I took the test 44 years ago PFC Private RallyPoint Member , they may have tweaked it a little since then, but it wasn't that hard then, you just need to study and concentrate.

88M AIT, like most entry level AIT's, is designed for everyone to pass. You should have no problem passing

PFC Private RallyPoint Member You will have mainly challenges during your lifetime. Prepare for the test as you would for previous tests by studying. Good luck.

I reclassed into 88M, so my experience was different, but I would say, generally speaking, the two best things you can do about this or anything really is this:
Don't build up the challenge in your mind into a mountain you can't climb.
&
Prepare for that climb anyway.

I Reclassed Into 88M ,From Being Helicopter Aircrew, And The Largest Vehicle I Had Ever Driven Was A Pickup , Study and Study Some-more, If You Are Having Problems Backing and Docking,Tell Your Instructors! They Want You To Pass The Course and Will Be Glad To Give You Extra Instruction After Regular Class Hours.
Show Them You Want To Put In The Extra Time To Pass.
Every Instructor, I Have Known Was Happy To Give Extra Help.
After All That Is The Number One Job of An NCO, To Make Their Troops Better Soldiers

It’s super easy I got a 96 on it and I’m not the smartest, if it’s still open book I would practice trying to figure which sections have what in it to find the answer efficiently.

Being an 88m is not difficult at all, always ask questions to things you don’t understand.

I feel the hardest part of 88M is the alley docking, but you do everything so many times you'll get it all down by the end. As far as the book test, just study like you do any other test, your civilian license test, for example, you'll be fine.

Don’t worry about that AIT at all. They won’t let you fail.
