Dont listen to what they said about the "ASVAB is a common sense test". The real ASVAB test is lot harder, so i suggest that you talk to your recruiter and get a copy of study guide.. Also, brush up your MATH and READING skill, that will help a lot.
Dont focus on other subtest (Auto shop, Mechanical, Electrical, and Assembling) but do your best as you can! I hope this would help

Yes, the ASVAB is timed and you can't use a calculator. The test isn't too bad but that depends on your test taking skills and general knowledge of various subjects. I recommend getting one of these prep books
It can make a big difference in how well you do since you'll know exactly what to expect on the test. The higher your score, the more opportunities you'll have and the better jobs you can qualify for so don't take the test lightly just because some people say it's easy. There's a big difference between doing okay and doing extremely well.
The prep/study book will get you used to the timing of the test so you know how long to spend on each question and get used to the time pressure you'll be under. They give you everything you need to know to do well. Good luck!

i think of a teach is the wonderful wager for you there relatively are not that many formulation to memorize, it relatively is why having a teach clarify the thank you to income might make it easier to greater advantageous than i think of a college type will difficulty-loose arithmatic, (+, -, *, / ) algebra (locate x) be conscious issues (understand-how the thank you to place in writing out what the difficulty asks of you) quadratic equations (very minor, yet they do look on the ASVAB) there may be some difficulty-loose trigonometry in there too after that, you're large, I scored a ninety 5 (percentile, Im utilising to the USAF so they use percentiles relatively than composite scores) on each and every area of the ASVAB and that i'm 24, i've got not studied this math in over 9 years, so it is not an excuse

It isn't a pass/fail test, it is an indicator of the areas you are stronger/weaker in. This is then used to find a job that will be the most rewarding to you and the military doesn't waste time and money trying to get you pass a course you no ability at. If you scored good in mechanics, why would they want you cooking or working on electronics; and vice versa. The best thing to do is get with a recruiter or get a study guide from the library that will teach you how to take the test and maximize your score.

No one "passes" or "fails" the ASVAB. The ASVAB allows you to compare your scores to other students at your grade level. Your scores will not affect your school grades.
The ASVAB is actually a multi-aptitude test battery known as the Career Exploration Program. It is available at over 14,000 schools nationwide and is maintained by the Department of Defense. The ASVAB comprises ten individual tests: Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, Arithmetic Reasoning, General Science, Auto and Shop Information, Mechanical Comprehension, Electronics Information, Numerical Operations, and Coding Speed. Not only do you receive scores on each of these individual tests, you also receive composite scores. Composite scores combine individual tests to yield Verbal, Math, and Academic Ability scores. Each ASVAB test area is timed, and the whole test takes about three hours.
The ASVAB is the most widely used multiple aptitude test battery in the world. It was originally designed to predict future academic and occupational success in military occupations. Since its introduction in 1968, the ASVAB has been the subject of extensive research. Numerous validation studies indicate the ASVAB assesses academic ability and predicts success in a wide variety of military and civilian occupations.
Several composite scores are formed from different combinations of ASVAB test scores. Three composites, or Career Exploration Scores, are provided specifically to help students engage in the career exploration process. These scores help students to get a good sense of their verbal, math, and science and technical skills compared to other students in the same grade. ASVAB results are reported to students and counselors on the ASVAB Summary Results sheet. This report shows grade-specific standard scores and score bands for all eight tests and three Career Exploration Scores. It also provides students with percentile-based interpretations of those scores. The ASVAB Summary Results provides students with appropriate explanations of the scores, as well as suggestions for their use.

It's been over 20 years since i took it and can't remember off hand but i do know they have 4 categories of score classification, the lower your category the less MOS or job specialties you will be eligible for training for.

Given the problems we're having in recruitment and the President's surge ambition in Iraq, my guess is you will probably pass if you spelled your name right at the top of the form.

A LOT! There are soldiers that are as dumb as rocks. Study before you take the test, because according to how high you score, you will have more jobs open to you.
