The scores that come from that test will help the military determine what your strengths are. Once they have these scores you will be informed on how to look up online the jobs that you are qualified for. The ASVAB is required before you enter the military.

You have to take the ASVAB to get into the military. The higher your score, the more choice of jobs that will be presented to you. If you don't get a good score you might end up with virtually no choice. Once you are in the military you can take a similar test, actually it's the same but has a different name, to try to earn a higher score and you can "re-class" to a different job. Counter intelligence is a good field to get into, and they have a newer MOS (job) where you fly those radio-controlled spy planes. And right now they are heavily recruiting for those people who have to go in and try to deactivate a bomb, they are giving signing bonuses and you can get promoted pretty quickly if you end up with this job. Try to study, there are lots of good manuals out there. Especially brush up on your math and reading comprehension skills.

John is proper and fallacious. eighty one approach you probably did as well or higher than eighty one% of the populace used to norm the examination NOT MILITARY PERSONNEL. The final time it used to be normed used to be in 2007. They used 30,000 folks, elderly 14 - 30 from various backgrounds to norm the examination. This is the way in which they determine what a rating approach. It will get re-normed each and every five-7 years, The eighty one is the AFQT rating and truthfully approach little or no in MOS resolution. The character line rankings investigate what jobs are to be had to you.

Basically the test in High school is so the Military recruiters can come and bug you all day. If you join the military you have to take it. See what jobs there are in the military and see what points you need in the ASVAB to get them.

The ASVAP is a requirement of all enlisted personel. The better you score, the better your chances of getting the job you prefer. There is a minimum score to be accepted into each branch. Your local recruiter can give you more details.

everybody believes one job is 'better' than the other. but yes, a higher score will give you a far better chance at getting whatever job you want than a lower score would. if you get over 110 composite scores, you can literally do anything you want.

Absolutely it sure can. My score not only got me in the Air Force, but I was open for any job I chose. I went electronics. I also know a lot of people who couldn't even score high enough to get in the Air Force, you will find many of those in the Army. Sad, but true.
