I have a mechanical engineering degree and recently decided to join the Army. I bought this book as a review for material which I have forgotten and as a reference for things i didnt know. The book gives a good overview about the structure of the asvab and what will be covered on the exam. It contains 3 or 4 practice exams for each of the 12 sections. This book goes beyond the call of duty by not only including a key to the answers, but explaining, for each problem, why one answer is correct and the others incorrect. What I found MOST helpful is the review sections which discusses in good depth the topics for each section. for example, it discusses all of the types of hammers, screws nails rivets etc that will be discussed on the exam. I didnt do any review for the auto, shop, and biologoy sections until the night before the exam. While I would not recommend this course of action, it, in my opinion, gave me exactly what i needed to know.
If you would like to quantify, how much the book helped me, take into consideration that i scored, with the help of this book and my prio knowledege, a 99 asqt ( the highest score possible on the ASVAB) a and a 128 GT compoisite. My recruiter has never seen anyone get a perfect score before.

I have recently decided to join the navy and I have studied for the Asvab with several other testing materials and I have found this one to be the most useful. I believe this book has closest to the actual test then any of the other books I have studied with. I would recommend this book as a study guide to any one thinking of taking the Asvab Test. With this book has your study guide you will be sure to pass the test with flying colors.

I bought this book 30 days prior to taking the asvab. I worked with this book 4 hrs a day until I took my asvab. I intially had a gt score of 98. I improved my score by seventeen points to a 115. This book is a very vauable resource. I can now obtain my goal of being a military officer in the Army Guard! I am very thankful and exited about my fresh start. Thank You REA!

There are so much that I can talk about this book, but here is the review for you and I'll try to be brief to benefit your time. The title of this book is "The Best Test Preparation for the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery," and it is not a BS promise. I got 88 on the ASVAB (I know, other reviews have higher scores), and I can, as the Sergeants in the recruiting office stated, get almost any job in the Army (probably except green beret, a Secret Service job). They were thrilled that I got a good score, and I was talking to the Sergeants as almost-equals, and I felt thrilled too! It's like The Rock in wrestling wants to be your friend! I didn't read other ASVAB books and I was good in math already, but you can be too if you read this book, even for 2 hour a day for 30 days. The reviews section is extremely helpful, and I know my weaknesses and strengths now. Thank you "The best Preparation...," Amazon.com, Sergeants in Sunnyvale recruiting office, and finally my green beret friend Derek.

Good Review Book.. covers a lot.. has topics that they test on which other books do not.
