ASVAB

[Mamora BAR]

So im returning home and considering joining the airforce since jobs are hard to come by.

I got a bachelors degree, im 24, 6 ft 3 and weigh around 245 which of course im going to lose weight to qualify but im wondering about the ASVAB.

Has anyone taken it? Is it hard? any tips?

[Griswold]

it is like all other standardized tests

there are different sections on the test

i scored a 88 on mine, flunked the part on automoblie parts and how they worked.

Took it back in 09 with nothing more than an Alternative High School Diploma. Scored a 92 on it (high enough to qual for any job in the Corps). I didn't study much but I tend not to do well on tests when i study. It trully is an all around apptitude test and there is no way to be sure which version of it you will get when you take the test. It has stuff ranging from high level math to mechanichs and Literature. My suggestion is to take a couple of the practice ASVAB's in order to prepare and talk with your recruiter about it as well.

ya ima buy ASVAB for dummies

Sounds like a plan let me know had one person i know ace that thing...

[Bickford]

the asvab is pretty simple, its 3 sections mainly, english/ grammer, math, and puzzels. the main thing to know is the math, that is the hardest and longest section of the asvab, but if i can pass it and have 120 on it, then anyone can. highest score i belive is 150, at 110 you can do any job in the military, the jobs in the military are based on your asvab score, so if you get 110 or higher you can do any job in the military.

ya i plan on taking it when i get home. Not sure what route i will take since i have a degree...either enlist or go in as an officer...not sure whats available to me air force wise

[Bickford]

what kind of degree is it? to be an officer if i remember right, it has to be a bachlers.

[Takel 1st MRB]

i've never taken it myself. but if you can get your hand's on previous one's then givrself mock exams. they always help

[Bickford]

the recrutment office should be able to give you practice ones

[Mamora BAR]

I has an Associates degree and a Bachelors degree

then you should be good to go officer, but you will have to still go through basic and MOS training then go to OCS ( Officer Candidate School ) and just because your trained for one job dosn't mean your going to be an officer of that job, you will be an officer of the job the military wants you to be

[Anders]

Also better pay as an officer and nice accomidies. You would be screwing yourself if you went in as an enlisted when you had the other option

[Mamora BAR]

Well that depends on how physical i am cause im 6 ft 3 and weigh around 245 bleh. I've been working since the age of 16 and i am now 24 and have held many jobs already. Gots lots of skills so hopefully ill find the right area.
