Hey SPC Kochhar. I recently took the Cyber Test, scored 70 (passing is 60) without any studying, and am now Enlisted as 17C, so I'm probably decently qualified to answer.
I encountered questions on:
Basic stuff (General hardware, stuff to do with programming)
Networking (Ports, OSI layers, perhaps some general network + level stuff)
Security (Types of man in the middle attacks, specifically.)
A lot I think I got wrong just because it's been so long since I used specific terms, and some of the questions were phrased in ways that could have multiple meanings.
I would focus on those three areas, being A+, Network+, and Security+ levels, in terms of studying. Studying for those three specific exams will likely help you improve your score.
Best of luck!

Hey SPC Kochhar, we have a couple of Cyber NCOs coming to give us a brief on prerequisites, "a day in the life" and other things. The brief isn't until next week I believe but I'll see what I can find for you if that's not too late.

WO1 Marcus Summerour, do you have a POC for this MOS (17C) concerning a young man that wants to go Active Duty (AD) Army and enlist for this MOS? He is aware of the basic requirements. Would be nice to talk to someone on AD that could give my son some insight into this MOS. Non prior service (NPS) with no law violations.

I don't know anything about reserves, unfortunately, so I can't verify. I would suggest knowing what's on the test regardless, considering rumor has the fail out rate of the AIT at 25%. Preparation is an advantage.
