ASVAB Enlisted Exam Preparation

August 13, 2008 By admin

Taking the ASVAB test is a part of enlisting in the United States Armed forces that everyone has to deal with. It is one constant that you will encounter in joining that every other person that enlisted in the Military has to participate in also. Sometimes you will take the test at a local MEPS processing center, at other times you might take it at a local college or even at your high school. It is the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery, and consists of 9 separate tests that indicate your aptitudes in a variety of different areas. The test is given to find out what you qualify for as well as judging if you are suitable and eligible to join up.

There are a large number of different types of materials that are available to prepare for taking the ASVAB exam. The test will look at your accumulated knowledge, but it is very possible to boost your score by preparing for the test ahead of time. There are different methods that can be used, including Internet and online web sites that feature different. Up until the turn of the century, the test battery was made up of ten tests in the following subjects, General Science, Mechanical Comprehension, Coding Speed, Numerical Operations, Word Knowledge, Arithmetic Reasoning, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, Shop and Auto Information, and Electronics Information. Remember the job you get in the military is often largely determined by how you do on the ASVAB test. The ASVAB series of tests was developed in the 1960?s by the Department of Defense. In 2002 the tests for Coding Speed and Numerical Operations were removed from the ASVAB test sequence, and the Department of Defense added a new test section called ?Assembling Objects.? Commercially available study guides are available to purchase both in stores and on the Internet, so its wise to check out what study material is available. If you do poorly, you can take the test again in six months. However, that is a long time, so study hard, and do the best you can the first time.

Are you interested in an exciting career in the Military? See if you qualify. Click Here Now!

Try to study the most on area that you do the poorest on, but also areas that interest you that having a high score would be important for. Get used to the format of multiple-choice questions, and try to figure out where your strengths and weaknesses lie.
