More Description

This book aims to improve the math, mechanical, and reading skills of candidates preparing for the Aviation Selection Test Battery (ASTB) and the Selection Instrument for Flight Training (SIFT) test battery. All questions are multiple-choice and there is no penalty for guessing. Many candidates are unable to complete the math and mechanical sections within the allotted time. This is further compounded by the fact that no calculators are permitted and the math and reading tests are adaptive, which means the problems become progressively harder depending on your level of competency. This book explains key concepts and formulas so that the candidate clearly understands the foundational principles. More importantly, it provides powerful shortcuts to solve math problems quickly. In addition, essential summary notes and examples on mechanical problems are provided, together with sample questions on reading comprehension and aviation. Many examples and exercises covered in the book are frequently tested and there is an extensive set of 300 worked examples, 160 practice problems, and a final math practice test.
