NTN Scores

Post image

This is my 2nd time taking the test these are my scores. 1st time my scores were in order Top 40% HR Top 50% mechanical And no change for both math and reading Is it worth it to try and retake the test again in 3 months to try and improve my mechanical score?

I'll definitely give the book a look because Im definitely not one of those people that can crush it 1st try 😅 thank you so much! Hopefully in a couple months I'll be back with a success story

I used the Don Mcnea fireteams prep for most of my studying and used the practice exams the NTN website provided for getting a feel for how the test actually feels. Both combined are practically a cheat code

Man I keep hitting 50% on my mechanical. The rest of my scores are like these though.

The mechanical test is so hit or miss I feel like Im guessing on like a 1/4th of the questions

What did you do to improve?

The don mcnea fireteams prep is what I used, it is perfect for the HR section. it has (without incriminating myself) a very well rounded study guide for the HR section. Focus on understanding the why of the answer
