The Aviation Standardized Test Battery, is the test used by the United States Navy and the Marine Corps to judge whether a person is worth the time and money to train as a pilot. The test measures several basic skills:

• mental and verbal aptitude similar to sections as found in the SAT
• Mechanical Comprehension, a person's ability to fix a problem or rationalize basic physics
• Spatial Apperception, a person's ability to observe changes in position or attitude of aircraft from a third-person view
• Aviation Nautical Information Test (ANT), which tests knowledge of aviation and nautical terminology as well as principles.

Other than the aviation nautical section, the test is mostly common sense. The ANT requires serious studying because it is not the sort of thing you can think through, and it's about one-quarter of the test. Everything else is relatively simple. If you play a lot of video games and were in scouts, you might know much on the Spatial Apperception and Mechanical Comprehension sections.
