I had a 98 and the guy giving the test made me take it again in front of him to make sure I didn't cheat. (different test too, in case I'd memorized the answers) Then the recruiter started talking about security clearances and all the opportunities I could have, then tried to talk me out of the one I picked and wanted to aim me towards some nuclear shit as well. He seemed pissed off when I chose airborne artillery. I was young and joining up to get away from a relationship going in the shitter, and I made my choice like this "What do you have leaving the soonest? That's what I want."
Ironically, the woman I was getting away from joined the Army and went into something in intelligence so secure that she said she really would have to kill me if she told me what it was. When I laughed she told me that those were part of her orders. She couldn't discuss her job with anyone other than to say she sat at a desk and used a computer. We kept in touch for a long time, even talked about getting married at one point, but she couldn't stay faithful. The last time I talked to her she was on husband number 3 or 4. She stayed in touch with my mom for even longer, but nobody's heard from her in years. I hope she's doing good.

Maybe she told somebody what she does?

3 times...High School (for kicks, got a 90smthing), before I joined 2yrs later, and earlier this year to improve my score to retrain into another AFSC.

Just go to your local library, and grab an ASVAB study guide, and take the practice tests a few times. Its no big deal.

Took the ASVAB about 6 years ago. Now in the military, but do go to the library and get the study guide to refresh your memory.

The wifey scored a 111 on hers.

The wifey scored a 111 on hers.

Extra credit? It only scores up to 99. Your score is a percentile based on a compilation of several sections and decides not only your intelligence and problem solving abilities, but also where you'd be best suited within the military.

'

Traditional tests scores are reported as a percentile which is the number of right answers divided by the total number of questions times 100. The ASVAB calculates it differently. The ASVAB percentile score is a comparison of your score in relation to everyone else score. The highest ASVAB score in terms of percentile is 99. This means you did better than 99% of the other people who took the test.

What most people refer to as their ASVAB Test Scores is actually the ASVAB AFQT score which is typically represented in percentile form with the following minimum requirements for enlistment. Based on your score, you are put in a category. The military limits the number of people they take from the lower categories based on their enlistment needs.

Category I 93-100% Outstanding

Category II 65-92% Excellent

Category IIIA 50-64% Above Average

Category IIIB 31-49% Average

Category IVA 21-30% Below Average

Category IVB 16-20% Markedly Below Average

Category IVC 10-15% Poor

Category V 0-9% Not Trainable

Raw scores are the number of points you get on each subtest. Each question is worth a different number of points based on its difficulty level. Hard questions are worth more points than easy questions. The standard score is actually a conversion of the raw score based on standard distribution of scores with a mean of 50.

Line scores determine which military jobs you qualify for. Various combinations of all nine subtests are considered in the Line Score requirements for each job assignment. Every branch of the military looks at line scores a little bit differently.

For example, the ASVAG GT or General Technical is an Army line score which is calculated as the Verbal Expression (VE) score plus the Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) score. The VE is calculated from the Word Knowledge (WK) and Paragraph Comprehension (PC) score.

Well, she scored off the charts. Thats how she got the position she's in now; there were only a handful fo open spots and her score got her in.

typically 31-62 is average. over 62-92 is good, over 92 is really good.

mikey thats probably one of her line scores not her asvab/afqt. asvab/afqt only goes to 99. i got like a 90 but my line scores were:
cl: 123
co: 113
el: 115
fa: 114
gm:112
gt: 118
mm: 106
of: 111
sc: 118
st: 115

all over 100 but thats not my asvab/afqt score, those are just how well you did in individual categories. here is the break down of the sub categories. this is what ultimately decides if you will get to do the job you want.

cl-clerical (verbal expression [ve], arimethtic reasoning [ar], mathematical knowledge [mk]) my best lol

co-combat score (ar, coding speed [cs], auto & shop Information [as] and mechanical comprehension [mc])

el- electronics score (general science, ar, mk, and electronic Information [ei])

fa-field artillery (ar, mk, cs, mc)

gm-general maintenance (gs, as, mk, ei)

gt-general technical (ve, ar)

mm-mechanical maintenance (numerical operations [no], as, mc, ei)

of-operators and food (ve, no, as, mc)

sc-surveillance & communication (ve, ar, as, mc)

st-skilled technical (gs, ve, mk, mc)


hope that helps you understand a little bit better. most people think that if they get a good asvab/afqt score they can just pick any mos they want. however, if they suck miserably in the category pertaining to their mos they wont get it.

Don't do drugs.

I got every question on that bitch correct, got a perfect score. I had every recruiter at MEPS jocking me offering me nuclear navy or even the space program in the air force, but i was all messed up at that time in my life on meth, so I chose Army Infantry for the signing bonus ($15,000). Ended up regretting my decision, wanted to go home, so everytime they tried to tell me to do something, I just refused. Hit the drill Sargent in the face with a football, Eventually I got sent home on ELS....thank god, I would have been running next to a tank in Afghanistan, and thats not a good thing being 6'5".

I took it last week, and might I say, I did horrible.

I made a 46. I figured I would do okay, it didn't seem hard....but I had a rough week at school, last minute hw, tests before finals, and i guess all that got to me. smh.

I shall take it again in a month.

when i was in the army it seemed like every other person i talked to used to be on drugs. its like the national rehab program or something. hope the time you were in, it at least helped you clean up a little.

Don't sweat it, take it again when you aren't all stressed and i'm sure you'll do fine. The first time i took it i was in the marine recruiters office. He got me an orange juice and a muffin lol. He was really trying to get me to sign with him, and then after i scored a 98, he really started to push it. When i retook the test later though, i scored lower because i was trying to rush and was stressing.
