Military aptitude

ASVAB

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is a U.S. military aptitude test used for enlistment screening and job matching. It is not a certification, and there is no single passing score. The AFQT is a percentile from four subtests: Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Arithmetic Reasoning, and Mathematics Knowledge. Other subtests feed service composites. The computer version, the paper version, the school Career Exploration Program, and the at-home PiCAT are not the same sitting. Passy does not give the ASVAB, report an official score, or enlist anyone.

Scan the official ASVAB content areas and keep each study session connected to the wider exam.

01

AFQT subjects

  • Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension
  • Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge
  • These four feed the enlistment percentile. They are not the whole battery.
02

Other enlistment subtests

  • General Science, Electronics Information, Auto Information, and Shop Information
  • Mechanical Comprehension and Assembling Objects
  • Services combine these differently. A composite is not the AFQT.
03

The sitting you are actually taking

  • Proctored CAT at a MEPS or MET site is the common enlistment form
  • Paper is only at some MET sites and uses a different question table
  • PiCAT is unsupervised and still needs a verification test
