General Planning Tips
Set Clear Goals
Define your target AFOQT scores and the specific areas you aim to improve. Concrete goals keep you motivated and focused.
Identify Strengths and Weaknesses
Start with a diagnostic test to find your strongest and weakest areas, and allocate more study time where you need improvement.
Create a Study Space
Choose a quiet, dedicated study area to help you focus and avoid distractions.
Use a Study Journal
Track your progress daily, including topics covered, practice test scores, and areas for improvement.

Study at the same time each day. Consistency is key to retaining information and building confidence.
