Best thing that I can say is, to study hard in any areas that you're not to good at, you may surprise yourself and do really good.

Check out a few ASVAB books from your library or order them online and study them. I picked up a couple and studied for a few weeks prior and was happy with my acores

Many years ago, I took the initiative to purchase 2 different ASVAB study guide books at my local Barnes and Noble store. One was the “ASVAB for Dummies” and the other was the “McGraw-Hill ASVAB Study Guide”. Both got me a great score. And I was a C-B high school student. Study every day for 3-4 hours. And do the practice test that are available.

Get the study guide, available at any local library. I used it when I enlisted back in '06' and it was a great tool for success.

Thomas OReilly As mentioned by WO1 Private RallyPoint Member, your library should have ASVAB you can check out, or buy the study guides. Study and take the practice tests and focus on improving your weak areas. Make sure you are well rested and focused when you take the test. Good luck, and keep us posted on the results.

There is a great book that can be found at the library call The ASVAB Study Guide. It has full sections to study for each category of the test, and there are practice tests you can take it the back of the book. This is what I always used to help people study for the test.

Start keeping a written score! How long do you study every day? Write it down!

I bet you will not impress any Rally Point’ers with an honest report of your current study hours/time!

How much studying are you actually doing - without distractions, (aka TV cell phone, etc)?

Practice reading, can you find a ‘speed reading’ class?

If you totally focus on any subject, you can learn it!

My lady friend says she memorized everything she was taught in high school. Formerly a straight A student, she does not remember that stuff from school, but can she remember grocery lists!

Have you read the Gettysburg Address? If you practice reciting it, 6 times during a day for a week, you will soon be able to recite it without a cheat sheet!

I PROMISE YOU! YOU MUST RECITE IT, READ IT ALOUD TO YOURSELF, 6 TIMES A DAY!

WORK, work!

Theres an ASVAB for Dummies and An Idiots Guide to the ASVAB. Check your library before you buy it. If you score over 110 GT you'll never need it again.

Get an ASVAB prep book and study. Work on the numerical operations (NO) segment, that is a timed test of simple math. The key is to make your black mark quickly and move on. The scanner will pick it up. While other testers are carefully filling in the circle you'll be humming along. You should aim for 50 out of 50 because they are the easiest points you'll get. Practice and more practice.

Use ASVAB practice tests to find weak spots, focus on tough subjects like math or mechanics, and stick to a daily study routine. Study guides and flashcards can also help a lot.
