For reference, I went to an IB (International Baccalaureate) school which is widely considered one of the hardest high school curriculums. I had a 3.98 unweighted and 4.3 weighted at the end of my junior year. I had also gotten a 1520 sat score with an 800 in math. I had a lot of...

The practices test are far more difficult. The small topics that the practice tests cover that you may or may not have learned will likely only have one or two questions on the real test. The real test is multiple choice for all three of them. Focus on the basics of pre-calc (algebra and trig)...

There is a saying once you wrestle everything else in life is easy.

Yeah man, after doing some of these practice tests for the placement exams I finally realized why we are given a formula booklet on our exam. For IB problems, It is more than just regurgitating formulas and plugging them in it is utilizing them and being creative. It was definitely a hard class...

For any cadets who took the math placement exams last year, what was most of the content in the math tests, what would be a good way to prepare? I am an IB student who took Higher Level Math analysis and approaches and also got 800 on sat math. I am hoping to score well enough to be placed into...

I am a high school appointee and have accepted my appointment but I don't see the Appointee kit.

I completed and was cleared by DoDMERB all the way back in August. This was when USAFA was #3 on my list which unfortunately for me I filled out their application last after USNA and USMA. I filled out and completed the USAFA application just a few days after DoDMERB went down in Mid-September I...

Yes, they sent me a new letter. The initial letter I got in mid-November had the conditional appointment clause in it, but after getting the medical completed (around the beginning of December I think), I received a new letter on December 17th without any conditional appointment clause.

No, my appointment is not conditional on the medical. That was completed.

I received an LOA from USAFA in mid-November, and then in the following month on December 19th, I received the formal letter of appointment. Both of these were received on my portal, with no hard copy mailings from USAFA as of today. After lots of cross-country trips and navigating these forums...

This is going to be another thing to consider when I make my decision, thank you. Thank you guys for all your awesome responses.

I concur. My decision between the different academies is now coming down to what opportunities are available afterward. From what I understand USNA has a bit more defined route to going into SEALS after graduation than it seems USMA has for going into Rangers or Green Berets. I am trying to...

I 100 percent agree and thank you for the advice.

I recently received an LOA to USMA and I am now seriously considering it. However, I have been trying to research for the past few weeks the path I want to take after USMA. I want to be "kicking down doors" and leading a team and being by their side in action, not just planning a mission and...
