Question

Im trying to go into the military is the asvab hard and how do I study for it and what do i study

Answer 1

the asvab is hella easy. i did excellent on it never studied and had not been in school before that for almost three years. good luck. talk to a recruiter they will help you, and answer any other questions.

Answer 2

if you have a high school diploma i hope you can pass. there is a possible score of 99, with 35 being the lowest to pass for the air force and 31 for the other branches. i have seen someone get a 99 but i've also seen several 8's, 12's, 19's and multiple scores in the 20's. just go take the practice test(about 20 minutes long) and that will tell you how you're looking. don't get nervous and if you don't know an answer skip it and it will come up at the end(if you're being tested on a computer). oh, usually above a 50 will get you into any job you want.

your recruiter should have an asvab study guide, if not make him buy you one or go to the library and see if they have one you can check out.

Answer 3

Go to Military.com.  There is plenty of free advice there.

Answer 4

military.com has several practices exams

Answer 5

A good estimate on how you'll do on the ASVAB is to look at how well you did on your SATs. It will cover 10 subjects(if you're going for ARMY, less with other branches). You can take it on paper, or on a computer. They differ a little bit: there will be an additional section on the computer version, and it's set up to get easier if you start answering questions wrong.

If your tricky subject is math, then take the paper version. This way, you can go back and check questions and you can skip and go back to hard ones.

Go with the computer if you have problems with English. It's set up to your advantage.

General Science covers the material generally taught in junior and senior high school science courses. Most of the questions deal with life and physical science. There are also a few questions on earth science. The life science items deal with basic biology, human nutrition, and health. The physical science items are concerned with elementary chemistry and physics. Fundamentals of geology, meteorology, and astronomy may be included in the earth science area.

Arithmetic Reasoning covers basic mathematical problems generally encountered in everyday life. These questions are designed to measure general reasoning and the ability to solve mathematical problems.

Word Knowledge tests ability to understand the meaning of words through synonyms—words that have the same or nearly the same meaning as other words. The test questions may appear in either of two forms: (1) the key word appears in the stem and is followed by “most nearly means,” or (2) the key word is used in a sentence.

Paragraph Comprehension consists of reading paragraphs that vary in length from one paragraph to several, and they are followed by one or more questions.

Numerical Operations contains simple, two-number computations in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. All numbers are one- or two-digit whole numbers.

Auto & Shop Information covers the material generally taught in automobile mechanics in vocational-technical schools and in shop instruction. The automotive information may also be acquired as a hobby or by working with automobiles. The questions generally pertain to diagnosing malfunctions of a car, the use of particular parts on a car, or meaning of terminology. The shop information may also be acquired as a hobby or through shop experience using a variety of tools and materials.

Mathematics Knowledge measures general mathematical knowledge. It is a test of your ability to solve problems using high school mathematics, including algebra and some basic geometry.

Mechanical Comprehension measures your understanding of mechanical and physical principles. Many of the questions use drawings to illustrate specific principles. Understanding of these principles comes from observing the physical world, working with or operating mechanical devices, or reading and studying.

Electronics Information deals with electricity, radio principles, and electronics. This information can be learned through working on radios, working on electrical equipment, reading books, or taking courses.

Assembling Objects is only provided on the computer-based test and requires the test taker to determine how parts of an object might logically fit together.

If you do not know the answer to a multiple-choice test item, should you guess? Yes! There is no penalty for incorrect answers on the ASVAB, so it is to your advantage to answer every question. First try to eliminate any answers that you feel are definitely wrong, and make your selection from the remaining answers.

Be sure to remember these three important points when preparing for the ASVAB and making a decision about guessing:

1. Answer all items. There is no penalty for wrong answers.

2. An "educated" guess is better than guessing "blindly."

3. Guessing "blindly" is better than not guessing at all.

Typically, you will wait in line to take the test. When your group (usually a group of 2 or 3) is called to take the test, remember to LISTEN closely and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. You may have an excellent knowledge base but if you can't follow the instructions you will not be successful. If you do not understand the instructions by all means ASK QUESTIONS. It is the responsibility of the MEPS personnel administering the test to answer your questions and to help you.

Answer 6

Go to Military.com and take a practice test there.

It's not really hard on some things, and can be a killer on others. Remember it's not just Math,Reading,Science,etc. It's all Mechanical,electric,etc. It not only tests to see if you are qualified for the Military but it also shows your strong, and weak points. NO ONE can get every question right, because you wont know every little thing. Certain branches have certain standards of enlistment.

My biggest problem is Math. From what I was told by a recruiter, the math portion is mostly basic math,equations,algebra,algebra 2,etc. I took the Practice test and I saw more a less that on it.

My best bet is focus on which subject you lack the most on(Reading,Math,etc) and study hard, get a good nights rest, and take your time and do your best.

Good luck to you!

Answer 7

Plenty of free sites online to study and take practice tests. Take the tests and research the correct answers for the questions you miss.

Search "ASVAB practice."

Good luck.
