 If you're studying for the AFAST, get this book. December 28, 2008
I was studying for the AFAST and used this book as my sole study guide. There are seven sections on the AFAST and this prepared me for all of them with the exception of one. Helicopter Knowledge is a section that you may want to refer to some other books on helicopter flight principals. This book does have some practice sections on Helicopter Knowledge and you can use that information to study for quite a bit of it. Overall though, this book will prepare you for the test very well.
Great Tool September 25, 2008
Used this to prep for the AFAST. It was spot on in and I would recommend it to anyone who is going to take the test. However, you will also need to find another source to study for the helicopter section.
Comprehensive and Quality Prep Book August 25, 2008
This book teaches almost all you need to know for doing well in the AFOQT. The test subjects are well laid-out, hints are there if you run into trouble, and the language and structure makes understanding the material simple and easy.
YOU WANT THIS.
 Not so much for "mastering" than it is for familiarization with the test June 1, 2008

This book is deceptively titled. Although it will familiarize you with what will be on the test, it will definitely not make you a master of it.
I have not yet taken the test so I have no idea if it is so basic that this book truly does provide the "in-depth" review it promises, but this book definitely does not "build [my] confidence" because it contains only one practice test per military branch, answer explanations that are often useless because they merely restate the question, and no suggestions for further reading if you struggle with any of the sections.
It explains elementary things (e.g - you must be a certain height to be a pilot, must have a bachelor's degree, etc.) but is vague when it comes to the actual test subjects (e.g. - aviation and nautical information, which aren't covered in ASVAB or GRE prep books or on Navy.mil). Why does this book assume that you don't know that the military has height and weight requirements but that you DO know in which region of the troposphere cirrus clouds form?
Read this book if you have not done any research/preparation whatsoever (e.g. you don't know that Naval flight training is done in Pensacola, you have no idea what types of questions are on the test, etc.), but you should get another study aid if you are trying to increase a decent score or trying to get a perfect score.

The ARCO Mikitary Test Tutor is amazing! It really helps, and the practice tests are amazing!
