In my future I will be taking the SIFT, I’m having my study guide shipped to me from the US. My question is which part of the test was the most difficult? Which areas did you need to study more? Or study less?

Find a study guide that gives you practice tests. Based off those results it should tell you where you should focus your work. For me, it was hidden figures. Good luck!

I just got a SIFT practice book from the library. Some areas do need some studying but honestly it seems relatively easy. I will say if you focus some hours a day you should be good to take it in two weeks. For me I just need to refresh on math and mechanical comprehension. Good luck!!!

A study guide helped me prepare for what I was likely going to be dealing with and it was spot on for the most part. Hidden figures turned out to be harder than expected because of how ancient the computer and GUI was. Overall it wasn't much different from the ASVAB, just a few sections tailored towards Aviation. I studied math and mechanical comprehension the most because those are my weak spots, but overall casually studied for about a month or two prior and scored a 56.
