Are there two entrance exams — ASVAB and AFQT?
No, there is only one exam — the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery — ASVAB for short. The ASVAB has 10 tests. Your scores from four of the tests — Word Knowledge (WK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), and Mathematics Knowledge (MK) — are combined to compute your score on what is referred to as the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT). Scores on the AFQT are used to determine your eligibility for enlistment in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps. Scores on all of the ASVAB tests are used to determine the best job for you in the military.
How often can I take the ASVAB?
After you take your initial ASVAB, you must wait one calendar month to retake the test. You must wait an additional calendar month to retest a second time. After that, you must wait six calendar months to retake the ASVAB. Your scores may be used for enlistment for up to two years from the date of testing.
I’ve heard that the ASVAB administered on the computer is harder/easier than the paper and pencil ASVAB. Is this true?
The CAT-ASVAB may seem harder or easier than the paper and pencil (P&P) ASVAB because the CAT-ASVAB is tailored to your specific ability level. The P&P-ASVAB contains some very easy and very hard questions, but most are of average difficulty. The CAT-ASVAB software adjusts to your ability level and administers questions that are best suited for you. If you are above average ability, you will receive questions that are above average difficulty. Hence, the CAT-ASVAB may appear more difficult than the P&P-ASVAB. If you are below average ability, you will receive questions that are below average difficulty. Hence, the CAT-ASVAB may appear easier than the P&P-ASVAB. Even though the questions differ in difficulty across the CAT-ASVAB and P&P-ASVAB, the reported scores are statistically linked across the two methods of administration. Thus, you would be expected to receive a similar score regardless of whether you take the CAT-ASVAB or the P&P-ASVAB.
I took the ASVAB at my school. Can I use those scores to enlist in the military?
Your scores can be used to enlist for up to two years after the date of testing, provided that they can be verified as being yours.
WHAT IF I FAIL THE ASVAB?
Your scores can be used to enlist for up to two years after the date of testing, provided that they can be verified as being yours.
There is no pass or fail on the ASVAB. You cannot “ace” the ASVAB or “flunk” it! Your scores reflect your own abilities!
You will want to do your best so that you will be eligible for the military skill specialty that matches your ability and interests. In addition, to be eligible to enlist in one of the military services, you must obtain a minimum AFQT score, which varies between services.
WHAT’S THE AFQT?
To gain entrance into the military service, you must obtain a minimum qualifying score on the ASVAB—your AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score. Your AFQT score predicts your potential for training in military occupations. The AFQT score is based on youth population norms for males and females aged 18 to 23. In other words, your AFQT score reflects your standing compared to men and women in this age group.
WHAT SUBTESTS MAKE UP THE AFQT?
To gain entrance into the military service, you must obtain a minimum qualifying score on the ASVAB—your AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score.

Your AFQT score is comprised of your test results in Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Math Knowledge (MK), and Verbal Composite (VE) x 2. Your Verbal Composite score is a combination of your Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension scores.
Your AFQT entrance score varies by service. Some occupations require higher sub test scores than others—these scores determine how qualified you are for certain military specialties.For instance, a career in journalism requires a higher ASVAB score than a career as a secretary. Why is that? There are moreverbal and analytical skills required in writing, editing, andcritiquing the written word. Contact your area recruiter to find out what score you need.
HOW LONG ARE ASVAB SCORES VALID?
ASVAB scores are good for two years.
IS THERE A SPANISH ASVAB?
No. This is a frequently asked question. The ASVAB test does not exist in any other language. Service regulations, technical manuals, operations orders, etc. are all written in English. You will have to be able to function in English in the military, which is why the ASVAB test is given in English only. If you score high enough on the ASVAB, and your native language is not English, you may be screened on the English Comprehension Level Test (ECL). The ECL is a standardized test which measures your listening and reading comprehension skills. Depending on your test results, you may be given follow-on testing and further training.
