About Us
Armed forces of the Philippines Service Aptitude Test (AFPSAT)
The Armed Forces of the Philippines Aptitude Test Battery (AFPATB) is the unified written entrance examination which is one of the requirements for entry into the major services ‐ Army, Air Force and Navy. Selection of men and women in the Armed Forces of the Philippines using psychological testing has long been used and remains an indispensable part of the Neuro-Psychiatric Screening. One of the qualifications being sought is aptitude towards pre-entry training and subsequent service in the military. Starting with the AFP General Classification Test (AFPGCT) which had its origins in the United States, the AFP developed its own in 1991. Completed in 1994, the AFPATB was used in May that year. Based on policy, the AFPATB should have been revised once every two years since 1996.
Thus, the review and redevelopment of the AFPATB has long been overdue. This project aims to customize the AFPATB to the particular needs of the Major Services and transform aptitude testing in the AFP into an effective, reliable and sustainable screening tool.
In recent years, several cases of violations have been reported by the Office of the Surgeon General, to wit:
• Rampant proliferation of leakages of answers, to include leakage found in the left palm, on paper, carved in the pencils, on handkerchief.
• Booklets were photocopied by some examinees.
• Some examinees who failed to pass the AFPATB were allowed to retake the exam without observing the six (6) months probation period.
• Submission of fake and forged results of AFPATB by some examinees. Use of proxy examinees which is fraudulent and deceitful in nature.
• Some examiners and proctors were not trained in administering and scoring AFPATB. (AFPATB teams organized by the Major Services should have been trained initially by the OTSG. Each team should have at least one (1) trained Psychologist as member.)
