The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is the intellectual part of the the Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT). The test is "curved" which means that a raw score is converted to a cumulative distribution where you are ranked against approximately 6000 test takers, so a score of 95 on the test means you scored better than 95% of other test takers. This means that the raw score (percentage of questions answered correctly) does not reflect the curved score. For example, if the test is very easy perhaps 50% of candidates will score 85% on the test. This means that a raw score of 85% on this hypothetical easy test will actually give you a curved score of 50. To get into certain parts of the armed services requires better than a median (50) AFQT performance (Air force, Coast Guard, Marines, SEALS, Special Forces and Special Operations) in the core areas of Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Mathematical Knowledge (MK), Word Knowledge (WK) and Paragraph Comprehension (PC). So candidates seeking entry into those areas will want to be well prepared for the test. Understanding instructions is a survival skill in the military, so verbal expression (VE), which is composed of (PC+WK) and receives double weight in computation of the final AFQT score. "So what?" You might ask. Consider these two hypothetical candidates: Candidate A scores 99 on the AR and MK test, but 0 on both WK and PC, while candidate B score 0 on AR and MK, but 99 on WK and PC. Candidate A will have an AFQT of 33 while candidate B will have an AFQT of 66. This means candidate B will likely be able to enter any service of their choice, while candidate A may not be able to get into any service. Though such a scenario is unlikely, it is demonstrates the importance of addressing weaknesses in the VE tests to getting a higher AFQT and thus giving you more military career options.This is a very comprehensive test guide that combines DVD video (which are also available online), flash cards and practice tests (in the book and online). The book starts with practice tests for you to get a sense of where your current performance is. The core ( AR,MK, and VE) and AO, contain nothing that someone with a high school education would not know however, the technical sub-tests do require some specific knowledge that is outside a standard school curriculum. Though source material for the tests is not covered doing the questions should help you look-up the information you need to study.As with all timed tests, speed getting to the correct answer is a factor, so strategies are covered that allow you to eliminate incorrect answers quickly. There is also guidance for your pretest prep and dealing with test stress. The book covers the difference between the computer-adaptive testing (CAT) and the traditional pencil and paper test to help with you tune your test preparation.The book also comes with a money back guarantee that you will get a higher score.
I really like the way this book is laid out and all it has to offer people seeking to join the military. When enlisting in the military your ASVAB score will determine what jobs and opportunities are open to you. When you have a good ASVAB score you will be given more career path choices, which is why it is so important to be prepared for and to do well on this test. Kaplan's 2016 Premier ASVAB study guide will gives the guidance and skills needed to get a much higher score on the test. I highly recommend purchasing this book and taking advantage of all it has to offer.With the purchase of this book you also gain access to a DVD with 10 videos, online tutorials and tests, plus the use of a mobile app.The book covers the following items:1. A diagnostic test to determine what areas you most need to study2. Chapters that cover each section of the test: Word Knowledge, Paragraph comprehension, math strategies, arithmetic reasoning, mathematical knowledge, life science, earth and space science, physical science, electronics, automotive information, shop information, mechanical comprehension, and assembling objects.3. Three practice tests4. Almost 400 flashcardsOn DVD:Ten videos that cover such things as Understanding the ASVAB, how to prepare for the test, test strategies.Online:1. 3 more practice tests2. More study materials
This book was very helpful and informative. The timed practice test were a great way to study and maximize my efforts. The book will guide you through how to study and gives explanations when you get wrong answers. I took my test two weeks after getting the book and made a 84 AFQT score.
Before contacting any recruiter, I studied the whole book by heart for a month. Took the ASVAB test, and I aced it! 81/99 is not bad for a person who didn't attend high school for 2 years already.I passed the book to a new test taker. Share the knowledge! :)
I bought this for my niece who is studying for her asvab that she will take at the end of the year. She said that she really likes how easy it is to learn the content. She loves this study guide and is more motivated to study.
This book has too many errors and mistakes:When I was doing two sections of the 10 diagnostic tests, I was frustrated mainly by how often the questions had missed critical numbers/words, misleading and/or making test takers unable to finish the questions and the whole test. It brought me tremendous anxiety when I kept experiencing failures to finish the questions. My anxiety was released once I had found that the problem is not on me but on the book after I checked with the solutions on the book, which clearly includes the missd information/word in those problematic test questions.Some examples (too many to mention all):In the Arithmatic test, the question 3 shows the wrong number 3/4 that in the solution is 1 3/4; the question 10 missed a critical word "half" before the word "time"; the question 24 answer on the answer page does not match the the answer on the solution page.In the Mathematical Knowledge test, the answers for question 2, 10, 22 do not match with the answers shown in the solution section; the question 9 missed information as well.Only in two sections in one single diagnostic test has this book included so many errors and mistakes. I want no more frustration and unnecessary anxiety for preparing this test. I will not waste more time on reading this book which is filled with errors.
