Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT)

An additional requirement for all Air Force ROTC cadets is to pass the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT).  It is a standardized test similar to the SAT with the addition of sections that test for aviation and flight related knowledge. The results of the AFOQT are broken down into 5 sections: Verbal, Quantitative, Academic Aptitude, Pilot, and Navigator. A guide to the AFOQT can be found here.

Field Training

All Air Force ROTC cadets must attend Field Training (FT). Cadets usually attend FT during the summer between their second and third years of college. The purpose of FT is to evaluate military discipline, Air Force leadership potential, and to determine the readiness for entry into the Professional Officer Course (POC) via leadership, followship, and teambuilding opportunities.
