Asvab scoring is not as straightforward and level forward as you might think. In fact, nothing about it is straightforward or level forward. It is a good idea to understand the unlikeness between the Asvab Afqt and the Asvab Gt before you sit down for the exam.
The Asvab is indubitably nine individual subtests covering a range of subjects. That's why they call it a battery (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery). Each subtest is scored individually and plays a dissimilar role in the Asvab process. The Asvab Afqt ( Armed forces Qualification Test) is not someone else test, it's the score of four subtest along with Arithmetic mental (Ar), Mathematical Knowledge(Mk), Word Knowledge (Wk) and Paragraph comprehension (Pc). The Asvab Afqt is your most important score because it is score they use to determine your enlistment qualification.
So the take away here is that those four subjects are the most important. In fact, your Asvab Afqt score determines either or not you qualify for any type of enlistment bonus, college plan or college reimbursement plan.
You will also come over the terms "raw score" , "standard score", "percentile score" and "line score". Again, these are all just scoring interpretations of the nine dissimilar subtests. former tests scores are reported as a percentile which is the estimate of right answers divided by the total estimate of questions times 100. The Asvab calculates it differently. The Asvab percentile score is a comparison of your score in relation to every person else score. The highest Asvab score in terms of percentile is 99. This means you did great than 99% of the other population who took the test.
What most population refer to as their Asvab Test Scores is indubitably the Asvab Afqt score which is typically represented in percentile form with the following minimum requirements for enlistment. Based on your score, you are put in a category. The forces limits the estimate of population they take from the lower categories based on their enlistment needs.
Category I 93-100% outstanding
Category Ii 65-92% excellent
Category Iiia 50-64% Above mean
Category Iiib 31-49% mean
Category Iva 21-30% Below mean
Category Ivb 16-20% Markedly Below mean
Category Ivc 10-15% Poor
Category V 0-9% Not Trainable
Raw scores are the estimate of points you get on each subtest. Each quiz, is worth a dissimilar estimate of points based on its mystery level. Hard questions are worth more points than easy questions. The accepted score is indubitably a conversion of the raw score based on accepted distribution of scores with a mean of 50.
Line scores determine which forces jobs you qualify for. Various combinations of all nine subtests are thought about in the Line Score requirements for each job assignment. Every subject of the forces looks at line scores a slight bit differently.
For example, the Asvag Gt or general Technical is an Army line score which is calculated as the Verbal Expression (Ve) score plus the Arithmetic mental (Ar) score. The Ve is calculated from the Word Knowledge (Wk) and Paragraph comprehension (Pc) score. Yes, it is confusing but that's how it is done.
