I want to try out for special forces, so I finally raised my GT score to 119 after 2 months of studying, and now I hear that I have to take another test to qualify for special forces.

My LT and I both just took it a few minutes ago. He got a 91 and I got a 90. He didn’t study at all, and I bought a study guide a few weeks prior. After taking the test, I will say that there is really no way to study for it. Just know your basic language terms; nouns, adjectives , and processors.

The test was the most difficult test I’ve taken in the military for sure. Especially the last section with pictures...I was guessing at that point.

There are a few good books on Amazon to pick up to study up for the DLAB. When you know what language you are going to be assigned, I recommend Pimsleur through Audible. It's worth the money to study off duty or when on self PT...

You can't really prepare. It's all based on an artificial language. The only think you can do is avoid alcohol the night before, get a good night's sleep, and eat a solid breakfast.

Ive always heard that if you understand grammar then it will be easier for you... I do not and the test was a bit rough for me lol... it starting making more sense as the test went on but it took me a few mods in before then... scored a 93... not retarded but far from good... study English grammar and have a general understanding and a good memory.... good luck
