How the plan sets your priorities
Your ASVAB scores (subtest Standard Scores and AFQT percentile) shows how you did in each test. Use it to rate each one below; the planner doesn't need exact scores. So the planner asks you instead: the tests you mark as hard start your plan, mixed ones are strengthened, and confident ones get lighter review. Your answers are a self-assessment, not an official result.
Each test starts from its share of the exam (the official outline publishes no weights, so the planner uses an even split), multiplied by its priority: 3× to start, 2× to strengthen, 1.5× if you leave it blank, and 1× to maintain. A quarter of your time is mixed practice across all tests. This is Passy’s planning method; it doesn’t estimate a score or a chance of passing.
Retake rules for the ASVAB
Wait one month after your initial ASVAB before a first retest, and another month before a second retest; after that, wait six months between retests. The rule is the same whether the first test was a student (school) test or an enlistment test.
- The wait is a calendar month, not a fixed number of days (official example: a first retest on March 20 allows a second retest on or after April 20), so minDaysBetweenAttempts is null.
- A retest given before the wait ends is invalidated.
- A Critical AFQT Gain (20 or more points within six months) requires a confirmation test (C-Test), which can be given without the one-month wait.
- No limit on the number of retests is stated.
