I really need some advice from people smarter then I am. Right now I am really stressed out and struggling with Math and Science, and I am worryed sick about the math and general science sections on the ASVAB, what is going to happen if I fail the math and general science sections on the ASVAB? If I dont pass or do good in these areas what will happen to my chances of getting a good MOS? Will I only get jobs as a grunt?
I really need some advice, I cannot concentrate on my studys at all because I am so worryed about all of this.



please help

Just work on your general skills and you should be fine. The ASVAB isn't that hard a test.

I got a 95 on it and I'm a grunt.

[Rains]

What score do I need to get to able to get the 1371 MOS (combat engineer), do I need good math or science skills for that?

[DevilDogJAL]

No, the scores for that aren't much higher than the grunt scores. I think grunt scores are somewhere in the 30's...combat engineer might be somewhere in the 40's.

Are you struggling with spelling also?

[Rains]

Are you struggling with spelling also?

Grammer isnt exactly my strong point either.

But I am not bad at spelling thankfully.

WTF!?!
Are you trying to imply that Grunts are stupid? You are treading on very thin ice, boy. Now shut the f*ck up and go collect the shopping carts of the parking lot.

ive been out of school for 4 years i took a practice test saturday. I scored a 50-60 AFQT whatever that is im not sure any one know appx what GT I would get with that?

[Hologram]

Well, I would suggest to you to just take it, and as a tip I would say to not stress out about it at all. Do as much stressing before as you want, but when you sit down at the computer, take a minute, collect your thoughts, relax, then begin. I've always found that I score much much better if I have a clear mind and I'm focusing on the task at hand than if I'm worried whether or not I'll pass or what jobs I may or may not get just because I don't know the answer to the question I'm on.

Now, after taking the test, you can take a look at all the jobs you qualify for based on your line scores (assuming your AFQT is good enough to get in in the first place: 31, I believe it is), and if you don't like what you see then you can buy a study guide or something and see if you can't improve your score after that.

That's my 2 cents.

i think its 31 for army and 32 for Marines

[DGardner]

Study study study and study.

[sshrader]

Yeah ill probably get the study guide before I take the real deal, but atleast i know ill pass w/ the 50-60 afqt I recieved on the practice test. Im just wondering what kind of GT that would be since they didnt say. Im hoping to get 100-110

[PhantomLord]

I have the "ASVAB for Dummies" book. Its great. Comes with four full length practive exams and explains EVERYTHING. I bought it the same time I bought the Marine Corps history book. Also another great book to own. The name of the history book is Semper Fi.

[KevinR90]

Actually the min for the Marines is 31- heard my recruiter tell someone that just today (somehow spent 4 hours with him and some other poolees without noticing).

You really shouldn't have a problem with it, like it's been said already- it's a pretty easy test. Just go to the library and get an ASVAB study guide- study it, take some practice tests, you should be good.
