AFQT Practice Test 2024

Military Entrance Score/Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) is derived from four ASVAB subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), and Word Knowledge (WK). The services will use an AFQT score to determine eligibility for enlistment.

However, each Service and each military job have different requirements, so qualifying AFQT scores can fluctuate. Each Service branch calculates service-specific composite scores to determine your qualifying jobs.

The AFQT is not a separate test but is the collection of scores from these four ASVAB subtests. Because the AFQT scores determine the eligibility for enlistment into the military, scoring as well as possible is important. This site is designed to provide candidates taking the ASVAB with additional opportunities to practice questions in the AFQT Test Prep for the types of questions they will receive within the official AFQT test sections. We provide sample practice questions across all four sections, including a score at the end of the practice exam so you can check your performance.

-The formula for computing an AFQT score is AR + MK + (2 x VE).

-The VE (verbal) score is determined by adding the raw scores from the PC and WK tests and using a table to get the VE score from that combined PC and WK raw score.

-AFQT scores are not raw scores but rather percentile scores indicating how each examinee performed compared with the base youth population. Thus, someone who receives an AFQT of 55 scored better than 55 percent of all other members of the base youth population. The highest possible percentile is 99.

-The minimum score for enlistment varies according to a branch of service and whether the enlistee has a high school diploma.

Minimum AFQT
	Tier I	Tier II
Branch	≥ HS Diploma	= GED
Army	31	50
Marines	32	50
Air Force	36	65
Navy	31	50
Coast Guard	36	50 with 15 college credits
*Army National Guard	50	50
*Air National Guard	50	50

GED holders who earn 15 college credits 100 level or greater are considered equivalent to those holding high school diplomas so they need only the Tier I score to enlist. Eligibility is not determined by score alone. Certain recruiting goal practices may require an applicant to achieve a higher score than the required minimum AFQT score in order to be considered for enlistment. Rules and regulations are subject to change; applicants should call their local recruiting center for up-to-date qualification information.

The law prohibits applicants in Category V from enlisting. In addition, there are constraints placed on Category IV recruits; recruits in Category IV must be high school diploma graduates but cannot be denied enlistment solely on this criteria if the recruit is needed to satisfy established strength requirements. Furthermore, the law constrains the percentage of accessions who can fall between Categories IV-V (currently, the limit is 20% of all persons originally enlisted in a given armed force in a given fiscal year).

My AFQT score is 62. What does this mean?

AFQT scores are reported as percentiles between 1-99. An AFQT percentile score indicates the percentage of examinees in a reference group who scored at or below that particular score. For current AFQT scores, the reference group is a sample of 18 to 23-year-old youth who took the ASVAB as part of a national norming study conducted in 1997. Thus, your AFQT score of 62 indicates that you scored as well as or better than 62% of the nationally representative sample of 18 to 23-year-old youth.

In addition to the ASVAB’s AFQT, each branch has military occupational specialty, or MOS, scores. Combinations of scores from the nine tests are used to determine qualification for a MOS. These combinations are called “aptitude area scores”, “composite scores”, or “line scores”. Each of the five armed services has its aptitude area scores and sets its minimum composite scores for each MOS.
