SIFT Study Guide: Test Prep and Practice Test Questions for the Army SIFT Exam Description
****IMPORTANT NOTICE**** If you purchased a copy of this book on 2/9/2014 or prior, you may have a copy with incorrect information. This is specifically in the math section where there are no explanations for the answers. If you have this book, please contact the PUBLISHER (Accepted, Inc.) at support@acceptedinc.com to request corrected information which will be sent immediately as PDF. Do not contact Amazon as they cannot help with this issue. If you would like a new book, we can accommodate those requests as well. Thank you, and we apologize for the inconvenience. While the initial book did have some egregious issues, we have ensured they were corrected and the book is truly a high-quality study product. Whether you are just looking for more information or are ready to start seriously preparing for the exam, this is your book. As the ONLY study guide specifically made for just the SIFT exam and not a conglomerate of generalized test information for other branches (Air Force & Naval Forces), you get the test prep and practice you need and nothing else. Why buy a book where 1/3 of the pages do not even pertain to what is on the SIFT? Designed by a team of aviation and educational experts, this study guide covers all the sections of the exam, including test tips to quickly increase scores, and practice test questions like you will find on the actual exam. All SIFT exam sections covered: - Simple Drawings - Hidden Figures - Army Aviation Information - Spatial Apperception - Reading Comprehension - Math Skills - Mechanical Comprehension Since you are only allowed to take the SIFT twice ever, you must be as prepared as possible. You might already be familiar with the content of the exam, but when every second counts and a single point could make the difference, you cannot afford to risk it. You will spend less time studying and your effort will be more effective with the end result of a passing SIFT score.

First of all, I got a 76 on the test and studied for about 2 months straight because things kept delaying my test date, but since you can only take this test once (unless you fail), it might be a good idea to study that much too. I used this study guide along with the flight aptitude tests for dummies book, and they both helped me so I'll compare this one to that book a little. With both books, the simple drawings and hidden figures parts were pretty close to what the sections were like on the test, and the more practice on hidden figures the better. Both books were not very helpful with the aviation information portion, because there's so much information that a study guide can't hold it all, so I suggest reading the FAA helicopter flying handbook as well as FM 3-04.203 (fundamentals of flight) to prepare for that part, however a lot of the questions that I knew were because I already have an aviation MOS, not because I studied those publications. They were both the same when it came to spatial apperception as well, but this book's reading comprehension questions were much closer to the actual SIFT questions than the "for dummies" book was, so definitely study that portion because they're very different. When it comes to math however, the "for dummies" book was closer to what the actual test was like, but both books were pretty close with the mechanical comprehension part. Overall, I think this book is definitely worth it to help you study for the test.

Great resource and the only book that is really up to date. I did find a few minor typos/errors (some I'm not 100% sure) but nothing I haven't seen before in any other study guide or text book. In other words, there's nothing that will detract from the usability and quality of study you'll get. Overall, I was really pleased with the quality of the review and practice questions in this book and feel that the information I saw matched up well with the actual exam. The aviation section was especially good and covered a lot of information quickly and concisely.
On a side note, I did get the book with the issues that was printed before 2/9/2014, but contacted the customer service of the publisher and got GREAT customer service. I was honestly surprised at how fast and decisive they were with their response to fix the problem for me. For that alone they deserve 5 stars.
