I was well prepared and passed the test…
I was well prepared and passed the test thanks to this test prep. It was accurate and really helped with the 2D to 3D shapes. There’s a variety of quizzes to practice with and videos that visually show you how the puzzles are folded. I highly recommend, only took me a week to study and the real exam takes about 20-30 minutes.
I passed the TSA test 5 stars

The TSA CBT is very easy to understand…
The TSA CBT is very easy to understand and simple user interface. 2D 3D images are useful for the test. I have short time to prepare but I pass.
The test may last only 45 minutes
The test may last only 45 minutes, so it is about practicing speed. This test prepares you very well. I especially liked the 2D-3D shapes with the animation; it helped me to understand how they folded.
Helpful and Fun
I paid for this course in hopes that it would prepare me for the TSA/TAB Test. The 2D-3D imaging portion of the TAB test is very difficult for most people who have talked about their experiences with this particular test. This instructional course really helped me to get a better grasp of the concepts and I was able to pass the exam. I worked on the example questions a little bit each day and I found myself enjoying the challenges!

TSA CBT Test Formats
Historically, the TSA selection process has focused mainly on evaluating X-Ray (ORT) skills and English proficiency. Yet, the introduction of the TSA CBT 2025 marks a change, as several airports have incorporated a new segment into the evaluation procedure. This updated test is not only shorter but also features sections that differ from those in the traditional format.
TSA CBT - New Format 2025
The TSA CBT has implemented a new format designed to thoroughly evaluate candidates’ skills and abilities quickly. In contrast to the lengthy two-hour duration of the legacy test, the new exam format has been condensed to a shorter duration, completed within 25 minutes. It’s important to note that the new test format is currently being implemented at only 5% of airports. Therefore, depending on the specific airport where you are applying, the test format may vary.
The type of questions you can expect in the new format of the TSA CBT:
In this segment, candidates will encounter complex patterns or sequences of dots. Their challenge is to correctly connect these dots, showcasing their skills in identifying patterns and logical order.
Example
*Note – This section is custom-designed in PrepTerminal’s practice quiz, allowing you to click and connect the dots.
This segment evaluates candidates’ capacity to swiftly identify and classify objects within images. Test-takers will be presented with a variety of images, ranging from everyday objects to potential threats.
Example
This component evaluates the candidates’ aptitude for mentally transforming two-dimensional paper into three-dimensional representations. They must be able to interpret the dimensions and spatial relationships of objects presented in two-dimensional images.

TSA CBT - Legacy Format
Taking on the TSA Computer-Based Test (CBT) Legacy Format is a comprehensive evaluation of the essential skills needed for a Transportation Security Officer (TSO). Lasting two hours, it tests candidates on a broad range of abilities, from X-ray image analysis to English proficiency, challenging both your technical know-how and your ability to stay focused over time. As the main form of assessment at most airports, it’s a key step in proving your readiness for the vital TSO role.
Here’s what will see on the test:
The X-ray object recognition test considered a highly challenging component of the TSA assessment, centers around evaluating the aptitude to interpret and recognize X-ray scans.

Types of questions you can expect in the X-ray test:
Example
