Face it - unless you were a 4.0 honor roll trainee in high school you're not going to know every talk on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (Asvab) test. In fact, it may surprise you to learn that the soldiery doesn't expect you to know every talk either. The reality is that the Asvab is more about your capability to solve problems under pressure (a very critical skill to have in the military) than it is about measuring your knowledge.
Of procedure having the knowledge can't hurt but by plainly comprehension the format of the Asvab questions and recognizing what they're truly testing you on can help make up for any knowledge deficit you may have going in. That's where the Asvab pretest comes in.
Taking as many pretests as possible is the best way to prepare yourself for the actual test because it offers two very foremost benefits. First, you come to understand how the questions are structured and the format of the answers that appear over and over as wrong choices (the soldiery isn't very imaginative when it comes to making up wrong answers).
Imagine going straight through the questions on the actual Asvab test and knowing right off the bat that one or even two of the answers are wrong because you've seen answers with the same format as wrong answers on the Asvab pretests you've taken - talk about a huge advantage!
Second, the most stressful part of any new feel is not knowing what to expect. Too many possible recruits go into the Asvab test cold with only the knowledge of the Asvab pretest they took in their recruiter's office a few months ago to go on.
Do you think they're nervous?
Of procedure the are!
Not only are they worried about what material is going to be on the test but they also have to sound with the new feel of truly going straight through the questions themselves. Do you think they would be more comfortable if this wasn't the first or second time they'd truly seen an Asvab test? I think the request is definite - that's why I recommend those studying for the Asvab to take as many pretests as possible.
Download paper versions from websites, get them from study guides, and take online versions of the various subtests. It will go a long way towards helping you score your top on the actual test - much more so than spending study time with your nose in some musty textbook or boring dictionary!
