What is a ASVAB score?
it is called the afqt score and it tells you if you qualify to get into certain branches
What does a 97 afqt score qualify you for?
Pretty much anything, but again remember that the AFQT is just a composite score taken from 4 out of 9 subjects in the ASVAB. Generally your score might vary by no more than 10 points either way when taking the ASVAB compared to the AFQT.
You received an 81 on your general ASVAB score Could I be eligible for Officer Candidate School also I currently don't know my breakdown I just received my score today. Thanks Chris?
OCS does not go by the general AFQT score. They use the GT score. 81 is probably your AFQT score. You need a 110 on your GT score to be eligible for OCS. With an 81 AFQT score, you probably have a high enough GT score.
What does AFQT mean?
The AFQT which stands for the Armed Forces Qualification Test is a part of the ASVAB and is a nine part test. They combine the first 4 part test to determine your AFQT score
What score do you need to pass the ASVAB?
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.

The minimum passing AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score for the Air Force is 36. However, the specific score requirements for different Air Force jobs may vary. It is recommended to aim for a higher score for better job options and opportunities for advancement.
How do you find your ASVAB score once you have taken the test?
The formula to derive the AFQT "raw Score" is 2VE + AR (Arithmetic Reasoning) + MK (Mathematics Knowledge). This formula results in the AFQT "raw score," which is then converted into a percentile score. [cited from ABCs of the ASVAB. pg 3. by Rod Powers About.com]
Is 112 a good score for a 23 year old?
It's above average, which is 100. Good job.
What is the average ASVAB score?
Military entrance is based on your AFQT which is a combination of 4 of the ASVAB tests - Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Math Knowledge and Arithmetic Reasoning. You score is compared to a nationally representative sample of 18-23 year olds. Your score is a percentile. For example an AFQT of 45 means that you scored as well a or better than 45% of the people in this nationally representative group of youth. The services require an AFQT of 31, except for the Air Force which requires 36. In good recruiting times the services can be more selective, so you want to be sure to get your best score. You need to study and prepare for the test. The most recommended study guide is McGraw-Hill's ASVAB which has a comprehensive review of the content areas found of the ASVAB, 4, full length practice tests, and lots of study tips. It also contains lots of information about each of the services, their requirements and career and training opportunities.
What is the lowest you can score on the ASVAB with a GED to get into the marines?
USMC does not take GED's at least that's what my 27 year old Friend told me. PS. He has been in the Marines for 7 years, and 2nd lieutenant. Good luck.
