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.

ok first of all, no once he is in he won't be taking the ASVAB again.  \n2. If he is scoring in the 20's he is gonna have alot of limitations on his career of choice in the military.  If he doesn't wanna be in the infantry then the last thing he should do is to choose the infantry just to get into the military hoping to swithch later.. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!  Reclassing MOS's once your in the military is rather hard.  You have to be approved by your CO and a slot in school must be open for you.. and a slot in a unit too.  Just do not do this!\n3. IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO OVERSEES TO WAR THEN DON'T BE IN THE MILITARY. FLAT OUT IT'S THAT SIMPLE.  HE WILL HAVE ABSOLUTLY NO CHOICE AS TO WHERE HE WILL BE DEPLOYED.  \n4. Tell him to wait 6 months and take the ASVAB again.  Going in with that kind of score is absolutly awful.  Personally I have never met anyone who has scored below a 50.  For the record I was in the Army for 6 years and scored a 98 on my asvab.  Just tell him to keep taking it if that's what he really wants.  I would suggest that he practices and studys for it beforehand.  He knows what to expect now and he should be able to do better than a 29.

Start early.\n\nYou should always read everything at least once before class and once after class. You will retain more information througout the entire semester that way. Then, about 2.5 weeks before the exam, start skimming over the chapters again. Focus on what was covered more in class, also. \n\nIf you book has review questions at the end of each chapter, do each review question. I also have a tendency to outline every chapter. It's always better if you are able to apply what you learned instead of only spitting out some memorized stuff (likyou said, you don't want to memorize). So, it might even help if you browse the internet for more information/exercises related to the topic you are covering.

Study your butt off. \n\nThink about taking a Kaplan course, they're pretty well-known for doing MCAT prep. Or buy several of the test-prep books that Barrons and Kaplan and Princeton Review put out. Either way, don't try and take the test without studying for at least a month in advance, and doing some full-length practice tests. The MCAT is so long that it becomes a test of endurance, really, and the only way to prepare for that sort of test is to practice like crazy.

Read a lot and try to remember as much as possible/ as many details as possible. Training and training. Practice makes perfect.

Start physical training TODAY. Running would be best. \n\nLearn some basic military close order drill, like facing movements (left face, about face, etc.)\n\nDon't go crazy with short buzz hair cut.\n\nBe prepared to be yelled at. You're going to put up with some BS.\n\nDon't forget to STUDY. You're going to have a lot of information thrown at you.\n\nRemember to turn on the "game" when you step into the academy and turn it off when you leave. I mean your family and friends really don't want to be shown all the great tricks you're going to learn in unarmed defense class.

repetition is key. make notecards and carry them with you. study with other people and take turn asking questions.

Since you have a year to prepare, you should be in good shape before you leave.  My advice is that you start doing physical training on your own now.  Push ups, sit ups, pull ups, running, weights, and anything else that you can think of to strengthen your body.  If you are physically prepared for Basic, then you will be more able to contend with the mental and emotional abuse that you will suffer.  I would also suggest that you familiarize yourself with firearms early.  Learn how they feel when they go off, how they sound, and most importantly, how different fire arms operate.  Learn to break them down and clean them properly.  If you have this info before you leave, then you will be more prepared when you begin this in basic.  \nLearn to eat fast, and prepare yourself for a three meal, no snack day.  If you are used to eating three meals and two snacks per day you will feel hungry all the time at basic.  If you usually skip breakfast, you will feel weighted down during the morning hours at basic, and find yourself lacking the energy to make it through till lunch.  I also suggest that you learn to eat standing up (the last ones in the lunch room earn kitchen detail), so you will want to go  (with your tray while eating) from the food line to the exit line.  \nNow, of everything that I have said, the most important is the physical aspect.  If you are physically unprepared, you will have a much harder time with basic...\nGood Luck\n\nK

1. Have a regular time and location to study.\n\n2. Get ahold of upcoming lessons and read ahead. *The reason for this is important. If you study ahead - when you do take the subject in class it is a review for you. You'll actually be ahead of the class when preparing for your exam.\n\n3. Work with someone who can help you - not distract you. * This is a mastermind technique you'll use in the business world. Get use to it.\n\n4. No TV. ( a little quiet background music is acceptable)\n\n5. Learn memory techniques. Do not rely on rote memory. * Use ridiculous association for subjects where you have alot of facts to remember. Your mind is like a filing cabinet. If you don't have a filing system you won't know how to retrieve the knowledge when you need it.\n\n6. Use colored post its to mark , "must knows, could knows, and should knows. Remember - most of your hard cover books are filler. Focus on what your teacher wants you to know.\n\n7. Eating before study causes blood to go from the brain to the stomach. Watch when you eat.\n\n8. Get plenty of rest. Don't party on school nights.\n\n9. Do "all your assignments!" "Write all your tests!" - falling behind because of missed assignments or classes will make studying difficult. If you have to miss a class - have someone provide you with notes and <ask> the teacher if you're confused. DO NOT FALL BEHIND!!!! Knowing your subject is like building a house. If you miss information your foundation will be weak and your house will not hold up! That's why students who miss class have a bad time of it.\n\n10. Set a goal for yourself in each subject you take and shoot high. That is to say...shoot for an A and you'll most likely get a B. Write your goal in the present tense - I.e. It is Jun 2007 and I have completed Math 30 with an A plus. (Describe the reaction of your teacher/parents/friends and how good you feel about achieving your goal. "Remember - if a goal doesn't have a time limit set on it - your goal is just a dream!"\n\n11. Never get into a tiff with your teacher - show genuine interest and you'll see a higher grade.\n\n12. Keep good notes - no...excellent notes. Notes that refer back to your text book and highlight the must knows! Have a table of contents.

Pack light, be the first to get up and the first to get down, stay awake, learn order of rank and insignia asap (NCO's don't like to be called sir as they "work for a living"), eat fast, pay attention to details, only speak when spoken to and speak loudly, bring locks w/ keys (it's easy to forget your combo when your getting yelled at)....as I was informed at basic...only the USMC calls it boot camp....crawl under your rack to tighten up your sheets and dust cover, use foot powder, YOU DON'T HAVE TIME FOR CHICKS....I mean females.... AND THEY JUST GET YOU INTO TROUBLE....go to church even if you don't normally go (it's a nice break from the usual day)....the floor stripper cleans spray paint off the floor esp if there is already a thick coat of wax on the floor, drink lots of water, shallow breaths in the gas chamber, keep your weapon cleaned and oiled (don't forget to wipe off the buffer spring), they give you 2 pairs of boots make sure they are comfortable or it will tear up your feet, don't look around, take notes...it'll help keep you awake.....limit your caffine intake now

take a deep breath and dive in.  answer the questions you know first and then go back over the rest.\n\nfor future reference, studying in the state of mind that you'll be in when taking the test helps (even if its a state of nervousness, believe it or not).  Also, if there's any way of studying in the room that you'll take the test in, this will help you as well.  The familiar surroundings will jog your memory.  If you cant do that, bring along a familiar pencil that you used to study with.  Stupid stuff like this actually works.

First of all, chill yourself, take some rest and study with a fresh mind. Then have a look at the syllabus. Jot down the important points. Think like an examiner and guess what questions can be asked! Start with the questions that carry more marks. Read those topics. Make notes of important formulae and diagrams. Then move on to the smaller topics and try to read as many as you can. This will help you in solving short questions. And for remembering difficult passages, diagrams or formulae etc... make some easy story out of it, relate it to some "stupid" topic and try to make it as funny as possible and as easy to remember (these r technically called "memory maps"). Be confident and keep telling yourself that its all easy! All this if you have to study a day or two before the exam day! \n\nOr else, if the exams aren't near, enjoy everyday, wait till the day before the exam and repeat the above time-tested technique of the "engineers". One-day batting makes quicker runs, ain't it? ;))

If you studied well, take a few hours off to rest.  Be sure to eat a nutritious healthy meal before you go in for the exam, breathe in deep when you sit at the exam table and get your question paper to help you relax, then calmly read the questions, take the questions one by one starting with the topics you know best and answer them to the point (no waffle and) in clear and legible language, use technical words whenever possible, and move on to the best.  Don't pause except to have a sip of water if you are allowed, and when you are through, don't forget to read through them one more time for a final check.  good luck
