In this episode you will learn: - The AFOQT consists of 12 subtests administered in a fixed, unchangeable order. - Each subtest is timed independently, and you cannot return to a previous section once its time has expired. - Pacing requirements vary dramatically, from over a minute per question in some sections to less than ten seconds in others. - The second half of the exam features rapid-fire subtests like Table Reading and Block Counting that test your speed and accuracy under extreme time pressure. - Knowing the subtest order is a critical strategy to mentally prepare for the required shifts in pacing and cognitive demands throughout the five-hour exam.
