Summary: Rather Helpful Book
Comment: First off, I scored 91st percentile on the Pilot composite, 96th on Navigator, 97th on Quantitative, 98th on Verbal, and 98th on Academic. With that out of the way...
This book and 'Officer Candidate Tests', also by Solomon Wiener, were both quite helpful to me as I prepared for the AFOQT, but really only because of the sample tests. The two books share some of the same questions but 95% of the questions are unique, and I thought that they were rather similar to the actual test with the exception of the Table Reading subtest. Be warned that there are several mistakes in the book, especially the Block Counting subtest where several of the questions don't even have the right number of blocks as a choice, but if you make a point to double check all of the answers you missed, you should be able to figure out whether you or the book are correct.
I strongly recommend that you take the full sample test under timed conditions, it will give you a very good idea how you'll do on the real AFOQT. And when you sit for the test, especially the Block Counting and Table Reading subtests, try to be careful: it's easy to mark the wrong box and not realize it for several more questions, totally messing up that test. That's actually what 'ruined' my pilot score. Ignore the AFOQT answer sheet in the book, the actual test just has one sheet with all the little circles you fill in just like the SAT.
Having taken the sample tests beforehand, if nothing else, made me feel much more relaxed going into the test. If you can do well on the samples, you'll be fine on the real AFOQT. If you're going in for a technical position, I strongly recommend you go through the other book mentioned at the top of this review as well, as it focuses on the 6 subtests that are supposed to really matter for you, and I think the tests in that one were harder than this book. Wouldn't hurt you would-be fly-boys either.
I strongly recommend this book if you are at all nervous about the AFOQT as it will help build some confidence before you take the real thing, but I only give it 4 stars because of the numerous mistakes in the answer section. Just double check all your answers and you'll be fine.

Summary: How to ace the AFOQT
Comment: I purchased this study guide in order to prepare me for the Air Force Officer's Qualifying Test (AFOQT). It gave me everything necessary to ace the test (it also contains a complete AFOQT sample test). When I took the AFOQT I scored a 95 out of a possible 99 on the pilot composite. Trust me get this book if you want a pilot slot. This book also contains valuable information on Army, Navy/Marine Flight Aptitude test.

Summary: A decent first start
Comment: I have taken two tests out of this book, the Army AFAST, and the Navy and Marine Corps Aviation Selection Battery, in real life. Contextually, the book is dead on, however, do not rely on it as your soul source of information. If you are serious about becoming a pilot, READ READ READ. Go out and get books on the aircraft you want to fly (i.e. fixed wing or rotary). This book is good in that it will show you exactly what the formats look like, but it does not do a lot in preparing you for the questions on the test beyond what is in the book.
If you are looking to get high scores on your aptitude tests, practice, read, and absorb everything you can about the tests that are in the book. Find your weaknesses, and focus your attentions on them. I speak from experience. By studying hard for both tests, I was able to achieve above the 99 percentile on both tests. You can do it as well, but not with just one book, not with just any book.
This book is a good start, and as such will allow you to format what you have to do. The text of the book is very easy to read, and is almost word for word what is in the pamphlets the test repairers will give you. Still, I would read it cover to cover. Even if you are just going to do the Army's AFAST, it does not hurt to be proficient in the Air Forces or the Navy/Marine Corps Tests. Everything you learn will always be a help.
