Is there something I can read or study before I take the test in order to achieve a high score?
I just got hired OTS for Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International. I finally get to move back to Kentucky, and i'm happy. So it is possible. But I don't know what the future can hold. When I did my interview the other week in Chicago, my interviewer did tell me that they were hiring less people this year, than the previous.

I wouldn't personally 'bank' on going through OTS though. It's a crap shoot at best. Since you just graduated from UofL, I was to say that you are probably mid-twenties. So I personally suggest what someone else did mention, biting the bullet and going the CTI route. Have a much better chance at that, than leaving it up to the OTS announcements. When/If they do come out with anymore.
