Edit: Maybe I wasn't accurate enough with my question before. I have already taken the ASVAB test. These are scores I received on it. I want to know what the best job the military could offer me is and if it would even be worth enlisting for it.

Answer 1

Even with all your individual skill score aside, an AFQT of 93 is very, very good. The single score other than the AFQT that matters most is your GT score; it helps a lot for promotions, as well as being selected for special schools and programs later on once you're in. I had an AFQT score of 99 and I basically had my pick of the litter; I chose station-of-choice first, then the job I wanted based on what was available for that station and what sounded interesting to me at the time. Frankly, once your AFQT is anything higher than 70 or 75, you're gold. In that sense a 93 is just as good as a 99--most folks you meet in the military won't have scored anywhere near that high. Use that score to your advantage and bargain to get the job you want and the station you want, and any bonuses they can give you based on the job/station. From personal experience, I would highly recommend picking a job that gives you useful training and will translate to a valuable profession in the civilian world when you eventually get out of the military. Having some foresight for 5, 10, 20 years down the road will pay huge dividends.

Answer 2

You are what the Recruiters refer to as a Category 1 applicant. Your ASVAB is used exclusively for job classification and has nothing to do with ultimate duty location. Some specialized fields will require additional testing, for instance in the Navy, the Nuclear Power Plant operators or the Linguists in the intelligence field just to name a couple.

With these line scores and AFQT, you should qualify for just about any job they have. This is assuming that you don't have a criminal record or medical condition that would disqualify you. Do yourself a favor and research the different Navy Rates, Army MOSs, Marine MOSs and Airforce AFSCs and see which you are more interested in and then stick to your guns on what you want. Realize that the classifier that you talk to at the Military Entrance Processing Station is going to try to fill jobs based on the Needs of the Service, so decide before you talk with him and let him know that is what it'll take to get you into a uniform.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 3

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!

Answer 5

it would be IMPOSSIBLE to give you an accurate answer:

heres why, there is no way, no way that these are actual ASVAB line scores.

im thinking that you got these from military.com or some other such source. the only way to know for sure is for you to go and take the ASVAB!

however, if you can score a 93 AFQT score on the ASVAB you will be qualified for most anything the ARMY has to offer you.

Answer 6

There is no way those are real scores. With your individual scores the way they are, your AFQT could not have been 93. I suggest actually taking the ASVAB and talk with you recruiter so you could actually figure out what jobs you are qualified for.

Answer 7

You have a high enough score to get whatever job it is that you want. Look into the MOS (military occupational specialties) and choose one that intrests you. And it depends what you consider worth wile. I joined because I wanted to be proud of what I do. Some people join for the money, or others for the college money. Whatever makes you happy.

Answer 8

the best job is one you will be HAPPY doing for the next 4-6 years.

with a 93, you could pretty much write your own ticket, assuming you also qualify medically, morally and whatnot( no colorblindness or anything that would deny you a Clearance, for instance).

Answer 9

49 is not perfect but I guess it's ok for construction. Check your line scores to determine if you qualify for any construction job. II am confident you qualify for them, since their line scores aren't to high! Good luck!

Answer 10

you would be qualified for any job based on your test score but other issues, such as past legal problems could preclude you from jobs requiring clearances.
Do whatever job makes you happy.
