ASVAB Enlistment Requirements


There are requirements to joining any branch of the military and one of them is having a certain score on your ASVAB. The qualification score is known as the Armed Forces Qualification test (AFQT). It is comprised of three different sections: Verbal Composite (VE), Math Knowledge (MK), and Arithmetic Reasoning (AR). There are two parts to the VE score that you will be judged on. Requirements for the score range from a 31 in the Army to a 45 in the Coast Guard.

    Hey there, I’m trying to apply to get in the US Coast Guard, a desired career that I would like to do for my life. Around 3 weeks ago I went to Miami MEP’S to retake the ASVAB due of my low score of the first one (40%). I thought that the AFQT score was about evaluating just the 4 strong areas of the ASVAB which are : Word Knowledge (WK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), and Mathematics Knowledge (MK) , but one of the recruiters from the Coast Guard told me that they overall your AFQT score from everything, so I studied so hard for everything in my second try getting a 50% this time (a not bad score,but my best because English is my second language). According with the information of this blog it says that the requirements for the score in the Coast Guard start from 45, my recruiter even told me that if could get unleast a 50% he might do something to help me out,but now he change his mind saying that I need a 60%.I’m not trying to find a excuse about being a immigrant ,just being realistic and that everyone can understand my situation.I’m not looking to go around the minimum scores in order to apply either, just trying to find a way to be accepted due my little disadvantage when I took the test. So please any help will be appreciated from my whole heart, my e-mail is [email protected] , thanks in advance =)
