Given the nature of the job that involves critical security checks, you should anticipate encountering highly challenging questions in this section of the TSA test. As a Transportation Security Officer (TSO), your role will involve identifying and flagging potential threats concealed within baggage, as individuals with malicious intent may go to great lengths to smuggle prohibited items. Your ability to utilize scanning tools effectively and exercise initiative in real-time threat detection will be crucial to perform your job successfully. Our course not only provides thorough test preparation but also fosters the development of crucial skills and insights required for the role.

Identifying the intended item can be challenging and requires consistent and accurate judgment, as baggage scans often contain deceptive elements or “red herrings.” Some items may not appear as they initially seem, making it difficult to determine their true nature.

Question: Can you tell if there is a weapon in this image within 6 seconds?

Ethan Montgomery

I used three different courses, and I took the test recently. These guys did an awesome job explaining the 2D to 3D folding section, which was really helpful. However, the feedback on wrong answers only appears after you complete all the practice quiz. Immediate feedback would make it much easier to understand and learn from mistakes on the spot. Overall, they've covered the toughest section in depth, which is impressive.

Ethan Montgomery

The x-ray section has way too many questions and feels really disorganized. It was overwhelming to get through. I took the test a few days ago and, while practicing was helpful, a better structure would have made the prep much easier to handle.

Olivia Harrison

I took the new TSA CBT recently, and this prep material was a lifesaver. It breaks down the the complex 2D -to 3D questions in a way that's easy to understand. I was much less anxious on test day thanks to this prep. If you're getting ready for the TSA CBT, I can't recommend this enough. It’s seriously a game-changer!

Emily Dawson

I felt well-prepared for the test and was happy with my results. One thing that would have made it easier to understand was if the animation videos were a bit slower. Sometimes they were a bit too fast for me to follow, but overall, I would still recommend this course to anyone looking to prepare for the TSA CBT 40 minutes test.

Jeff Huggett

The practice quizzes were really helpful, and I felt more prepared on test day. I was happy with my results and would recommend this course to anyone struggling with the 2D to 3D section

Shannon O'Donnell

It covers both the old and new formats of the test. If you're taking the new format, you can skip the connect the dots, match the images, and shapes folding shapes questions and focus on the rest of the material.

Mina Wagih

I was looking for a prep course that would help me improve my understanding of the folding shapes questions - everyone said they were too complex. This course is great. The 2D-to-3D section was particularly helpful, as it taught me how to approach complex shapes in a logical way. I felt more prepared on test day and was happy I bought this course.

Gary Wilkerson

The 2D-to-3D section was particularly helpful, as it broke down complex concepts into manageable chunks.

Mahmoud A.

This course is pretty solid, It’s definitely one of the best one out there. They cover everything in detail and explain things real clear. But man, if only they’d slow down a bit with those 2D to 3D folding shape videos , I’d be giving this a solid 5 stars. Anyway, got my exam coming up next week, so hoping for some good results!

Carlos R.

I took the test in late May and passed my CBT test. PrepTerminal’s prep course was a big help with the new test format. They have this cool "connect the dots" feature where you can actually practice by connecting dots, which was really useful. The "match the images" section wasn’t exactly like the actual exam since the exam had mostly stick figures, but that part was the easiest in the new TSO format, so it didn’t bother me much. Overall, great material!
