Answer Key

INTRODUCTION

This guide was designed to help those who are planning to take the Defense Language Aptitude Battery Test (DLAB). It was created in a way to help future test takers in comprehending the full implications of their scores, and prepare them for the exam. There is no test on earth that is comparable to the DLAB and, without this guide, you could be walking into a career killing trap.

Therefore, to help you get prepared for the DLAB test, we will approach the subject in four ways. First, we will begin by looking at what the DLAB is and how it will affect you as you move forward in your military career. Hopefully, this section will help to dispel many theories and rumors about the exam and, instead, give you concrete data to base your decisions on.

Second, we will conduct a basic review of English grammar. The DLAB uses a fake language as a conduit in which to test your critical thinking skills and your ability to quickly apply grammar rules. However, without a core understanding of grammar terminology and how it plays a vital role in a language’s construct, you will have a hard time passing the DLAB.

Third, we will break apart each section of the exam, and explain its structure and purpose. This section will include the EXACT grammar rules you will find on the DLAB exam, detailed descriptions of the section’s layout and even example questions to help test your level of understanding.

Now that you have a basic understanding of the test layout, the next section will give you proven tips and secrets to help you get through the questions and manage your time. Most people don’t realize that you are timed and probably won’t have certain resources like paper or the ability to take notes. Therefore, it is important to use certain tips to ensure your test taking process runs smoothly and you achieve the highest score possible.

Finally, once all aspects of the material have been covered, there will be a fully comprehensive DLAB Practice Exam to help you test your ability. This is very close to the real thing and should not be taken lightly. Furthermore, the answer key has detailed explanations about each question and why a specific answer was correct. This not only serves as means to gage your current level, but also as a way to gain experience.

The DLAB test is like nothing you have ever seen. However, with this manual, you should have no problem. We feel that the approach presented in this manual will not only help you to pass the DLAB but also improve your overall score.
