Your AFQT score
decides which jobs you
qualify for.
The Armed Forces Qualification Test score is a percentile built from four of your nine subtests. Score low and your options narrow — score high and every job on the list opens up.

Maybe you want to fly, build, code, or lead. Whatever role you're
chasing — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard — your
score is what decides which jobs are actually on the table. Score well,
and technical fields, higher enlistment bonuses, and your first-choice
job are within reach. Score poorly, and your options narrow before
you've even started.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ASVAB and why do I need to take it?
The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a multiple-aptitude test developed by the U.S. Department of Defense. The military uses it to decide whether you qualify to enlist and which jobs you are best suited for.
Some high schools also offer the ASVAB through the ASVAB Career Exploration Program, which helps students explore career paths without any military obligation.
What subjects are tested on the ASVAB?
The computerized ASVAB (CAT-ASVAB) has 10 subtests: General Science, Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, Electronics Information, Auto Information, Shop Information, Mechanical Comprehension, and Assembling Objects. The paper version combines Auto and Shop Information into one subtest, so it has 9.
Four of these subtests (Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, Word Knowledge, and Paragraph Comprehension) determine your AFQT score. The others contribute to the line scores used to match you with specific military jobs.
How many questions are on the ASVAB, and how long does it take?
The CAT-ASVAB has roughly 125 to 145 questions across its 10 subtests. The exact number varies because some tests include unscored research questions. Each subtest has its own time limit, and the exam is self-paced, so most people finish in about 1.5 to 3 hours.
The paper-and-pencil ASVAB has more questions (roughly 190 to 225, depending on the version), a fixed time limit for each subtest, and takes about 3 hours including instructions.
How is the ASVAB scored?
The ASVAB does not use a simple percent-correct score. The CAT-ASVAB is adaptive: a correct answer leads to a harder question, and an incorrect answer leads to an easier one. Your score reflects both how many questions you answered correctly and how difficult they were.
Your results are compared with a national reference group. You receive a standard score for each subtest and an AFQT percentile from 1 to 99. Each branch then combines subtest scores into line scores (also called composites) to decide which jobs you qualify for.
What is the AFQT, and what score do I need to enlist?
The AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score is the main number that decides whether you are eligible to enlist. It is calculated from Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, and a verbal score built from Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension, with the verbal portion counted twice.
The AFQT is a percentile. A score of 50 means you scored higher than about half of the reference group. The minimum score depends on the branch and on whether you hold a high school diploma or a GED. It generally falls between about 31 and 40, and GED holders often need a higher score. Policies change, so confirm the current requirement with a recruiter.
