Air Force Journey #4 Understanding Your ASVAB Scores

Here is the fourth video that I've made for my Air Force Journey series. If you've already watched it, skip down to the supplemental material, if not here it is for your viewing pleasure.

ASVAB Standard Scores

  The standard score row on your ASVAB score sheet tells you how well you did in the different sections of the test. Each two letter abbreviation stands for a subject tested on in the test. For example, AR stands for arithmetic reasoning and tells you how you did on the math portion of the ASVAB. AS stands for Auto & Shop Information, and will tell you how well you did there. These scores are then complied to create the composite scores of the next section.

ASVAB Composite Scores

The composite scores on your ASVAB will give you compiled scores that will tell you which jobs in your service you will qualify for. The Air Force has four, Mechanical, Administrative, General, and Electrial. Check out this link to see AFSC and what ASVAB score they require.

ASVAB AFQT Percentile Score

This is your total ASVAB score. Each service requires a different score to even be eligible to enter the military, but to be competitive you must have higher than the minimum if you want a real shot at joining. To stand a good chance at joining the Air Force, a score of 50 has to be the absolute minimum.
