When I took it, a lot of it was simple, speed-based problems.  Like 9*7, 8*5, etc.  Just be quick.  And don't spend too much time trying to fill in those little round bubbles perfectly.  As long as the bubble is mostly filled in, and there aren't stray marks all over the paper, the computer will pick it up.  The whole "darken the bubble completely or the computer won't read it" is a joke.\n\nGo to this site for some more detailed information and some practice tests.\nhttp://www.military.com/ASVAB

Good trying to join the MCorps, Marine Corps vet here.  Just keep studying and applying yourself.  Have someone call out questions to you till you get it right.  You can always take the test again for another bootcamp class.  Dont give up, because if that what you want to be, a Marine, they dont give up!  Keep excercising also, lots of physical endurance as well.  Good Luck!!!

Well if are really interested in gettinf into the armed force... first of all you must make up your mind which brach(service) to join up first....\n\nThen make sure you have the minimum required eligiblity criteria for the service opting for (army,airforce and navy... each have different physical requirement)\n\nThen keep an eye on the employement new?rozgar samachar.... you will find advirtisments calling for CDSE exams.... remember only gradtuates are eligible and also make sure of your age limit as stipulated (varies for certain categories like reserved caste or for people from the N.E...etc...)\n\nThen after you fillup the form in the paper and send it (or even before that for those whom are really interested) try an get any CDSE guide or question bank..(any will do...even local... its just to give u the general idea of how the question will be.........)\nThe exams usually have basic simple mathematics,history,geography..etc..... i am sure you might not find it difficult to clear after you clear it (results will be put up on the official website a few days after the exam)...then comes the SSB interview which is something that might need a proffessional coaching to clear effectively.. its tough.. but if u r confident and have goo command over english and decent comm. skills along with proper physciological perception u will  get through.........

I'm gonna let you know something I learned during basic at Lackland. AFJROTC is crap. What they teach you is practically nothing to what you will learn in ROTC. When you get out of high school go for ROTC. My TI told us JR teachs you the wrong things and messes you up. I had a girl in my flight from JR and she got behind cuz she was stuck in JR ways

I've been enlisted, trying to go back in as an officer.  If you go officer, you submit a wish list with 10 mos's (jobs) on it. The way it works for ocs is the top of their class gets their first picks... rolls down from there. ROTC is similar. MI/Aviation are the two hardest to get into. If you are siting behind a desk all the time as an officer chances are so are the enlisted under you. Yes, officers are more like managers, but depending on the mos they are right in the thick of things with you. More money as an officer. Better enlistement bonuses for enlisted. No idea about the language..   My opininon, go to rotc, get your degree, go in as an officer. if it's not your cup of tea, you have the degree to fall back on. - good luck     /salute

Go talk to a recruiter and see what options you have.  Just be prepared that recruiters are trying to make quotas and will say lots of things to get you to join.  Make sure this is something you really want to do, it's not like a job you can just quit.  The Army can get you off to a good future, unless you get killed in action.  There is the GI Bill, and you can take classes while you are in the Army, tuition is often cheaper and often times it's waved, and there are several colleges that offer classes on-line.  You won't get rich in the Army, but you can gain a lot of experience and maturity.  Think hard of what you might like to do.  Also, take the ASVAB and see what MOS (job) you can go into, the higher your score the more choices you will have, so it wouldn't hurt to buy a study guide, there are lots of them out there, like ASVAB for Dummies.  (You will have to take the ASVAB anyway to join the Army.)

well, I too am a JROTC cadet and when you prioritize things which means you put things in order of coarse. When your Drill team sees that the one put in charge is in control they are willing to work harder to acheive much more. "when they see your in control, they know their in control." leaders lead from example.

you no longer have to have 20/20 vision--a few sailors/Marines get waivers and get PRK (eye surgery).  I also belive they are now allowing soft contacts but I'll have to look up the info on that--if I find it I'll post it.  You have to be an office, so if you already have a degree you can go to Navy OCS.  If you do not you can join NROTC or get your degree on your own then go to OCS (I'd recommend ROTC).  I know of some OCs (Officer Candidates...enlisted who are in an ROTC program to get their commission) who were in their early 30s and were told they could get an aviation billet.  I can't recall the age limit right off--contact an ROTC instructor or a recruiter.  \nYour grades need to be good--not necessarily perfect, but good.  You need to do well on your ASTB...prefferably on the 1st time to get it over with.  You need to be physically fit too and in good health to pass your PRT and flight physical.  \nContact me if you have any questions and I'll try to help, smeagolyduck13 on AOL AIM.\nhttp://www.airwarriors.com/forum/index.php\nis a great forum for aviators/wannabes and they should be able to answer any questions.

Your scores sound impressive, but what the military thrives on is drive and passion.  Keep pushing for it, bud...you'll be flying before you know it.  But you can't give up now.  \nWe need pilots and we'll need you as well. \nAim High!

DUDE.............\n\nYou continue to ask the same question over and over again. \n\nGet some balls, see a recruiter, make a decision or give it a rest.\n\nOh yeah, the amount of time you get to play with the big gun that want so much will be minimal. I was a M60 gunner in the Army and fired maybe 5 times a year.\n\nYou don't go bang everyday when you wake up unless you are deployed........................

I AM A NAVY RECRUITER.  WHAT ALL IS GOING ON IN YOUR JUV RECORD? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE THAT YOU MAY BE WORRIED ABOUT?\n\nTHERE ARE WAIVERS AVAILABLE FOR SOME CASES BUT UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON (SEE YOUR REC) WE CANT SAY!\n\nHOW OLD ARE YOU? HOW LONG AGO DID THESE THINGS HAPPEN?\nYOU NEED TO BE HONEST WITH YOUR RECRUITER BECAUSE OF A FEW REASONS.\n\n1. IF YOUR RECRUITER IS A GOOD ONE THEY WILL HELP YOU WORK THROUGH THESE ISSUES.\n\n2.  DO NOT HIDE ANYTHING BECAUSE ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO MEPS (MILITARY ENLISTMENT PROCESSING STATION) AND YOU GET THROUGH MEDICAL ETC AND SAY OH WAIT I DID DO THIS WHEN I WAS...\nTHEN YOU STOP DEAD IN YOUR TRACKS AND THEY SEND YOU BACK TO YOUR RECRUITER AND THEY EITHER CAN WORK YOUR CASE OR NOT! SO MY BEST ADVICE TO YOU WOULD BE TALK TO YOUR RECRUITER AND SEE WHAT THERE IS OUT THERE FOR YOU? WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR YOU?  JUST BE HONEST YOU DONT WANT TO WAIST THE RECRUITERS TIME OR YOURS! IT'S A LOT OF PAPER WORK TO GET SOMEONE IN THE MILITARY!\n\nGOOD LUCK TO YOU KIDDO!

Oh honey, focus and apply yourself.  Don't give up.  Study until you are blue in the face.  It's your, go for it.  Pray first.

If you try to focus on all the stuff you have to do all at once, you'll probably be overwhelmed and won't know where to begin. Instead, break the stuff you have to do into smaller tasks, prioritize and do the most important things first. Only concentrate on one task at a time. \n\nTry not to procrastinate... I know this is easier said than done, but for me, at least, most stress comes because I put things off to the last minute and then I get freaked out that I won't be able to finish on time. Sometimes if I'm procrastinating (like now) I'll play little mind games with myself and say something like, "you can (insert whatever mind-numbing, avoidance activity you are currently engaged in... asking/answering question on Yahoo Answers, for example) after you've finished your rough draft." But usually once I get started with the work I need to do, that's most of the battle and I won't go back to whatever b.s. I was doing to waste time before.\n\nI know this sounds like it should go without saying, but for a lot of people it doesn't...when it comes to studying for an exam, try to really focus on what you know is most likely to be on the test--what came up most in class, ideas or subjects you came across multiple times, topics on the review sheet (if any). Don't waste time trying to read every word in your text book, or catch up on reading you are behind on, because that won't help you. If you are really behind on the reading, just skim over it.\n\nAs for a long term solution, if you really think you have depression and an anxiety disorder, talk to a doctor. There might be a prescription that would really help you calm down and enable you to work more effectively. \n\nOk, now I need to go take my own advice and do all of the above. Good luck with everything.

All of these answers so far are way off... (that I can see, anyway)... \n\nThe reason the Navy is going to talk to you and the Army isn't is that the Navy Recruiter is willing to a little more legwork for the waiver (if needed) and may also be a little more "creative" than the Army.  \n\nAsthma is an automatic DQ for all services!  However, when I was a recruiter, I always asked, "do you now or have you ever had asthma"?  If the answer was yes, I would ask, "who told you that you had asthma"?  If the answer was "my Mom" (Mom is NOT a qualified physician) I would ask if a DOCTOR had ever told them they had asthma.  If the answer to that was "yes", the next question would be, "did he say you had asthma or alergic rhinitis with asthmatic like symptoms"? They are not neccessarily the same thing and when asked later at MEPS, "do you now or have you ever had...." he could honestly answer no.\n\nThis has nothing to do with pollen counts on the water... plenty of sailors serve ashore in high pollen areas.  Consider yourself fortunate to have a recruiter who is willing to go a little further to help you realize your goals of military service.

Generally for most Military occupational Specialties, an applicant must score above a 51 on the ASVAB.\n\nKeep in mind that the ASVAB is not a measure of intelligence, but a measure of voactional skill, codeing/decoding abilities and basic math.
