THE AIR FORCE OFFICER QUALIFICATION TEST (AFOQT) NEW FORMAT. NEW PROCEDURES. SAME AFOQT.

The procedure for scheduling and the format for the Air Force Officer Qualification Test (AFOQT) has changed. The Air Force has contracted with Pearson Vue to administer the AFOQT E-exam which means you will no longer need to wait to schedule or to take your test. It will also eliminate much of the travel previously required as you will be able to test at any certified Pearson Vue examination site worldwide The sections and questions will remain the same as the paper version, however, the E-exam is now in an all-digital format. Additionally, most examinees finish much sooner than they would have previously as the E-exam is self-paced. Once you complete a section you can move on immediately; no more waiting for everyone else to finish

To request an AFOQT test date, the individual will contact Military Testing @ (405) 739-2970 who will forward your name and social security number to AFPC AFPC will assign and return to Military Testing a coupon code used to pay your exam fee Military Testing will send you your coupon code and scheduling instructions via e-mail.
