This AFQT score is represented as a percentile (from 1-99) which depicts how well you scored compared to other test takers.

How to Use ASVAB Practice Correctly

Using ASVAB prep correctly will drastically increase your score and help you study in a more efficient manner. The following strategies will help you:

1. Take a Diagnostic Exam

Taking an initial ASVAB practice test will help you learn where you stand. You may find that you did well on 8 of the subjects but struggled with the other 2.

A diagnostic exam is a great way to help you gauge where you are starting from and track your progress as you continue your studies.

2. Target Your Studies

After taking a practice exam, you can narrow down which subjects your struggled with. You can then target your studies on those specific subjects.

It is important to be honest with yourself when targeting your studies. You should focus on the subjects that give you the most trouble first and work your way through those.

As you become more comfortable with the subject, you can move on to the next most difficult subject for yourself.

3. More Practice Exams

After completing some targeted studying, take some more ASVAB practice tests. You can compare your scores from these practice exams to your diagnostic exam.

Did you do better? Are the scores on this round of practice exams matching your expectations?

These are some of the questions you should be asking yourself.

4. Utilize Answer Explanations

Answer explanations are a great way to learn complex concepts. You will learn how to solve ASVAB specific practice questions and how to solve them in the most time efficient manner.

Even if you already know how to solve a question, an answer explanation may help you figure out how to solve it in a better (quicker) way.
