DLAB Tips

Jack · 04-17-2016, 03:03 PM

Thanks for all the advice! I appreciate it. Does anyone have a solid way to study the picture part? I've been having people read them to me for a new days and I've seen major improvement (although my mothers thick, Jewish, Long Island accent made it difficult), but the pictures still trip me up

They had some in the practice tests and tried to show the deductive reasoning. Try to desern differences and similaraties in both pictures and text. Apologies for mispellings. At the end of the day study practice and just get out there and do it. Hopefuly you will get your results back soon, i got mine within 20 min

So I just took the DLAB and I got an 85 so I failed and need to retake it. But, for those of you who DID purchase the book, heres some general info to update you:

(NOTE: There was no NDA or any other request for me not to share the information based on the test, so I'm sharing it unless asked otherwise. If anyone thinks this violates some sort of rule please let me know and I'll edit it)

The stressed syllables section is gone. Instead it goes straight into the sentence rules.

Likewise, the pictures with the little words under it are gone. Instead, theres that weird box test with the number five and a set of logic puzzles.

I've pretty much decided to join as a CTN but I did well on my ASVAB (92) so I figured I may as well take the DLAB as well to see if I qualify for CTI. My wife was a CTI for 8 years (Arabic/Farsi) and it served her well in the long run. I enjoy languages (english/german/italian) but love IT/computers so I'm torn between the two ratings but leaning towards CTN.

I told my recruiter I'm reading to sign for CTN on Monday but called him yesterday about the DLAB, he says I can still sign for CTN and cross over to CTI if I wish as its easier to do that since both are CT's. Not sure how true that is...
