Has anyone taken the DLAB? (Defense Language Aptitude Battery)

[DainBramaged]

I just took it today. I needed a score of 100 to qualify for my MOS in the Marines and I squeaked by with a 103.

It was fscking insane. I have never taken a test like this and will be quite fine if I never have to again.

Anyone else have experiences with it?

grammar knowledge of the english language? i'd wtf-pwn that (my mom was a grammar teacher for like.. 25+yrs total)

oddly enough, what i think helped me the most was taking a foreign language because when you learn it in school, you learn the grammar of the language, in addition to the words and their meanings.

I'd taken quite a bit of other languages. That link in my thread makes it sound easy. Regardless, I passed so that's all the counts.

My best friend took it. I could PM you her email address if you want me to.

Yeah, I took the DLAB last week. You can have my e-mail address if you want it.

Lol, I actually thought the test was kind of fun... the two guys that took it with me didn't. But they both scored higher than I did.
