FREE AFOQT Math Practice Test
TL;DR: Thinking about Air Force OTS? The AFOQT Math sections are tight: no calculator, no formula sheet, and limited time. Take this free practice test covering both Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) and Math Knowledge (MK) for a realistic feel. Work every problem by hand the way the real test demands. You’ll learn the pacing as much as the math, and weak topics will surface in time to firm them up.
Key takeaways:
- AFOQT Form T has 11 subtests; the two math subtests are Arithmetic Reasoning and Math Knowledge.
- Arithmetic Reasoning: 25 questions in 29 minutes.
- Math Knowledge: 25 questions in 22 minutes.
- No calculator and no formula sheet.
- Quantitative composite (AR + MK) minimum to qualify is 15; competitive applicants typically score 70+.

Answers:
1- A
Let \(x\) be the number of new shoes the team can purchase. Therefore, the team can purchase \(120 x\).
The team had $20,000 and spent \($14000\). Now the team can spend on new shoes \($6000\) at most.
Now, write the inequality:
\(120x+14,000 {\leq}20,000\)
2- B
The perimeter of the trapezoid is \(36 cm\).
Therefore, the missing side (height) is =\( 36 – 8 – 12 – 6 = 10\)
Area of a trapezoid: \(A = \frac{1}{2} h ({b_{1} + b_{2}}) = \frac{1}{2} (10) (6 + 8) = 70\)
3- B
Use simple interest formula:
\(I=prt\)
\((I = interest, p = principal, r = rate, t = time)\)
\(=(12000)(0.035)(2)=840\)
4- D
Solve for \(x\).
\(-2 {\leq} 2x-4 < 8 ⇒\) (add 4 all sides) \(-2+4 {\leq} 2x-4+4 < 8+4 {\Rightarrow}\)
\(2{\leq}2x<12 {\Rightarrow}\) (divide all sides by 2) \(1 {\leq}x < 6\)
\(x\) is between \(1\) and \(6\).
5- C
Three times of \(24,000\) is \(72,000\). One-sixth of them canceled their tickets.
One sixth of \972,000\) equals \(12,000\) \((\frac{1}{6}\) \(\times\) \(72000\) = \(12000)\).
\(60,000\) \((72000 – 12000 = 60000)\) fans are attending this week
6- D
The equation of a line is in the form of \(y=mx+b\), where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept of the line.
Two points \(4,3\) and \(3,2\) are on line A. Therefore, the slope of the line A is:
slope of line \(A=\frac{(y_2- y_1)}{(x_2 – x_1) } =\frac{2-3}{3-4} = \frac{-1}{-1}\)
The slope of line A is 1. Thus, the formula of the line A is:
\(y=mx+b=x+b\), choose a point and plug in the values of x and y in the equation to solve for b. Let’s choose point \(4, 3\). Then:
\(y=x+b\)\(\rightarrow\)\(3=4+b\)\(\rightarrow\)\(b=3-4=-1\)
The equation of line A is: \(y=x-1\)
Now, let’s review the choices provided:
A. \((-1,2)\) \(y=x-1\)\(\rightarrow\)\(2=-1-1=-2\) (This is not true.)
B. \((5,7)\) \(y=x-1\)\(\rightarrow\)\(7=5-1=4\) (This is not true.)
C. \((3,4)\) \(y=x-1\)\(\rightarrow\)\(4=3-1=2\) (This is not true.)
D. \((-1,-2)\) \(y=x-1\)\(\rightarrow\)\(-2=-1-1=-2\) (This is true!)
7- B
Plug in 104 for F and then solve for C.
\(C = \frac{5}{6} (F – 32) {\Rightarrow} C = \frac{5}{9} (104 – 32) {\Rightarrow} C = \frac{5}{9} (72) = 40\)
8- A
First, find the number.
Let \(x\) be the number. Write the equation and solve for \(x\).
\(150\%\) of a number is 75, then:
\(1.5{\times}x=75 {\Rightarrow} x=75{\div}1.5=50\)
\(90\%\) of 50 is:
\(0.9 {\times} 50 = 45\)
9- B
Simplify and combine like terms.
\((6x^3-8x^2+2x^4 )-(4x^2-2x^4+2x^3 ) {\Rightarrow} (6x^3-8x^2+2x^4 )-4x^2+2x^4-2x^3 {\Rightarrow}
4x^4+4x^3-12x^2\)
10- C
the population is increased by \(15\%\) and \(20\%\).
\(15\%\) increase changes the population to \(115\%\) of original population.
For the second increase, multiply the result by \(120\%\).
\((1.15)\) \(\times\) \((1.20)\) = \(1.38\) = \(138\%\)
38 percent of the population is increased after two years.
11- C
To find the discount, multiply the number by \(100{%} -\) rate of discount.
Therefore, for the first discount we get: \(200\) \(100{%} – 15{%}\) = \(200\) \(0.85\) = \(170\)
For the next 15{%} discount: \(200\) \(0.85\) \(0.85\)
12- A
In the stadium, the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:7. Therefore, total number of fans must be divisible by \(12: 5 + 7 = 12\).
Let’s review the choices:
A. \(12,324: 12,324 (\div ) 12 = 1027\)
B. \(42,326 42,326 (\div ) 12 = 3,527.166\)
C. \(44,566 44,566 (\div ) 12 = 3,713.833\)
D. \(66,812 66,812 (\div ) 12 = 5,567.666\)
Only choice A when divided by 12 results a whole number.
13- C
\(60 – 42 = 18\) male students
\(\frac{18}{60} = 0.3 \)
Change 0.3 to percent ⇒\(0.3 × 100\) =\(30\%\)
14- A
\((x+2y=4)\). Plug in the values of x and y from choices provided. Then:
A. \(-2,3\) \(x+2y=4\)\(\rightarrow \)\(-2+2(3)=4\)\(\rightarrow \)\(-2+6=4\) (This is true!)
B. \((1,2)\) \(x+2y=4\)\(\rightarrow\)\(1+2(2)=4\)\(\rightarrow\)\(1+4=4\) (This is NOT true!)
C. \((-1,3)\) \(x+2y=4\)\(\rightarrow \)\(-1+2(3)=4\)\(\rightarrow\)\(-1+6=4\) (This is NOT true!)
D. \((-3,4)\) \(x+2y=4\)\(\rightarrow\)\(-3+2(4)=4\)\(\rightarrow\)\(-3+8=4\) (This is NOT true!)
15- A
Emma’s three best times are 54, 57, and 57.
The average of these numbers is:
average \(=\frac{sum}{total}\)
Sum \(= 54 + 57 + 57 = 168\)
Total number of numbers = 3
average \(=\frac{168}{3}=56\)
16- D
Let \(x\) be the integer. Then:
\(2x – 5 = 83\)
Add 5 both sides: \(2x = 88\)
Divide both sides by 2:\( x = 44\)
17- A
The area of a 15 feet\(x\) 15 feet room is 225 square feet.
\(15 × 15 = 225\)
18- C
\(11 \times 36 + 6 \times 12 + 4 = 47\)
19- C
To find the number of possible outfit combinations, multiply number of options for each factor:
\(3\) \(\times\) \(5\) \(\times\) \(4 = 60\)
20- B
Let \(x\) be the smallest number. Then, these are the numbers:
\( x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4 \)
average =\(\frac{sum of terms}{number of terms} \Rightarrow 38 = \frac{x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)}{5} \Rightarrow 38= \frac{5x+10}{5} \Rightarrow 190 = 5x+10 \Rightarrow 180 = 5x \Rightarrow x=36\)

Frequently Asked Questions
How many math subtests are on the AFOQT?
Two: Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) and Math Knowledge (MK). AR is 25 questions in 29 minutes, focused on applied math word problems. MK is 25 questions in 22 minutes, focused on algebra, geometry, and number theory.
Is a calculator allowed on the AFOQT?
No. The AFOQT is administered without a calculator on every subtest. Practice mental arithmetic, fraction work, and quick estimation strategies before test day.
Is there a formula sheet on the AFOQT?
No. The AFOQT does not provide a formula reference. Walk in with area, perimeter, volume, slope, the Pythagorean theorem, the quadratic formula, and exponent rules memorized cold.
What’s the minimum Quantitative score to qualify?
The minimum AFOQT score to be considered for most Air Force officer training programs is 15 in the Quantitative composite and 15 in the Verbal composite. Pilot candidates need higher in the Pilot composite (usually 25+). Most competitive applicants score in the 70s or higher.
What math topics are on the AFOQT?
AR covers arithmetic word problems: fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, work/rate problems, mixture problems, and basic probability. MK covers algebra (equations, exponents, factoring, radicals), geometry (area, volume, angles, triangles), and number properties.
How long is the AFOQT test in total?
About 3.5 hours of testing time across 11 subtests on AFOQT Form T, plus around an hour of administrative time. The two math sections together take 51 minutes (29 + 22).
How is the AFOQT scored?
Raw scores convert to percentile scores from 1 to 99 in six composite areas: Pilot, Combat Systems Officer (CSO), Air Battle Manager (ABM), Academic Aptitude, Verbal, and Quantitative. Each composite uses a different weighted combination of subtests.
Can I retake the AFOQT?
Yes, but only once. You must wait 150 days between attempts, and the most recent score replaces the prior score (not the higher of the two). Don’t retake unless you’ve changed something substantial in your prep.
How long should I study for the AFOQT?
Most successful candidates put in 8 to 12 weeks of dedicated study at 60-90 minutes per day, with about half that time on math. Prioritize the topics where you can move from weak to strong fastest — algebra fundamentals and geometry formulas usually give the biggest score lift per study hour.
What’s the difference between AFOQT and ASVAB math?
The AFOQT math is harder and more compressed. AR on the AFOQT has the same general format as ASVAB AR but with more multi-step word problems. MK on the AFOQT runs heavier on algebra and includes more advanced topics. The AFOQT is officer-track only; the ASVAB is for enlisted entry.
