ASVAB Study Guide Review

If you want to join the elite United States Armed Forces, you must first take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). This multiple-choice test is administered by the United States Military Entrance Processing Command, and is usually taken by American high school students in the 11th grade at their own volition.

Every year, about 1.25 million students from 14,000 schools take the ASVAB. The ASVAB may also be taken at a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) or at a rural Mobile Examining Team Site (METS). The ASVAB is free, and it will point out your strengths and weaknesses relevant to joining the US Armed Forces. 

The ASVAB is broken down into 9 diverse sections:
* General sciences
* Arithmetic reasoning
* Word knowledge
* Paragraph comprehension
* Mathematics knowledge
* Electronics information
* Auto shop
* Mechanical comprehension
* Assembling objects.

There are 200 multiple-choice items to be answered in 134 minutes. The ASVAB scores each subject individually, but it also yields composite scores. Composite scores are derived from combining scores of individual subjects in order to arrive at composite scores for verbal, math and academic ability.

Taking the ASVAB does not signify outright enlistment with the US Armed Forces.
The scores are released to the local school, which is given the option to forward the same to the United States Armed Forces recruiters.
