Future military occupational success is measured for all recruits when they take the required Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. This test measures developed (i.e. learned) abilities. You often hear a military recruit mention, `I got a 68 on the ASVAB.` What they are actually talking about is their ASVAB “AFQT score”, or Armed Forces Qualification Test score. The AFQT score based on only four out of the nine ASVAB subtests: Word Knowledge (WK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), and Arithmetic Reasoning (AR). If someone is serious about joining the military, then it`s important to be serious about studying for the ASVAB. Practice tests will give a person an idea of how he/she will score, and helps identify areas that need improvement. Then ASVAB online courses provide in-depth tutorials for subtests that a person needs to improve upon the most. Typically, the best deal is a complete ASVAB study package that includes both practice tests and online courses because it`s important to go through a tutorial and then practice. This process is a proven study method to get the highest score possible and qualify for very desirable job positions in the military.
