I think I may have some tips to help you all pass the asvab test: 1. MATH: Please remember order of operations. The order of operations in the order in which you solve a problem. If you follow the order... you WILL get the problem right! PLEASE ( Parenthesis ) EXCUSE ( Exponents... like 4^2 = 16 ) MY (Multiplication) DEAR ( Division ) AUNT ( Addition ) SALLY ( subtraction ) Also, it is good to know very basic geometry. For Example... A circle has 360 degrees. A triangle has 180 degrees. A diameter is the distance from any point of a circle to the exact middle. A Radius is a line that goes through the middle of the circle from one side to the other. I finished each math section with 15+ minutes to spare. Although I do consider myself to be good at math, I feel there is ample time to WRITE EACH PROBLEM OUT. Use your scratch paper. Ask for an additional piece. USE IT! Mental Math is NOT your friend on this test. English comprehension & word association: The section on reading comprehension.... EASY Read the questions first. DO NOT READ THE PARAGRAPH until you have seen the questions. The odds are you will read your answers in the order they are presented in the questions. Some of the questions may ask "what is the purpose of the writing?" Do you feel the passage tried to persuade you? Inform you? Discourage you? Imagine the tone if someone were reading it to you. Word association: "One of these is NOT like the other!" Find out which word in the answers does not go. Also... sound out the word in your head. Sometimes you know the word, but do not recognize it because it is not a word used in our daily lives. I'd say for 75% of the questions, the answer is overly obvious. Go with your first instinct. General Science: I am 25 years old ( at the time writing this ) and it has been a LONG time since I have taken high school science. All of this material is learned in high school science or is common sense. It was 10 years ago when I "learned" the material; however, the questions asked were more common sense than things that should be studied. Remember... this test is not a competition. Go get some tutoring. If you are taking the test for the 5th time, the way you prepared the past four times doesn't work. If you need some electrical work done and are not familiar with the trade, doing it yourself is a bad idea. You would call an electrician. The same goes for preparing for this. I wish you all the best of luck! Todd Hello,

I took the Asvab for the first time and got an 83.

I think I may have some tips to help you all pass the asvab test:

1. MATH:

Please remember order of operations. The order of operations in the order in which you solve a problem. If you follow the order… you WILL get the problem right!

PLEASE ( Parenthesis )
EXCUSE ( Exponents… like 4^2 = 16 )
MY (Multiplication)
DEAR ( Division )
AUNT ( Addition )
SALLY ( subtraction )

Also, it is good to know very basic geometry.

For Example…
A circle has 360 degrees.
A triangle has 180 degrees.
A diameter is the distance from any point of a circle to the exact middle.
A Radius is a line that goes through the middle of the circle from one side to the other.

I finished each math section with 15+ minutes to spare. Although I do consider myself to be good at math, I feel there is ample time to WRITE EACH PROBLEM OUT.

Use your scratch paper. Ask for an additional piece. USE IT! Mental Math is NOT your friend on this test.

English comprehension & word association:

The section on reading comprehension…. EASY

Read the questions first. DO NOT READ THE PARAGRAPH until you have seen the questions. The odds are you will read your answers in the order they are presented in the questions.

Some of the questions may ask “what is the purpose of the writing?” Do you feel the passage tried to persuade you? Inform you? Discourage you? Imagine the tone if someone were reading it to you.

Word association:

“One of these is NOT like the other!”

Find out which word in the answers does not go. Also… sound out the word in your head. Sometimes you know the word, but do not recognize it because it is not a word used in our daily lives. I’d say for 75% of the questions, the answer is overly obvious. Go with your first instinct.

General Science:

I am 25 years old ( at the time writing this ) and it has been a LONG time since I have taken high school science. All of this material is learned in high school science or is common sense. It was 10 years ago when I “learned” the material; however, the questions asked were more common sense than things that should be studied.

Remember… this test is not a competition. Go get some tutoring. If you are taking the test for the 5th time, the way you prepared the past four times doesn’t work. If you need some electrical work done and are not familiar with the trade, doing it yourself is a bad idea. You would call an electrician.

The same goes for preparing for this.

I wish you all the best of luck!
