HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Congratulations! You’ve made a great choice in buying this test preparation book. It has been designed and refined over many years to help you do your best on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB, but make no mistake, this book contains the latest updates and information available.

To get the most benefit from this book, follow this approach:

■Read the first two chapters, “All About the ASVAB and AFQT” and “How to Achieve Your Best ASVAB and AFQT Scores.”

■Take the Diagnostic Test in Chapter 3. Remember to follow all the instructions, including the time limits. After you finish, check your answers and record your score on the Progress Chart on page 28 in Chapter 2.

■Use the Study Guide on page 29 in Chapter 2 to plan your time. Concentrate your efforts on the areas where you did not do well, but don’t neglect reviewing the other areas. Remember, your goal is the highest score possible in each section so that you will qualify for the widest possible number of specialties.

■Reread the section in Chapter 2 on test-taking techniques. Then take Practice Exam One. Remember to pay attention to the time limits for each subtest. Check your answers, review the answer explanations, and fill in the Progress Chart on page 28. Go back over the review sections for any subtest where you scored less than Excellent.

■Take Practice Exam Two. Once more, keep yourself to the time limits for each subtest. Check your answers, review the answer explanations, and fill in the Progress Chart on page 28. Review any subjects where you scored less than Good.

■Take the AFQT Focus Exam. The AFQT is the most important part of the ASVAB, so this is a second look at your top-priority subtests. If you are still not doing well, consider getting someone to help you with your most challenging areas. At a minimum, go back to those areas in the review chapters and go slowly through the relevant information. Make sure you understand every bit of it—think of wringing every drop out of a wet cloth.

■Go to the online tests and, still keeping yourself to the time limits, take the first test. Chart your score on the Progress Chart on page 29. Do you see any trends developing? Go back over the review sections for any subtest where you scored less than Excellent.

■If you have not scored Excellent on every subtest by now, take the other two online practice tests. Don’t skimp on areas where you have done well. If you know the material, repetition will make the pattern of knowledge stronger. If you don’t know a subject as well as you thought you did, the additional practice will both identify your weaknesses and help you correct them.

■Look at the subtests or composite scores that affect the specialties in the military branch you are interested in. If you are not yet scoring in the Excellent category for those subtests as well, the online tests will give you valuable practice.

■If you have scored either Good or Excellent in every category on the Progress Chart, it is probably time to take the actual test—your championship game. Good luck!
