Heads up - talked to Manager @ OKC finally, I'm screwed for PUBNAT4. they're idiots and won't listen to what i'm saying but w/e.

but something she DID tell me is that HI and AK aps are going through at the same time as pubnat5 - which should be a couple of months from now.

That makes me angry. It's not just not considering your veteran status, it's actually making it work against you.

Part of me wants to encourage you to keep making noise about it until they finally get you put in with the rest of the PUBNAT4 group. But the other part worries about what could happen if you stepped on too many toes -- I'm sure your application could "accidentally" get misplaced, among other things.

So you think you'd foot the bill to head out to AK or HI to take the AT-SAT? Wonder if that would keep you in the PUBNAT4 announcement. Have you reviewed your other applications to make sure that they're done correctly? Still got a day or two left on PUBNAT6...
 
oooh you can bet your pale, pimpled keister i got my other applications right.

and yeah I'm going to fly up to AK. I have the GI bill coming in for school right now and I'm about to get a new job at the Veterans Service Center downtown so things'll be kosher come time to test.
 
For what it's worth, my buddy (who's not on any forums) applied to PUBNAT4 was also declined this time around. It kind of surprised me actually, but hes not going to give up.

I appreciate the empathy. I guess it's one of those things that you just have to keep truckin through to get.. my arrogant dad, despite how I may declare my hatred towards always said.. "if you want something bad enough it'll happen"... given those pearls of wisdom are a little short sighted I've learned that if you want something bad enough.. work your ass off for it.
 
This is my first post on this forum, I just want to say that the site has been very informative and has answered a lot of questions that I have. As a fellow PUBNAT4 applicant I just wanted to say I got my email from Robinson Aviation to schedule my test. I will be attending the Houston, TX test site. The dates are between the 15th and 18th of September. Unfortunately I have to wait until tomorrow to schedule as it is already 5pm and they are no longer taking calls.

Congrats :D
Know your dials, angles and the math, backwards and forwards. Rack-up points on these "easy" questions. I really believe that is what saved me.

It is good to know they are sending the emails out.

Hrmm..i havent gotten an email yet?

I was authorized to take the AT-SAT but havent gotten an E-mail response for the authorization, only through ASAP. Any ideas?
 
PUBNAT3 was a small group and our notification emails were spread out across a week or so; yours might be spread out over even more time.

It goes by test site and not by date you take it.

I took mine the last day of testing but was the second notified.

Just wait, you'll get the e-mails within a few days if you didn't get one yet. Definitely not something to worry about.

Good luck guys! :)
 
Hi everyone! I had a question regarding the AT-SAT date. I just found out this morning, believe it or not, after logging on to ASAP that I have been authorized to take the AT-SAT. This was posted on 8/26 it says, and that I'll be contacted in a few weeks to schedule the test. I have not been contacted yet, but my main question is did I wait to long to log into ASAP since i haven't heard anything back? It stated that I should be contacted within a few weeks and its only been 10 days so I'm not getting too concerned. It still has me wondering though. I tried calling the phone number they gave, but no representatives were available to answer questions.

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry just yet... people from your announcement are still getting emails to schedule the test.

and don't worry about the phone number either.. ask anyone who's had to call, you've basically gotta become a phone stalker to get through.. lol
 
Hahaha thanks guys'. After my last post, I called 3 other numbers. I even got a hold of one person but was transferred to a different department to answer the question but I got the message machine. The person that transferred me was incredibly nice though, so that was a plus.

I'll give it some more time, thanks!

The runaround begins....

I never took the ATSAT earlier this month when I was assigned it. I called Robinson Aviation during the scheduling period and notified them that I would be out of town, and also asked if I could take it elsewhere. There were no times or locations that would have worked and I was listed in the computer as Declined. So I never took it so I shouldn't have to wait a year.

Also, they just informed me that somehow my last name was spelt correctly and that an 's' had been added to the end. I don't know how that worked.

So I called the FAA a couple minutes ago and they said there's nothing they can do and to call Robinson Aviation. I called them, talked with a lovely woman who then referred me to Kenneth Mann, the head dude. I spoke with him for quite a while and he was able to look me up in the database from the last testing period when I declined, but of course was not able to add me to the next test list. So I'm supposed to talk to the FAA again. Trying to get through to them is like trying to find a Christmas tree salesman on Christmas morning. It's just impossible. Anywho, I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi, I was wondering if anything was corrected. I have a similar situation. I've been trying to get in touch with the FAA everyday, but no one ever picks up!
 
A quick note for those who said they were waiting on emails:

You may not get an email. Don't wait for one to schedule your test date. If you haven't caught on already, you'll soon realize that nobody seems to have the exact same experience with this process. Some people got AT-SAT emails, some didn't -- but the longer you wait to schedule your date, the less desirable of a slot you may have.

If you haven't already, make sure to check the threads on the AT-SAT here... lots of good advice that'll help a ton. Several are gathered together here, and I'm partial to my own study guide, which is here.

Congratulations. That's where I took mine. It's a little small, but only six people showed up (for 14 spots), so we were fine. You'll probably have the same proctors I had, since they were based with Robinson in Houston; they were helpful and were ready to answer any questions (well, questions they were allowed to answer, at least).

So what do you suggest? Who do you want us to call to schedule the test? I'm under the impression that no matter what, we have to wait for robinson to schedule our test. And it's site location dependent and nothing else.:confused::confused:
