How to Prepare for the ASVAB: Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery

by Barron's Educational Series

Young men and women planning to join the United States armed forces must take and pass the ASVAB test battery as a prerequisite to entering military service. Test results are also used by the military to assess each recruit's aptitudes and skills, and as such, serve as pointers for specialized training. This valuable manual presents an overview of the ASVAB, recommends score-improving test-taking techniques, and offers four full-length practice tests with all questions answered and explained. It also contains subject reviews in all ASVAB test areas, which include general science, math, paragraph composition and word knowledge, electricity and electronics, automotive maintenance and repair, shop tools and materials, and basic mechanics. A final chapter helps test-takers analyze their practice test scores and assess their job opportunity prospects when they join the military services.
