questions, 25 minutes - math; 27 questions, 25 minutes - reading comprehension; 30 questions, 15 minutes - mechanical) for the ASTB subtests (of which the OAR is comprised), the book's practice OAR only contained 25 math questions and 25 mechanical questions.
Adding to the lack of utility of the book's practice OAR is the fact that the mechanical section is comprised of questions that are about half similar to the OAR and half absolutely nothing like you will see on the OAR. Although the mechanical study sections of the book cover the majority (but definitely not all) of the key concepts for the OAR, it is consistent throughout the book that the practice mechanical section and the practice OAR section cover questions that are both impossible to complete without a calculator (which you will not be allowed for the OAR) and are systematically much more computationally difficult and therefore not suited to the actual OAR's 30 seconds per mechanical problem average.
The only reason this book gets a 3/5 star review is because its overview of the military, tips for how to take the test, and study ideas are overall well thought out. For my intended purposes of studying for the mechanical section of the OAR and taking practice tests, this book was very lacking in quality.Officer Candidate Tests For Dummies Overview
