Hi,

I searched this site and googled and could not find an exact answer. I took the ASVAB practice test and I am not sure how to calculate my total score, or the scores for the particular sections. I understand I need to add up the individual line scores? I tried adding up each section of the ASVAB but that does not seem right. Do I take the percentage I scored right from each section, weigh each of them, then add them up? How do I come up with a total score? Sorry if I am a bit confusing and I appreciate any help you all can offer.

There is a section of Military.com on the ASVAB test, and you can read about it here: "http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/l/blafqtscore.htm" (cut and paste without the quotes).

If you are serious about joining the Military, you should get an ASVAB practice or review book at a book store, or library. Read all the info, and take all the practice tests. The higher your scores, the more jobs you qualify for.

Not sure on the pratice test, but on the real one you (VE * 2) + AR + MK to get your overall score.... If you want, I can put it your scores thru my Excel rating sheet and tell you what ratings your eligible for. Post them here, or add me as a friend and Email them to me.

Hey before I continue on, what is your overall AFQT score? It's located near the bottom of the sheet. In my example the score is 39...

The practice test scores from this site do not convert to actual ASVAB test scores.

The screening test that the recruiter gives you will compute an estimated AFQT for you.

Stec,
Got a question. How do you figure out a AFQT using the ASVAB scores? (Yes, I know the AFQT is listed on the ASVAB score sheet, but suppose it's not?)
The formula posted everywhere on the internet is: 2VE + AR (Arithmetic Reasoning) + MK (Mathematics Knowledge).
So let say we use the below example, it would be:
2*VE = 2*58 = 116
+ AR = 59
+ MK = 56
Total would be 116 + 59 + 56 = 231

So how do they get the 80 score when I'm getting 231? Thanks for any help...

Example.

There is a "norming" table where the raw # is used to find the percentile score.

I am also very VERY confused on this. I took the practice test, and added up my percentages. Now I doubt I did as well I think I did, so I would really appreciate some solid true scoring to my bit on the practice test. Thanks in advance.


General Science 56
Arithmetic Reasoning 46
Word Knowledge 51
Paragraph Comprehension 73
Mathematics Knowledge 40
Electronics Information 45
Auto & Shop Information 44
Mechanical Comprehension56
Assembling Objects 25


Thanks in advance.

Take note: The scores are the percentages correct, will update to something else if needed. :/

The only results I got for my practice test with the recruiter was one number: 53. He told me I'd atleast have to make a 50 beforehand, although I know that's not true to qualify in the Navy, I know AFQT scores are different and all, but I didn't get those for my practice test... Odd.

EDIT: Just read another post on this site saying that the recruiter's practice test doesn't give ASVAB results, but rather AFQT... Makes more sense, but I don't think there was an option for me to look at all my specific scores.

Enlistment standards change all of the time due to the needs of the Navy. While the official score to enlist in the Navy is a 35 AFQT the current standard for enlistment is a 50 or higher.

Alright guys there isn't any way for you to calculate the AFQT on your own because there are weighted scores for the AR and MK sections of the asvab.

You can, however, take a look a look at an approximate norming table here ->NO outside links So for 93 corvette, you see his raw combined scored to be 232 using this table his percentage is approx 77.

I know that you can not gauge your actual ASVAB score or your AFQT score off of the practice test found on this site.

But would my scores generally relate to a "good" ASVAB or AFQT score?

My practice scores are:
GS:72
AR:96
WK:68
PC:80
MK:100
EI:55
A&S:72
MC:52
AO:75

(EDIT: these are the percentages of the question I correctly answered from each section and not the number of question I answered correctly)

Also it took me just under 2 hours to do the full 216 question test.

Would I be ok if I came out with a similar scoring on the actual test?

Thanks for your response in advance
