Any Army anons out there?
Looking for some tips on taking the ASVAB.
I want a high score and have been studying but I don't think I'm ready. I need to work on mechanical/engineering mostly but the general science is fucking annoying. Evey practice test is random bits of science so I'm pretty much cramming thousands of worthless science facts in my head hoping one of them is used on the real test.

Welcome to the real world. You never know what you think you need to know.
It's not hard, man. Just study for a few weeks prior and go into it well rested.
>needing to study for the asvab
nigga just go take it. shit's easy.

You overestimate your average armyfaggots intelligence.
It's basic knowledge. If you don't have that already..then you're a fuckin' idiot.

>Want tips on talking the ASVAB
don't. Why would you want to join the military?
>>767461183
That's the thing though. A lot of the shit on the tests (both science and math) I forgot since highschool.
I relearned a lot of it but there's just so much that I apparently don't know. I never really paid attention either.

That's what makes it a pretty easy test to do well on, the score is a percentile and the population you're being compared against isn't the best and brightest.
>>767460847
You were probably poor test taker.
Don't learn facts. Learn principles, and apply those.
>>767460847
How long have you been out of high school or college?
Learn how to test, that’s one of the most important things.
Also, anything higher than 110gt doesn’t really matter. What mos are you trying to get?
if youre not a retard youll pass. Have a 110 gt score and you can get any mos

Still in highschool with about a month left.
>>767461580
Not quite sure on the exact job, but I want options.
>>767461829
Well that’s your first issue. Find out what YOU want to do, then walk in to the recruiter, drop your dick on the desk and demand it. They will try every way possible to fuck you if not.
>>767461580
>>767461768
How does the scoring system work?
And what's gt score?
>>767461829
Just go open contract, you'll be fine
>>767461829
Then everything that's on the test should be fresh in your mind and you'll be fine
>>767460847
They let a certified card carrying autistic be an MP at Fort Riley. You'll be fine.
>>767460847
Just take a practice test with your recruiter. I did that with no studying and it was easy as fuck.
Join the Airforce before it's too late anon.

veteran here. a lot of young kids join the military to kickstart the rest of their life. even if you only do 4 years, you'll have a much easier time finding work after you're out.
the asvab isn't hard at all, you can basically get any mos if you score higher than a 70 or so. but I'd recommend figuring out an MOS asap. then once you have an MOS in mind, google as much shit as you can about it (as long as it's not like cook or medic or infantry, that shit is self-explanatory). I joined as a 25U which I thought was going to be computer shit but was comms shit. still ended up working with computers at my unit but my AIT was all radio shit.
>>767460847
ASVAB score doesnt mean shit. You will get the job the give to you.

The Army has one of the highest concentration of low IQ dumb fucks of any organization, only competing with the Marines. If you sign your name and know your primary colors, you'll be in the top five percent of the ASVAB. Really, it's like a 9th grade bench test. How do you think we have such a high concentration of knuckle-dragging drool-on-themselves "sir, yes-sir" morons to do the enforcing of global capitalism? They certainly aren't trying to attract the best and the brightest. They're trying to attract meat to throw at the enemy who won't question their leadership.

>The Army has one of the highest concentration of low IQ dumb fucks of any organization
this. I had people in my squad that legitimately got their asvab waived entirely because they needed more of my mos
>>767465651
What are recommended MOS for computer shit? I'm interested in that IT type of stuff.
Or should I just ask the recruiter which jobs focus on computers?
>>767466086
google 25 series
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
JUMBO SHRIMP
GENUINE ARTIFICIAL
>>767466283
or be like most soldiers nowadays, learn a bunch of life skills at training and get stationed with a non-deployable unit. anyway, trump won't send troops to syria
Former Air Force. Just do like I did.. don't prepare. You'll be fine (unless you're my brother or autistic - not the same thing). For the "real" advice (though the above is not fake - I didn't prepare and I scored pretty high on everything except mechanical), focus on the type of job you want. You mention mechanical.. so focus on that area. Having a basic understanding is good enough to get you into the Army (and ONLY the Army).

The ASVAB is not a pass/fail test.
It is designed to test your knowledge in a number of areas. It is also designed to test the depth of your knowledge on some subjects.
Your not gonna get a doctor scoring tops in communication and your not gonna get a guy who like fixing tanks looking at his science scores.
That way The Army knows where you should be when you start and your training paths
Good Luck man.

There's some cyber security MOS that I was considering re-enlisting for before I came to my fucking senses. But, if I had to do it all over again I'd go into that. Requires a high ASVAB score but it's a good deal.
>>767460847
Literally knodding off on heroin while taking test. Got a 61
>>767469099
Been a while but don't they drug test you at MEPS?
>>767469038
What is/was your current MOS?
>>767469248
6116, Tiltrotor Mechanic (Marines)
DO NOT GO INTO AVIATION. AVOID AIRCRAFT LIKE THE FUCKING PLAGUE.
OP please dont join, cause the chances are you're a spoon fed pussy who is gonna be useless, make bad choices like buying a high interest mustang, cant afford the bills, forget to pay off loans and attempt suicide and make your ncos pull guard on you and ruin their weekends. Thats 99% of all the new boots that show up and im sick and tired of dealing with fuckshits who cant even order a pizza on their own
>>767460847
if you are worried about the ASVAB, the military isn't for you.
>>767469231
Took the asvab about a month before meps process
Would say be a crayon eater, but that shits about to get even gayer with Korea being unified
>>767469609
What should I be worried about?
>>767470280
your days of worrying about everything will be over. Get used to being told what to do 24/7.
get a 2 yr associates degree and join as a warrant officer
>>767470764
Look at how it takes 2 USA Soldiers to carry that sword, when a single anime school girl can not only carry it on her own, but swing it around like a badass.
>>767465788
Not true at all.
>>767470467
Not really - depends on which unit you land in. 82nd, etc? Yeah you'll be shuffling around cutting grass for days. Group is where it's at.
>>767460847
You're joining the army,you don't need a high score.
>>767470764
I have much more respect for the warrents who went in as enlisteds first, knowing the struggle from the ground up before they put in their packet.
>>767472247
You don't need a high score if you want groot work with little to no transferability or training outside of the Army. Score high and get into cyber or MI if you want to get into a 3 letter agency.
>>767469315
Fuck that. 15w was a good time.
