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.

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.
Anthony Zotto, 16 Jan
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.
For the TSA X-ray exam, you will be presented with a set of simulated X-ray images depicting baggage or objects. Your task is to thoroughly examine these images and accurately identify any potentially suspicious or prohibited items, such as firearms, explosives, knives, or other hazardous objects.
Types of questions you can expect in the X-ray test:
Example
The English & Math test takes communication as the base challenge when it comes to being a TSO, the job requires excellence in communication as major part of your job is to communicate to the passengers or your colleagues. Here is what you can expect on this section:
