ASVAB Test
The ASVAB test is a multiple choice test used by the military to measure an applicant’s suitability for enlistment.
There are nine sections on the exam: General Science, Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, Electronics Information, Automotive and Shop Information, Mechanical Comprehension, Assembling Objects, and Verbal Expression. The time limits for each section range from 10 – 36 minutes; the entire exam takes three hours.
It’s important to do well on the test, because high ASVAB test scores lead to more and better military career options. Test practice scores are based mostly on the four math and verbal sections, so these are the critical areas to study for with multiple ASVAB practice tests.
You can use our large and growing library of free ASVAB practice test questions and videos to help you prepare for this all-important exam.
