I have a Asvab For Dummies book but it is not really in detail. Please give me some good advice on how to study for it thanks.

You do not need to study for the ASVAB (assuming you graduated from middle school). A person could literally be retarded and score very well.

I went to basic in fort jackson....i went on june 2nd 2004. Dont bring a damn thing.....When you get there...they give you a 'smart card' and they make you buy shoes...clothes..socks..etc. Keep in mind everything you bring you will be holding with your arms straight out for atleast an hour... so dont buy anything. Try to be what we call'high speed' dont kiss ass..and DONT ASSUME THE DRILL SERGEANTS LIKE YOU..BUT do everything your told to the best of your ability and as fast as possible. Try to become the bay leader or the platoon leader. Work your ass off in pt and dont cry or whine. Whether you like the training..(rifle,landnav,bayonette courses..etc) or not have fun with it but dont smile. Say YES DRILL SEARGEANT , NO DRILL SERGEANT as loud as possible. Keep your area clean and learn how to do hospital corners on your bed BEFORE you go to basic. Start drinking plenty of water now....youll have what is called force hydration where you have to drink 2 qts so you might as well start now so you dont get sick. Make sure your 'battle buddies' dont fuck up...stay on them even if they hate you tellin them what to do itll look good on your part and youll have a smoother ride. Be aware that theyre will be some 'crazies' when you get there...people will try to pull some bullsh it and kill themselves, run away, talk back....just ignore them and do what your supposed to do. The red phase is the worst. Oh and once you get to the blue phase ( last phase) youll be right back to red phase...they like to mind fu ck you like that. Dont stress it though. Youlll learn to like the chow...no soda or dessert but youll be alright...umm if you have anymore questions you can message me on im whatever496@yahoo.com

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.)

I suggest doing some research along with talking to your local recruiters.  Basic pay is the same across the board but it's the special duty pay that may differ.  In terms of moving up the enlisted chain, they all go to E-9.  Army and Marines just have different names but the manner in which you reach higher ranks differ from service to service.  Your drive and dedication will determine how quickly you advance.  Jump at every opportunity to attend special skills schools like Airborne and Air Assult.  Work hard at earning an Expert Infantry Badge.  Volunteer for special duty assignments, if you qualify.  Note my suggestions learn towards Army experience.  So go out, talk to your recruiters, make a decision, get out to the MEPS, take your ASVAB and get rolling.  Oh and if you have the time, take advantage of the tuition assistance and get your degree, just in case infantry doesn't work out.

I was there. So just listen. Try your best to stay quiet and not cause problems. You will go pretty much UNNOTICED. That is what you want. There are two kinds of attention. The guys who are all gung-ho and know everything, and those who are just retarded and are always screwing up. Don't let yourself fall into either category. The know-it-alls will get crushed by the NCO's becuase they HATE smartasses. Just keep your mouth shut for the first three weeks and I promise you will come out WAY ahead. I am talking top of the class. That is the secret. I was a Drill for 6 rotations and I am telling you that is where you will get your respect. Do what you are told with a smile on your face and your mouth shut. You will be left alone by week 4, while everyone else will still be getting "picked on". Just remember, there is NEVER an accident. Everything is planned. We have P.T already scheduled, but we go into the barracks and find a problem, then we blame that person for the extra work. Its not extra. It is planned. It is for your own good. Noone is there to hurt you or let you fail. Do what they say, it will pass by in a flash. Do it your own way, and it will be one long, miserable stay.

The above answer is VERY GOOD.  In fact it is taken right out of COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8f (the Navy Recruitment instruction).  Unfortunately that manual expired in OCT of 2005.  The new instruction COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8G (which is be used today), removes the “Recruit training and assignment to initial duty station” category.  So, here is the current instruction:\n\na.Buddy groups shall not consist of more that four individuals.\nb.All members of any one BUDDY group must be enlisted on the same day, at the same MEPS, and arrive at RTC together.\nc.All members of a buddy group must have a VE line score of 42 or higher (ASVAB SCORE)\n\nSo… Everything down to the categories in the above answer is correct.  Category (A) is still open as long as the above criteria’s are met. Now, I just got off the phone with a MEPS station, the Buddies DO NOT have to pick the same job.  However if they do the have a very good chance of classing up at school together and then selecting orders together the same duty station..\n\nAny questions email me….Hope this helps.

Go through the notes. The book. And the best spot for an AP study guide is through collegeboard.com at the AP test component. You could actually test yourself with past questions.

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

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!!!

I'm in the same situation as you. I want to take my GRE in August, so I am going to start studying now. I bought Kaplan's prep book and it is starting to freak me out. I've always done really well in my classes, but I couldn't even answer half of the verbal test questions. I talked with some of my friends who took the test last year and they suggest making vocabulary flashcards or looking at different websites for help with the vocab. They said give yourself at least a month or two to help practice.

Im the king of cramming. (i dont however like to promote it cause it is bad). I just finished my final year exams at uni and for each module i more or less did a whole years worth of learning the night before the exam. Hopfuly i get the marks for theory but very little for understanding and application which are the most important to get the best marks.\n\nAt this stage you got a bit of time but just to learn the theory hopfuly your inteligent enough to understand and apply when it come to sitting the papers.\n\nThere must be one subject your prety much confident at. Split friday into three and do hard core reading for each module, be strict dont distract urself otherwise ull get no where (trust me i no). sat, split it between the two you find the hardest, maybe do a little revision at the end say half hour-1 hour on the easier subject before you go to bed. Sun get up early- you cant afford to get up late! do hard core reading on the two hardest and say about 2/3 hours on the easier one at the end.\n\nTips:\n\nAlthough you need your sleep get min 5 hours until after your finals. preferably keep it to 5 but absolutly dont let it go a second over 8hrs.\n\nget support from those around you- living at home? get mother to cook healthy nutritious small light meals and snacks. do not over eat or youll get lazy trust me i did the the day before my exam and could not concentrate on revision at all that night! this does not mean dont eat. eat freaquently and lightly and drink plenty of water its good for body and brain.\n\nif reading is not your thing write it out till you know it.\n\nTry not to revise everything. What has worked for me here in the UK is that i analysed the previous papers and also took into consideration what my tutors said what topics will be covered.\n\nGood luck mate i reckon you'll do well.

hey i took that test with my mom when she was taking it just to give her company and because i wanted to see if i knew anything and I passed. we live in Florida though.... well on our practicle they asked us how to make a bed and lift the patient up and hook him on the machiney u kno the ekg and the heart monitor and all. then we took blood, we also did vitals and bp which anyone can do. the main thing was how to take care of patients though like turning them and making them sit up like handling stuff. then written was pretty simple. mostly it was about what would you do if a vain raptures and you would go and get the nurse. and it asked about different labels and all.. anyway i got this book out of B&N. it helped a lot. good luck .....

I learned this from my class validictorian on how to study when I was in high school. You see you are not alone in this world. I was once in your shoes also. Give the following a try. I did work for me. I went from a C - D border line failing student to an A - B student in 4 weeks. First take notes in class? Take your notes & your book. Review each chapter before a test especially the night before a test. Take blank sheet of paper & copy your notes or chapter high lights from one page to another as review. While you are writing this you are self consiously remembering what you wrote. I would do this 2 times the night before a test/exam. During class listen to what the teacher is saying in class and write it down. Most teachers test you on what they talk about in class. If they repeat something you will have a 90% chance that it will be on a test. If they write on a white board. Write what they put on it. It is also on test. This does tend to cut into your social life on nights before a test but in the long run. It is you that will reap the rewards from the effort. I taught these study habits to my children & I am currently teaching my grandchildren this same study habit. It is tried & proven it does work. Good Luck you can do this. Be confident & strong. Things will improve along with your grades.

This may or may not satisfy your request, but\nwhen I was studying for the certification, I\nfound the mock exams (with answers) pointed to by:\n\n   http://www.javaranch.com/mock.jsp\n\nto be extremely useful.\n\nNote that most of the study guides (ie. books) for\nthe certification typically include lots of practice\nquestions (with answers and explanations).  You can\ncheck Amazon for the appropriate books.
