Army Personnel Testing (APT)
***All APT tests require a signed 4187 and copy of ERB/ORB in order to schedule. Examples can be picked up in the Testing Office or are available on our website through GoArmyEd.
Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT)
There is no limit to the number of times that the AFCT can be administered during a Soldier’s career; however, it will not be administered no earlier than 6 months between each retest.
Soldiers are allowed to take the AFCT while in service to try to improve their GT or ST score. Proper time should be taken to self-study to ensure the probability of a successful retest or the Soldier should attend the Functional Academic Skills Training (FAST) class. A Solider may retest after the six month wait period.
Functional Academic Skills Training (FAST) classes are held before each AFCT test. Soldiers wanting to take the AFCT test are highly encouraged to take the class.
Functional Academic Skills Training
(FAST) Class
Functional Academic Skills Training (FAST) is the commander’s on-duty training program for soldiers who need to improve their academic skills. The FAST class helps to develop job related math and reading skills.
Classes are four hours a day for a period of three weeks. Upon completion of class, the soldier’s progress is assessed. The AFCT exam is then administered for those who feel ready for the test.
Enrollment: 1. Call 850-882-4608/4649 or stop by the Education Center to see the counselor.
Counselor gives Soldier the enrollment form to take to Commander for signature. Soldier is
officially enrolled in the class when the form is returned to the Education Center with the
Commander’s signature.
Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB)
This is a test used to evaluate the aptitude of Soldiers for training to learn a foreign language in one of four levels of difficulty categories. Soldiers who pass the test the first time may not retest. Those who do not pass the first time may retest after the six month wait period. First and second retests may be given with commander’s approval. Minimum passing score: 95
Category I – 95 (French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish)
Category II- 100 (German)
Category III-105 (Greek, Hebrew, Moro, Persian-Farsi, Persian-Afghan, Pushtu-
Afghan, Russian, Serbian/Croatian, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish,
Uzbek, and Vietnamese)
Category IV- 110 (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean)
If you pass the DLAB, you may learn a
foreign language at the Defense Language
Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC).
Studying for the DLAB: There are no commercial study guides available for the DLAB. You cannot study for the DLAB in the traditional way, as the DLAB is designed to measure language-learning potential, not current knowledge.
Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT)
Testing is given to soldiers who have received foreign language training at DLI, have knowledge of a foreign language as a result of civilian education, residence in a foreign country, home environment, or whose records indicate previous language study.
***Depending on the Language tested on and the score achieved (must be a 2, 2+, or 3), soldiers may receive Foreign Language Proficiency Pay (FLPB) added to their pay check each month. Soldiers receiving FLPB pay must retest yearly in order to continue to receive the extra pay.
There are currently DLPT’s available in the following languages:
Albanian, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bulgarian, Burmese, Cambodian, Cebuano (Listening Only), Chavacano (Listening Only), Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Haitian-Creole, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Lao, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Pashto, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian-Croatian, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tausug (Listening Only), Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Vietnamese, and Yiddish .
