ASVAB
The Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery
To enlist in the military, you must take the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery otherwise known as the ASVAB and receive a qualifying score on your Armed Forces Qualifications Test or AFQT.
The AFQT score is based on your performance in the areas of Paragraph Comprehension, Word Knowledge, Mathematics Knowledge, and Arithmetic Reasoning and will determine your eligibility to enlist in the various branches of the military. Each branch of the military sets a minimum score so check with the branch you are interested in to know the specific score you need to enlist in that branch.
The individual branches also use the ASVAB to determine what military occupational specialties (MOS) you qualify for. Each specialty has different required scores in specific sections of the ASVAB. More information on scoring, including which sections of the test are used to score each specialty, can be found by visiting goarmy.com
If you are interested in joining the military and would like to be scheduled to take the ASVAB, please see the counselor.
