AFPSAT (AFP Service Aptitude Test) is the unified written test used to screen applicants for the Armed Forces of the Philippines — enlisted personnel and officer candidates of the Philippine Army, Navy and Air Force.
How it's scheduled: there's no single national exam date. You register online, then the testing office of the service you're applying to gives you a slot.
What's tested: the AFP doesn't publish the subtests, item count or passing score. Each major service sets its own cut-off.
What it means for you:
- It's one step in a longer screening process that also includes medical, physical and background checks
- PMA cadets take a separate exam, the PMA Entrance Examination (PMAEE)
- A Private earns ₱31,151/month in base pay in 2026 — see the AFP salary guide
