Sample OAR Test Practice Questions

Try these questions from our free OAR Test practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.

  1. An editorial states: 'Despite receiving the largest budget allocation in the department's history, test scores remained unchanged for the third consecutive year.' What is the author most likely implying?

    • A. The budget should be increased even further
    • B. Increased funding alone has not improved educational outcomes
    • C. Test scores are an unreliable measure of success
    • D. The department managed its budget efficiently

Answer: B. Increased funding alone has not improved educational outcomes

By juxtaposing record funding with stagnant results, the author implies that more money alone is not solving the problem.

  • An article explains that the Officer Aptitude Rating test measures verbal and quantitative reasoning because these skills predict success in officer training programs. What is the main idea?

    • A. The OAR is the most difficult military aptitude test
    • B. Verbal skills are more important than quantitative skills for officers
    • C. The OAR assesses reasoning abilities that correlate with officer training performance
    • D. All military branches require the OAR for commissioning
  • Answer: C. The OAR assesses reasoning abilities that correlate with officer training performance

    The article's central point is that the OAR tests reasoning skills because they are predictive of success in officer training.

  • Read the passage: 'Dr. Patel reviewed the test results twice before calling the patient. She then asked her colleague to look them over as well.' What does this suggest about the results?

    • A. The results were routine and required standard follow-up.
    • B. Dr. Patel was new to interpreting this type of test.
    • C. The results were concerning or unexpected.
    • D. Hospital policy required two doctors to review every test.
  • Answer: C. The results were concerning or unexpected.

    Reviewing results twice and seeking a colleague's opinion implies the findings were unusual or serious enough to warrant extra scrutiny.

  • A circuit contains a 12V battery and a 4-ohm resistor. What is the current flowing through the circuit?

    • A. 3 A
    • B. 4 A
    • C. 8 A
    • D. 48 A
  • Answer: A. 3 A

    Using Ohm's law (I = V/R), 12V divided by 4 ohms equals 3 amperes.
