AFOQT Score Calculation Formula (Mock)
The official AFOQT scoring system is complex and uses norming tables based on a standardization group. The formula below is a highly simplified model to estimate an equivalent percentile score (0-99) for the Academic Aptitude component based on four core subtests.
R_max = 100
Score_Academic = ROUND( (R_total / R_max) * 70 + 30 )

Variables
The calculator uses the following raw scores (number of correct answers) as input, with an assumed maximum of 25 questions each for this mock calculation.
- Verbal Analogies (VA): Measures vocabulary and the ability to reason using word relationships.
- Word Knowledge (WK): Measures vocabulary and knowledge of word meanings.
- Arithmetic Reasoning (AR): Measures the ability to solve mathematical problems presented in verbal format.
- Math Knowledge (MK): Measures knowledge of basic mathematical principles and concepts.

What is the AFOQT Score Calculator?
The AFOQT (Air Force Officer Qualifying Test) is a mandatory test for commissioning as an officer in the U.S. Air Force or Space Force. The test measures aptitude in several areas, combining subtest scores into five main composite scores: Pilot, Combat Systems Officer (CSO), Air Battle Manager (ABM), Academic Aptitude, and Verbal/Quantitative scores.
This calculator specifically focuses on simulating the key components that feed into the Academic Aptitude, Verbal, and Quantitative composites. These scores are reported as percentiles (0 to 99), indicating how an individual’s performance compares to a reference group.
A competitive score is essential for selection boards, as it demonstrates the foundational cognitive abilities required for officer training and successful military leadership. Scores are typically valid for two years.
How to Calculate Estimated AFOQT Scores (Example)
Let’s use an example to see how the scores are estimated using the raw inputs:
- Input Raw Scores: Suppose a candidate scores VA=20, WK=22, AR=18, and MK=15.
- Calculate Total Raw Score (R_total): $20 + 22 + 18 + 15 = 75$.
- Calculate Mock Academic Aptitude: $(75 / 100) \times 70 + 30 = 52.5 + 30 = 82.5$. The result is rounded to 83.
- Calculate Mock Verbal Score (VA+WK): Verbal Raw $20+22=42$. Verbal Score: $(42 / 50) \times 70 + 30 = 58.8 + 30 = 88.8$. Rounded to 89.
- Calculate Mock Quantitative Score (AR+MK): Quantitative Raw $18+15=33$. Quantitative Score: $(33 / 50) \times 70 + 30 = 46.2 + 30 = 76.2$. Rounded to 76.
- Final Result: The candidate’s estimated scores are Academic Aptitude 83, Verbal 89, and Quantitative 76.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find quick answers to common questions about the AFOQT.
- Is this calculator’s score official? No. This is a mock score calculator using a simplified, estimated model for demonstration and academic planning purposes. Official AFOQT scores are calculated by the Air Force using proprietary norming tables.
- What is a ‘passing’ AFOQT score? Minimum scores are typically a 15 on the Verbal composite and a 10 on the Quantitative composite. However, selection is highly competitive, and competitive scores for boards usually exceed the minimums significantly (often in the 50s-70s range or higher).
- What do the AFOQT composite scores mean? The scores are percentiles (0-99). A score of 75 means you performed better than 75% of the reference group used for standardization.
- How many times can I take the AFOQT? Candidates are generally limited to two attempts. The second attempt must be authorized, and there is usually a waiting period of 180 days.
