About the Book

Prove your military worth with a stellar AFQT score The Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) is the most important part of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), and you need to start preparing for it early. Your AFQT score determines which branch of the military you can join, and the better your score, the more attractive you become to recruiters. Your AFQT score is determined by your scores on the Verbal Expression, Mathematics Knowledge, and Arithmetic Reasoning sections of the test. Each branch of the military has their own criteria for potential candidates, with different minimum standard for high school graduates and GED holders. These minimum standards are rising with enlistment levels, so you need to prove that you're up to par. ASVAB AFQT For Dummies, 2nd Edition is your complete study guide to the AFQT. Retired Air Force Sergeant Rod Powers is a recognized authority in U.S. Military matters, and the ultimate AFQT tutor. Powers guides you through the critical information you need for the test, and gives you the confidence you need to do your best under pressure. * Get acquainted with the basics of the AFQT, and learn the art of test taking * Expand your vocabulary and enhance your reading comprehension skills * Refresh your math skills, and make peace with word problems ASVAB AFQT For Dummies, 2nd Edition includes four separate practice exams with answers, so you'll know exactly what to expect on test day. Being in the military is all about showing what you're made of. The ASVAB is your first opportunity to do that, and ASVAB AFQT For Dummies, 2nd Edition will teach you how to dig deep and be the recruit the military wants.
