So I took a practice ASVAB. I did very well on the paragraph compression and word knowledge. However I did horrible on both math sections. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any free sites to where I can learn some algebra so as to do well on the ASVAB. I really want this so bad that I don't want that to hold me back at all.

Dude. My asvab went exactly the same as yours. good on PC and WK but horrible on math. I got 75 on practice and 69 on real. without studying at all. So youll do ok. plenty of good jobs. sorry i cant be of more help on the website's, i don't know of any.

ASVAB Practice Tests 1

If you need more, just hit up Google. You will find some more. Good luck!

I scored an 83 on the practice and a 96 on the real one, and I thought the real one was 10x as hard.

note that my highest percentage was 75% correct on any part, they were all between 60%-75%

so, theres a high "curve"

Percent correct and percentile have two completely different meanings.

I seriously doubt there is a "curve" on the ASVAB.

I dont think there is a curve. Isnt it because the harder questions are worth more points than the easier ones.

I don't know if this is true, but I remember my recruiter telling me that if you get the practice question wrong on the ASVAB then you will get the easier version of the test. I bet it's BS but who knows?

it is bs, cause if you get it wrong it says "wrong. the correct awnser is C. please select C" .. i tried it to see what would happen lol

and I dont mean theres a curve, i mean that your score is going to be much higher than the % you actually get right

I never took the computerized version.

Your "score" that you are talking about is a percentile...it means how well you did compared with others who took the test. For example, if you "score" a 95%, that means you scored better than 95% of the people who took it. The 95% does *not* mean you got 95% of the questions right.

You both are correct.

Alli is right in how the score is a percentile, vs a percentage.

From what I have been told, if you answer the first question of the computerize test, it will make the test easier. However, I still haven't seen how that makes any difference in scores. I'm not sure i believe that to begin with, but i have been told that.

I have been told that on the computerized version that if you get the question right the next one is harder. However if you get it wrong it gets easier.

That is called adaptive testing.

Thanks everyone for the info and help. I hope I do really well on the ASVAB when I take it

thanks for that link about math
