Is it possible to get a waiver for the air force with a asvab score of 35?

Question

I really want to join the air force and i just graduated high school, im willing to take whatever job they offer me just to get in!!!!

but i was wondering was there anyway i could get a waiver with a score of 35 on the asvab test?

I know this may not be much either, but i did score of 37 on the practice AFQT test with my navy recruiter (i dont really want to join the navy) thats my last result!

So would you please help me anyway possible!!!!!!!

Your answers are greatly appreciated.....

Answer 1

It could be possible. But just buy a ASVAB study guide at a hometown book store. They really help. I enlisted in the Marines and leave for boot camp October 27th. I think the company that made mine was Kaplain or something. it improved my score by 15 on the AFQT and increased my GT (General technical in the Marines. not sure what the AF calls it) to 115. I had my eyes set on infantry since I was a kid so I could apply for special forces, but I had a choice of pretty much any job I wanted.

I think it'd be better than getting a waiver I think.  

Answer 2

with a 35 and a HS diploma you are already eligible for the Army and Navy.   they typically will NOT permit you to take it again, because if you score lower, the second score is your final score..and lower than a 35 will make you ineligible to enlist.  

the ASVAB score in non negotiable.  you either qualify, or you don't.  no waivers allowed.  and the AF grants almost no waivers anyway.

Answer 3

When did you take it? You can re-take in within 30 days. Maybe the Air Force isn't willing to drive you down to MEPS again to take it, but I am sure you can set everything up again.

I graduated college with an English degree. I hadn't done any sort of math without a calculator since junior year of high school. I sucked hard on the math knowledge and even the AR without a caculator. I took 5 days to study and refresh. I scored just as high on the math sections as on the verbal. Study. Plain and simple. You can buy a cheap study guide or take free ones on the internet.

You are going to regret not getting an AFQT score of a 50, even in the Air Force.

Tell your recrutier you are gonna hard core study, and you want to take it again. If he isn't willing to help you, go see another recruite.r

i just joined the navy and i don't see why that would be a last resort. also the navy just bumped up its requirements for women i think. just to let you know i signed up for a hospital corpsman and i liked some of the jobs the navy offered. also my grandfather and many other people say they never went a night without warm food, and a good bed. i would suggest do whichever will give you the best exp. so you can leave with your g.i. bill the health care and easily find a job after the service. for example everyone has this idea that navy is just you're on ships 24/7 when that's not all true. my friend actually had it written in his contract that he will never be on a ship and he has the same job as me so we work with marines as well but see what you're qualified for honestly then look at your options. don't bag on any branch because each branch does what it does for a reason.

Answer 5

A asvab score of 35 right out of high school? Good lord did you take it with your eyes closed?  I

know this may sound like its not helping you, but please don't join until you knock out the cob webs between your ears...  and your willing to take whatever job they off you??? please!! don't be so retarded and set yourself up for a major disappointment.  Research and be sure your doing the right thing, not just for you but for the whole military.

Answer 6

You cannot get a waiver... The Air Force has no problem with recruiting and is very stringent on any waivers given out.

Buy "The ASVAB for Dummies" and go through each section. Do all the even numbered review problems then take the first practice exam. Go back through and do all the odd numbered review problems and take the second practice exam.

You can also go to www.military.com to take an on-line version of the practice ASVAB.

Once you've studied go talk to a recruiter. Let them know that you've been studying and that you would like to retest at MEPS.

Answer 7

No. ASVAB scores are final.

However, you can study for it with your recruiter's help and re-take it at MEPS.  You're only one point away from the minimum required score, so with study, you should be perfectly capable of getting a 36.

Additionally, your ASVAB score combined with your diploma qualifies you for any other branch of military service.

Answer 8

Possibly, however, why? Take it again, when eligible, otherwise, you are setting yourself up to be miserable, study, using 1 of the many study guides available, and score higher, opening up more opportunities for you. Why set yourself behind the 8 ball?

You scored 1 point below the minimum, so study, take numerous practice exams on-line... you can do better than settling for an MOS you may not like.

"Air Force

ASVAB Score - Air Force recruits must score at least 36 points the 99-point ASVAB (Note: The "Overall" ASVAB Score is known as the "AFQT Score," or "Armed Forces Qualification Test Score"). Exceptions are made, however, for a handful of high school graduates who can score as low as 21. But these "category four- A" recruits (by regulation) cannot exceed more than one percent of all recruits per year. (Note: A "Category IVA recruit is a recruit who scores between 16 and 30 on the AFQT). In actuality, the number of Cat IVA recruits the Air Force generally accepts each year is about 0.1 percent of the Air Force's annual accessions.

Education - You're more likely to be struck by lightning than enlist in the Air Force without a high school diploma. Even with a GED, the chances are not good. Only about 1/2 of a percent of all Air Force enlistments each year are GED-Holders. To even be considered for one of these very few slots, a GED-holder must score a minimum of 65 on the AFQT. The Air Force allows a higher enlistment rank for recruits with college credit."

After 30 days, you CAN retake the ASVAB, and study guides do help.

ASVAB scores can be waivered in all Branches, however it is unadvisable, and unlikely anyway, as the number of waivers allowed for that are few, service wide.

Please read the links, don't get discouraged.
