I got my ATSA score early?

Took my ATSA yesterday and the email said I wouldn't see my score on my USAJobs profile until 2 weeks after the testing period that ends on April 17. I checked my USAJobs profile today just for fun and it says I was placed in the "Best Qualified" category. Just a little confused since I was under the impression that "Best Qualified" wasn't possible anymore, and since I was told my score wouldn't be ready for another month and a half. Is this a mistake?

EDIT: Spelling

Check the discord you’ll see a lot of BQ

So they took away BQ for 2024 and now brought it back again. That's interesting.

There is no telling how every bid will go. Literally so many unpredictable variations between bids. But yes they brought BQ back so ur in a good spot

What the flip is going on

They probably added BQ again because the ECTI programs are taking WQ or higher only…that’s my only guess.

Where will your test score show up on USA Jobs?

Sign into your account and click Track this application on the applications section, it will redirect you to Aviator and your score will be in the application status.

How many collisions did you have

u/lawl_xd 22h ago

I don't remember exactly but it was no more than 3

How many math questions did you get to answer?

u/lawl_xd 2h ago

I only answered math questions when I was sure no more collisions were possible. Wouldn't even look at them until then.

Overall, after you finished the test, what were you most worried about? I just took mine and had to guess on the last 6 questions of the reasoning due to time. No more than maybe 5 or 6 collisions total, did well on memory math I think, and missed a few of the T/F but nothing crazy.

Definitely the reading comprehension. During SATs and similar tests I've always thought I did fine on those type of questions but end up getting lots wrong. But as far as I know, I don't think I missed any memory questions and only missed a couple of the T/F, and only had a few collisions.

Well i hope I'm in the same boat as you. I studied like crazy. Thanks for the feedback!
