The ASVAB is a battery of aptitude sections, not one homogeneous test. Candidates should know which sections affect AFQT and which sections help describe broader career aptitudes.
Core AFQT areas
- Arithmetic Reasoning.
- Mathematics Knowledge.
- Word Knowledge.
- Paragraph Comprehension.
Additional aptitude areas
- General Science.
- Electronics Information.
- Auto and Shop Information.
- Mechanical Comprehension.
- Assembling Objects where included.
Use the ASVAB Practice Test to find which section needs the most work. If math is weak, alternate Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge. If reading is weak, combine vocabulary with short passage practice. For score context, continue to AFQT and ASVAB scores.
