Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Defense Language Aptitude Battery Test is a standardized test that was developed to measure the applicant's aptitude for language studies. The military takes the scores very seriously and believes that it is a good indicator of the applicant's chances of surviving a tough language school like DLI. #2 The DLAB test determines which category of languages you can be assigned to. The categories are based on lettering systems, grammatical structures, intonations, and overall difference from English. The scores required for each category are as follows: Category I: Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish; Category II: German; Category III: Hebrew, Russian, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese; and Category IV: Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. #3 The Defense Language Aptitude Battery test can only be taken once every six months, so failing to get the required score would mean that the applicant would have to wait a full six months to retake the test, making proper preparation even more important. #4 The DLAB is graded on a logarithmic scale with scores ranging from 0 to 164. The tests are graded on a computer and, once you have completed the test, most facilities will release the scores to you immediately. However, in some cases the scores are sent to your command and will take much longer.
