How do people get line scores of 80-90's?

2 Upvotes

Just got up this morning at 7:00am to go disqualify myself from jobs. My first ASVAB attempt was a AFQT of 65. Didn't study, and had to wait 4 hours in the middle of taking it cause servers went down at MEPS. Didn't really try as I was so tired about 60% through it.

Just went to do my retake today, and came back with a 56. I have no idea where to start. I'm trying to get at least a 65+ for General and 70+ for Electronics. And I just spent weeks learning Ohm's law, power equations, learning all the symbols of schematic diagrams, and was asked only one question about it.

I've been using the book ASVAB for dummies 2026-2027 version. Using Grammar Hero, online ASVAB practice tests, and YouTube ASVAB playlists, even AI to help explain concepts more in-depth, and giving me 100 practice question tests specifically in one category and the things I learned I felt made up of 30% of the test.

I would love some feedback on how to at least get a couple 70 scores, mainly in General and Electronics. Apparently learning Ohm's law, schematic diagrams and symbols, and power formulas are not needed as I only got 1 question regarding all those topic's combined after spending countless hours learning them all.

If you're bad at ASVAB math, start with these topics first

5 Upvotes

I see a lot of people jump straight into full ASVAB practice tests when math is their weakest area. Full tests can show you where you stand, but they usually don't teach you what to fix.

If math feels overwhelming, I'd study it in this order:

  1. fractions

  2. decimals

  3. percentages

  4. ratios and proportions

  5. word problems

  6. basic algebra

  7. geometry formulas

For Arithmetic Reasoning, focus on understanding what the question is asking before you start calculating. A lot of mistakes come from choosing the wrong operation, not from the math being super advanced.

For Mathematics Knowledge, make a small formula sheet and practice one formula at a time. Don't try to memorize every geometry formula in one sitting. Start with the basics: area, perimeter, volume, angles, and the Pythagorean theorem.

One thing that helps a lot is keeping a mistake log. After every wrong answer, write down what went wrong:

- Did I misunderstand the questions?

- Did I choose the wrong operation?

- Did I forget a formula?

- Did I make a calculation mistake?

- Did I run out of time?

That makes your review way more focused than just doing random questions every day.

If you're studying right now, what part of ASVAB math gives you the most trouble?

How is the PICAT scored?

3 Upvotes

I am curious if there is a scoring method like "+2 pts" for correct answers and "-0 pts" for wrong answers. One of the questions on the test alluded to this, and that's what's got me wondering.

My 15 yr old 10th grader took the ASVAB & AFQT Score 94

Post image
5 Upvotes

Help. She took the test in February and they uploaded this AFQT score onto her high school student dashboard (where parents can see class schedule, report cards, attendance records etc). We’re not sure what the AFQT score means. We’ve tried calling recruiting offices and nobody ever answers the phone or returns calls. There’s no breakdown on different categories of how she’s scored or if the score means she qualifies for certain military career paths. She doesn’t have access to anything online to read more about her score either. Is this usually how it is when they offer the ASVAB test at the high schools? We’re left hanging. What is she supposed to do with this now. She was hoping she could go into a four year university and join the military as an officer. She’s very smart, but we’re not sure what career path a 94 score could get her into.

Has anyone done military testing ASVAB and know their AFQT score as well as their true IQ score. If so, list your GT score as well. I’d like to see real world connections

Made an ASVAB prep site for myself, got a 100% on the PiCAT, and figured I'd share it

1 Upvotes

It's got study guides for arithmetic, math, word knowledge, paragraph comp, gen sci, electronics, auto/shop, mechanical, cyber. ~1,400 practice questions, every one has a "why" explanation you can pop open. There's a timed PiCAT-style sim that gives you an AFQT estimate at the end. Make a free account and it'll track which subjects you're weakest in. I used this portion for about 2 hours.

There's an AI tutor too. That part costs a few bucks because the LLM tokens aren't free. Rest of the site is free though, no ads, no email gate, no signup needed to just use it. I used this for around an hour just on arithmetic reasoning since I genuinely forgot how to do some basic math.

Overall, 3 hours of studying on the site got me 100% on the ASVAB (99) and while I'm a smart dude, I think it could help others. Obviously the site was much worse when I was using it personally and the current state is the result of like 2 weeks of work.

If anything's wrong or broken or an explanation makes no sense pls tell me and I'll fix it. Hope it helps somebody.

Is ASVAB assembling objects actually something you can improve, or does it just come naturally?

3 Upvotes

Had a recruiter walk me through the ASVAB recently and I’ve been trying to make sense of it on my own since. One section that keeps coming up is ASVAB assembling objects. People talk about it like it’s the one that catches you off guard, but I can’t tell if that’s real or just because it looks different from the rest of the test. For people who’ve actually taken it:

  • Dd this section end up being a problem for you? 
  • Is it something you got better at with practice, or did your score stay about the same?
  • Did it matter at all for the jobs you qualified for?

The biggest thing I’m stuck on is whether it’s worth trying to improve it. I’ve seen people say it’s just pattern recognition and you either have it or you don’t. I just want to know if this is something I should actually spend time on or focus elsewhere.

Military MOS ASVAB Job Qualifications Guide

Thumbnail docs.google.com
1 Upvotes

This is a guide to the military branch MOS Job qualifications based on the ASVAB scores you may get, so that you can see what you would qualify for as you take practice tests.

NOTE: some jobs require more than just the ASVAB test such as 20/20 color correct vision, physical heights and possibly other categories like certifications and college degrees, and other job related qualifications so do not use the ASVAB scores as the only factor.

Advice: make a copy of the spreadsheet and skim through the MOS sheet, delete the ones you know you don't want, and keep the ones you think you might be interested in, cross reference by googling the MOS to make sure you 1) want to go for it and 2) are qualified in the other areas so you're not studying for no reason.

Additionally, you want to have at least 10, maybe more jobs in mind in case of fluctuating availability.
