How it works

Three steps, no guesswork

01

Find out where your AFQT sits

Four sections decide whether you can enlist. Sit them timed and find out what you would score today, before a recruiter does.

02

Sit the form you will actually be given

225 questions in 149 minutes on paper, or 135 in 197 on the computer with no going back. No calculator on either. Practise the wrong one and you walk in mispaced.

03

Open up the jobs you want

Line scores decide which roles you qualify for. Section scores show exactly which ones are holding you back.

Sample question

Judge the quality before you pay

Every question is written to exam level and comes with an explanation that tells you why the other options are wrong, not just which one is right.

Mechanical ComprehensionMultiple choice

Two gears are meshed together. The driver gear has 12 teeth and the driven gear has 36 teeth. If the driver gear turns at 300 rpm, how fast does the driven gear turn?

  • A100 rpmCorrect
  • B300 rpm
  • C900 rpm
  • D3,600 rpm

Explanation

Meshed gears trade speed for torque in proportion to their teeth. The driven gear has three times as many teeth (36 ÷ 12 = 3), so it turns at one third of the speed: 300 ÷ 3 = 100 rpm. The commonest error is multiplying instead of dividing, which gives 900 rpm — offered here because it is the mistake people actually make. The rule to hold on to is that the bigger gear always turns slower.

Realistic by design

Two forms, and you do not pick

Where your recruiter sends you decides which ASVAB you sit, and the two are paced completely differently. We build both, separately, so you can practise the one you will actually be given.

What students say

Real scores, from real students

The people who sat the full-length tests before test day, and what changed for them.

“I have sat a lot of exams in my career and I still rate this 12 out of 10. The questions match the real ASVAB pattern closely and the explanations are the best part. I would send anyone on my crew here before they test.”
James BrewingtonRN / CEN / EMT-P, 15 year air medical veteran
“I worked through these tests for months before I sat the real thing and my AFQT came out far higher than I expected. Honestly I did not think it would move that much. Around 80 to 90 percent of what I saw at MEPS followed the same pattern I had already practised.”
Lisa WalkerEnlisted after retaking
“I completed the full sets and finished every one of them and it got me the score I needed. The material was easy to follow and I always knew where I was losing points. I recommend this to anyone sitting the ASVAB.”

Questions

Before you buy

What is the AFQT, and how is it different from my ASVAB score?

There is no single 'ASVAB score'. Four sections — Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension — combine into the AFQT, which is a percentile from 1 to 99 and decides whether you can enlist at all. The remaining sections feed line scores, which decide which jobs you qualify for. This works identically on both forms: the same four sections produce the AFQT whether you sit the CAT or the paper version. If you only have time to prepare for part of the exam, prepare for those four.

What AFQT score do I need?

The published minimum is 31 for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Space Force, and 36 for the Coast Guard, if you hold a standard high school diploma. Those are floors, not targets — branches routinely admit well above them, and a higher score opens more jobs and more bonuses. Your recruiter is the authority on what is currently being accepted.

Is the AFQT a percentage?

No, and this trips people up constantly. It is a percentile. An AFQT of 50 does not mean you got half the questions right — it means you scored better than 50 percent of a reference group of test takers. That is why a 31 is a pass rather than a fail.

Which form should I practise, CAT or paper?

Whichever one you will actually sit, and your recruiter knows which. At a Military Entrance Processing Station you sit the CAT-ASVAB on a computer. At a Military Entrance Test site, usually a National Guard armory nearer to you, you sit the paper form. They are the same exam pitched at the same level, but the paper form gives you 225 questions in 149 minutes and the computer form gives you 135 in 197, so the pacing is completely different. If you genuinely do not know yet, the Both Forms bundle covers you for less than buying either twice.
