There is no overall "ASVAB Score." When you hear someone saying "I got an 80 on my ASVAB," they are talking about their AFQT (Armed Forces Qualifying Test) score, not an "overall" ASVAB Score. The AFQT is important. It determines whether or not you can join the military. The AFQT score is not derived from all portions of the ASVAB. Indeed, the AFQT score is determined from only four areas of the ASVAB: Word Knowledge (WK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), and Mathematics Knowledge (MK).. The score is computed as follows: The first step is to determine your Verbal Expression (VE) Score. This is done by adding the value of your ASVAB Word Knowledge (WK) Score to the values of your Paragraph Comprehension (PC) Score. This result is then compared to a chart which gives you your scaled VE Score. The formula to derive the AFQT "raw Score" is 2VE + AR (Arithmetic Reasoning) + MK (Mathematics Knowledge). It's important to understand here that the AFQT score is not computed with the AR "Line Score" and the MK "Line Score" that you see on your ASVAB scores sheet. The AR and MK scores shown on the score sheet is "number correct." However, the score used to compute AFQT score is the "weighted score," which takes into consideration the difficulty level of the question. This formula results in the AFQT "raw score," which is then converted into a percentile score. In 1980, a study, known as the "Profile of American Youth," was conducted by the Department of Defense in cooperation with the Department of Labor. DOD administered the ASVAB to a total of 11,914 individuals, ranging in age from 16 to 23, from July to October 1980. The purpose of the Profile of American Youth was to obtain data on the vocational aptitudes of current youth and to establish current national norms for the ASVAB. The person's AFQT score is a percentile score, based on the population of test-takers in the above study. The percentiles are based upon a 99 point scale with 99 being the highest.

You can get into the navy and be a seamen

25 I believe.

You could go to the nearest military recruiting station and ask one of the recruiters to take the asvab test.

Yes, it is considered to be in the top percentile, and should let you get just about any job you want. I would talk to your recruiter aswell he could explain it better

Your ASVAB score (actually your AFQT score) is made up of your scores on four of the ASVAB's subtests then ranked among all the other applicants who have taken the test. This makes it almost impossible to determine how many right answers are necessary on each subtest for a specific score.

Also, you don't pass or fail the ASVAB you only achieve a certain score. That score is then used to determine if you qualify for enlistment. The minimum score necessary for enlistment is a 31 for the Army so I guess below that could be considered a failing score through...

You have get an 85 or more my recruiter told me. Also Depends on what you want to do in the medical field. I'm wanting to be a combat medic but that's like In the 100's. Goodluck.

The ASVAB tests your aptitude in certain areas that helps placing you in your maximum position in the military. Not like if you will ever make Gunnery sergeant, but instead, are you going to be a communications technician, or are you destined to be a grunt for life.

The only thing you can have with you during the asvab is a pencil and 2 pieces of paper.

They have actually set the bar a little bit higher to a 50, which in all actuality a percentile. Most people score within the 50-65 range and rarely score higher than 80.

36

That's not a very good score, actually. The lowest score you can get is a 32. The highest is a 99.

A pencil and paper.

That score means you scored higher than 58% of all applicants who took the test which isn't bad. It's enough to qualify you for enlistment in all service branches and also to qualify you for enlistment bonuses and other enlistment incentives.

Whether ASVAB is hard or not is subjective. However, if you have an overall satisfactory high school record then possibly you have a great chance of doing well on the ASVAB. Of course the key is to prepare yourself for the test over an extended period of time.

you need to score 31(AFQT) on your asvab test.

stop using dude speak, its the internet, not a mil base

High school students can take the student ASVAB at their schools. The score is not used by the military. The ASVAB for enlistment is given at the MEPS, or you can arrange a CAT ASVAB through a recruiter.

It is a good score. But alot of factors can make it more or less dramatic. The ASVAB test scores the test differently if you are a female or male. With an 82, you make it to the II category. Almost I but not quite! ;) I made an 82 also and im a girl in high school 11th grade so compare it to me and see how you think you did! But it is still a good score reguardless! Goodluck!

I found this website that should help tremendously with ASVAB prep: http://www.testprepreview.com/asvab_practice.htm. They have broken down the test into several different categories to help you study so the more you practice the more likely that you will suceed.

31 is the minimum for the General Technical (GT) score, out of a possible 130.

What do you have to score to join the national gaurds

ASVAB scores apply the same to all of the different branches. No conversions are required. However from talking to recruiters from all 5 branches, I can say that each branch will look at your score a little differently when it comes to what you will or will not qualify for. I have worked with recruiters from every branch and seen this take place. The AS in ASVAB stands for Armed Services, so your AFQT ( overall score - Armed Forces Qualifying Test I believe), applies to every branch

not sure but since Mensa says 136 puts you in top 2% it would probably be roughly 136/98=139 so there is that. Someone scoring over 139 would imply unusually high score. I was in the army records division and as I recall there was a guy in our division who scored a 151. Real nice guy. I was second to him but way down as mine was 136
