I just took the ASVAB last week. I scored an AFQT percentile score of 90. I'm currently going Air Force and the scores were:

M 73 did not study for it at all, hardly gave any effort and still scored 73

A 91 my recruiter said that this part is always easy

G 88 The book helps a great deal

E 81 The book helps a great deal too except the electronics sub test

So here are my recommendations concerning those going Air Force. Study this book if you need high scores in the AFQT, general, and electronics. I would supplement this book with the online tests on [...] and a specific book concerning electronics. Hardly any of the electronics material from the book was on the test, so you may have to buy a Electronics for Dummies. Take all 3 of the full tests on [...]. That's it! You will need nothing else except 7-8 hours sleep, a hardy breakfast, some coffee, and self confidence. Remember, you are being scored on how well you do against your competition. Most of the tests were only 16 questions and you will have ample time to answer. Just stay calm and be confident. Make sure to have a small snack, like an oatmeal bar, and use the restroom before going to take the test. It is a freakin' cake walk!

Oh, and one more thing some of the military people there are rude. You think they would have some decent manners.

I studied my butt off with the help of this book. The practice tests in this book were actually harder than the real ASVAB! That helped me be even more prepared. I only missed 5 questions on the ASVAB! NO LIE! Study this book for about 3 weeks and take it seriously. You will see your scores improve!!!

This book was wonderful. My son needed it to improve his ASVAB score and it worked really well for us. He did score higher, a lot higher than his orginal score and we were both please with the results. I would recommend this to anyone attempting to take the ASVAB. You will reap the benefits if you read and study the book.

This book was very helpful in letting us know about the ASVAB. It showed us how to get a better AFQT score as well as what areas we needed to score higher in to get the job we wanted. It was very easy to use and the practice tests were so helpful. My husband past the test and got the job area he wanted. It also prepared him for what the test day was like and gave him clues on how to stay at ease and help his knowledge be better used. We were in a hurry to study up and it was quick and to the point. I will probably look at other dummies books for other helps.

This book worked very well for me in preparing for the asvab, though i did not take any of the practice tests. All the material is well--explained. Using this book helped me boost my score of 81 to a 93. :D

This book was what it says it is. I'm no idiot, and just wanted to review some old math that I figured I could catch up on. I already had a pretty good score on the ASVAB in all areas, but this book improved all areas regardless.

I'm almost looking forward to actually taking the ASVAB after reading through this book- it made everything so easy, even the sections I don't need to excel in! Very clear, and the author is personable enough to make you feel comfortable while learning...

I borrowed a copy of the ASVAB for Dummies from my local library. While I used other study guides after this, I enjoyed this guide the most. I completely forgot all of my highschool mathematics and needed the review. The for Dummies series makes light of dense and boring subject matter and actually encouraged me to enjoy studying! *gasp* For an overall review this is a great book and it makes studying several entirely different subject matters fun and easy. If you need a serious mathmatics review like I did I recommend this book and picking up another ASVAB study guide to make sure you cover all theories and practices. I received an 80 on the ASVAB and am very happy with my score.

The information and the tips were very hepfull.The test parts and the answers give an almost test scenario.Thank you very much.

My husband said this book was excellent, its really helping him study for the ASVAB, he hasnt taken it yet so we dont know what his score will be but he studies everyday using this book.
