AFOQT Practice Test 2026! is coming soon

For iPhone and iPad.

These questions come from our app’s question bank. The app drills ten of the AFOQT’s 12 subtests, each with its real number of items and its real time limit, and shows your raw score and time left for each. Situational Judgment and the Self-Description Inventory are explained, not drilled. Table Reading, Block Counting and Instrument Comprehension are drawn on screen. It needs no account.

The rest of this guide

  • What's on the AFOQT: The AFOQT has 12 timed subtests and 516 multiple-choice questions in about five hours. Each subtest's question count and time limit, from Pearson VUE.
  • AFOQT scores and composites: AFOQT scores are not the number of questions you got right. The six result areas, what they are used for, and how long results take.
  • How to take the AFOQT: Who can take the AFOQT, how to get the voucher through a recruiter or test control officer, how to schedule with Pearson VUE, and the retake limit.
  • AFOQT study guide, subtest by subtest: What each AFOQT subtest asks, how much time you get per question, and free sources to study from for each one.
  • AFOQT questions, answered: Short, sourced answers about the AFOQT: how many questions, how long, what it costs, how many times you can take it and who uses the results.

What these questions are, and are not

They are our own practice questions, not questions from the real test. They do not cover Reading Comprehension, Situational Judgment, the Self-Description Inventory, Table Reading, Instrument Comprehension or Block Counting: the first needs long passages, and the rest are not plain text. Your score here is a count of right answers on this page. It does not predict an AFOQT score.

The Air Force’s own pamphlet says the AFOQT “is a test of your general knowledge in a large number of subject areas,” so “there is no ‘best way’ to study for it.” [Air Force AFOQT pamphlet] Our study guide goes through each subtest and where to read more.
