The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a standardized test used by the United States military to assess the aptitude and potential abilities of individuals seeking to join the armed forces. Here are some key things to know about the ASVAB:
Purpose: The primary purpose of the ASVAB is to help military recruiters assess a candidate's suitability for various military occupations (MOS) and to determine which roles they might be best suited for based on their skills and abilities.
Test Content: The ASVAB consists of multiple subtests that measure different aspects of cognitive abilities and knowledge. These subtests cover areas such as arithmetic reasoning, mathematics knowledge, verbal expression, paragraph comprehension, general science, mechanical comprehension, and electronics information.
Scores: ASVAB scores are reported as standard scores and percentile scores. The standard scores are used by the military to determine eligibility for different military jobs. The percentile scores indicate how an individual's performance compares to other test takers.
Composite Scores: The ASVAB also provides composite scores, such as the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) score. The AFQT score is derived from specific ASVAB subtests and is used to determine an individual's eligibility for enlistment in the military.
Branch Requirements: Different branches of the military may have varying minimum score requirements for enlistment and specific job assignments. Some branches and positions may place more emphasis on certain subtests or scores than others.
Study Resources: There are various study resources available to help individuals prepare for the ASVAB. These resources may include study guides, practice tests, and online tools provided by official military sources and commercial publishers.
Test Administration: The ASVAB is administered at Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS) and other authorized testing centers. It can be taken by high school students as part of the ASVAB Career Exploration Program or by individuals seeking to enlist in the military.
Importance of Preparation: While the ASVAB is not an IQ test and doesn't measure innate intelligence, preparation can significantly improve performance. Familiarizing yourself with the test format, content, and practicing problem-solving skills can lead to better results.
Validity Period: ASVAB scores are generally valid for two years from the date of testing. If you decide to retake the test, the most recent scores will be used for enlistment purposes.
Career Guidance: The ASVAB results provide valuable information about career options both within the military and beyond. Even if you don't pursue a military career, the skills and interests identified by the ASVAB can help guide your civilian career choices.
Remember, the ASVAB is an important step for individuals considering military service, and understanding its structure, scoring, and implications can help you make informed decisions about your military career path.

This Episode talks specifically about one of the most valued subjects on the ASVAB, and AFCT. That subject is Word Knowledge, Although this subtest is only 15 questions and 9 minutes that just means that it's a really fast setting to either massively boost or destroy your final score. The high stakes subtest could be considered similar to a sprint.
Some things not to do: Don't beat yourself up over poor scores, don't hype yourself up right before, don't try to cram it all in.
Some things to do: Look for opposite answers in the multiple choices, Use the context clues that the test question provides, Use simplest terms when studying find ways to understand new words in ways that relate to you.
Finally be good to yourself and treat yourself as a learner

This Episode is about The reason you need to score your best.
Transcript
Michael Gamonal: Hey, welcome back to the Podcast, guys. Today, I am talking to everyone about why you want a good score on the ASVAB. I've got about four bullet points here for some really good reasons for why you're going to want to get the best possible score.
Most of the people listening probably have already tried to increase their score before, and even if you haven't, there's always a good reason to kind of do your best, right? This can be a little bit more motivation for why it's important to have a really good ASVAB score.
Anyway, one of the best reasons is a bonus, right? One of the short-term gratification, one of the fastest ways that you get rewarded for hard work is you get a better bonus. And so, some of those bonuses aren't really dependent on your ASVAB score, like a quick ship bonus, right? Quick ship bonus means you're willing to run off the basic training or go to whatever training your branch has right away. As soon as you swear in, within a few weeks, you're off to go to your training and you're already a soldier. That's one bonus that doesn't necessarily require a better ASVAB score, but what happens is you can get a better MOS. Specific MOS's qualify for different bonuses. I know, sometimes, it can be 88M or MP's, truckers. Different things will give you different bonuses, and so the more you score, the more options you're going to have to get the best possible bonus. And so, that's a really good reason to score high so that you and somebody go into the military at the same time, but you come away with 10 grand and they go away with 5 grand, you're going to feel like you did a lot better, because $5,000 is, of course, a lot of money and you can do a lot with that so those bonuses are great.
I know that to be an officer, for me, I needed a 110 GT. That's a General Technical score. And so, when I got that, I was pretty far above it because my math skills are pretty good. Getting that 110 GT is something that I believe a lot of people are capable of. I don't think that it's out of reach for anyone, as long as you put in the effort and try to learn all of the information.
If you know how to singing any of three top songs or something like that, you can probably learn all the math that you need for the ASVAB. Most people I know have three favorite songs that they know all the words to, and so the same thing is true for all of the math formulas and stuff like that. Sometimes, it may feel like you can't learn these things, but it's just like anything. You can learn anything that you focus on long enough and that you spend enough time with. So, there's that for the GT scores.
I know Army will give out up to 50,000. Navy will give out about 40,000, maybe up to 50,000. Air Force does about 15,000, and Marines do 2,000 to 8,000. So, there's a lot of money to be made out there, a lot of bonuses for a good ASVAB score.
The bonus, that's reason number one. Reason number two is the MOS. In the Army, we call them MOS, Military Occupational Specialty. I'm not sure about the other branches, but your MOS is going to be the job you do for the next six years. Some of the more attractive jobs for me would be in health care, right? So 68W, that's a Combat Medic, those guys get a lot of health care training through the military. And even if you're just an E-1 or an E-2, you're not making a ton of money per month, but you're gaining a ton of skills, right? I know 68Ws, they know how to draw blood, they know how to give shots. They know a lot of different things. So, picking a good career is going to vastly change your life.
Personally, I've had a lot of different careers in my time, and I know I'm most satisfied and most happy when I'm in alignment with what I want to do. So, if there's something that you want to do, -
Welcome to the ASVAB Domination Podcast! In this episode, we have an exclusive interview with Lance Corporal Aldo Nunez Plascencia from Camp Lejeune at Jacksonville, NC, serving with the 1st Battalion 8 Marines Weapons Company as a 0341 Mortarman.
