I'm taking the Asvab on the 16th. Does anyone know any good study guides online?

As I seem to remember, when I took them, 10 years ago, there wasn't much studying for it, it was pretty much know it, or fail. It wasn't bad at all though.

I am a college graduate and not very worried, but if there is any preperation that can be done, I want to do it. For Warrant Officer Flight Training I need to score a mininum of 90 with a GT of 112. I wanna blow that out of the park

I found this site and started taking the practice test, and I have to say...This is like 9th grade mastery exams...Its incredibly easy. For all you guys who'm have taken the test before, would you mind checking this practice one out, and let me know if the real one is similar to this?

thanks

Study guides? This is the military we are talking about here. They are not looking for minds. They are looking for cannon fodder.

I took it about a year ago... those tests are pretty much what I remember. I do remember circuit diagrams, and thinking "I could have scored higher if I had known to study those." Memorize your basic circuit symbols, like resistors, capacitors, LEDs, transistors, etc. I was trying to remember that stuff from high school physics, and could generally get it narrowed down to a 50-50 guess.

Like others said, it's mostly you know it or you don't type stuff.

Your recruiter should have a practice one, both paper study guides and a short 30 min practice test on a computer (mine did). Check out your city library; mine had a whole shelf of study guides that I found after I had taken it.

I am commissioning, not enlisting, but it doesn't matter. Cannon fodder or not, from the enlisted to the warrants to the commissioned, i'd much rather take the brightest minds.

Cav the asvab is easy.

Study the vocabulary portions of the practice test.

Some of the hardest math stuff was "FOIL" type equations

The mechanics is easy "If I turn this gear this way, wich way will gear "A" turn?

The hardest part of the electronics portion (for me) was remembering the stupid resistor color code: (cant ever remember wich color was wich)

I took mine when I switched to the USAF (6 years after HS) and did better on it than as a HS Senior.

My friend and I took it our junior year in HS (He's an engineer w/ the marines now), and both of us scored in the 90's. I remember it being really easy, although I can't remember exactly what kind of questions were asked.

When I took it back in the 80's I scored in the high 90's without even trying & was the first one finished. On top of that I just went through a lot of the math part of the test marking at random because I didn't feel like working out any of the problems. My buddy that went with me tried his best & scored so poorly the army natl. guard was the only branch that would take him & he had to go into some sort of dunce course first, like the fat camp they send people to before basic when they are too heavy. They sent his dumb a** to idiot camp lol

If you are smart enough to consider yourself of average intelligence you won't have any problems if the test is the same as it was when I took it.
