As a result, the military does not put out a study guide. Your ability to retain information you would have learned between sixth and tenth grade is being tested and study of additional content is not necessary. However, familiarizing yourself with the test and brushing up on your skills with a bit of review can help you refresh your memory of these topics and help you feel confident about the test—and getting the score you want.
As with any test, how well you do depends in large part upon how well you prepare. To study effectively for the ASVAB , you really need to begin studying at least two months before you plan to take the test, if not more! Probably the most important thing is to make a schedule and stick with it.
Some days, you will be a little tired, and you may not concentrate as hard as you should on other days, but if you are consistent, you will reap great rewards. When you first begin studying, you should make a list of the areas you are good at and those on which you could use improvement.
This will help you figure out what you're good and not so good at. For example, you might make a table like this:. Focus on the four essential sections, those critical to the AFQT score, first. From the example above, it seems that your verbal abilities are at least OK: you gave yourself a four on the word knowledge section and a three on paragraph comprehension. The ASVAB may take up to three hours to complete, depending on whether the pencil and paper or the computer version of the test is used.
A good score on the AFQT goes a long way toward recruits getting the career choice they desire. First, take a practice test for each subject on the AFQT. A score of 80 percent or better is good; a 93 percent puts a recruit in the top level for recruitment. If recruits demonstrate weaknesses on the practice tests, they should use some of the free vocabulary, mathematics or reading comprehension websites to raise their scores.
The Coast Guard Training Site has a list of tutorials available. The mechanical comprehension, auto, shop and electronic information tests are different from the AFQT. They also increase test-takers' confidence and will help them feel more relaxed on test day.
Your recruiter is a vital asset in gaining entrance into the military. Recruiters work with applicants on a daily basis and help them prepare for the military, including ASVAB testing preparation. Recruiters have access to practice tests and materials that may help improve your score. Recruiters can help you deal with anxiety you may feel toward taking the test. By reducing stress, they are helping you gain a clearer head for studying.
