Should I retake the Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT)?

So I am fortunate enough to be at a location that offers AFCT testing. However, the last time I took the test was in 2013, and I achieved a 75 with a 118 GT, 113 CL, 104 CO, 107 EL, 105 FA, 104 GM, 100 MM, 105 OF, 108 SC, and 109 ST. I don't have a need to retake the test other than wanting to improve my scores, but if I retake and score lower, do I keep my old higher scores or the new lower scores? Is it worth it to retake or should I just keep my old score?. PFC (Join to see) SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL LTC Stephen F. CPL Dave Hoover SGT David A.

Unless you fail to qualify for something, retesting will do nothing beneficial for you. Whether your GT is a 113 or a 153, it doesn't make a difference. It's not listed in your promotion file, it's not a discriminator for any type of thing you would volunteer for. Best case, you have higher scores...worst case your scores are lowered.

Bear in mind, whether you study or not, your line scores can vary by up or down as much as 10 points when you re-test.
And your most recent scores are your valid scores.
Your scores currently prevent you from reclassing to 15 series, 35N, 35Q, 35T and 89D.
Unless your plans include one of those, hold what you got.
