5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is Awesome, January 23, 2006

By	E. Roberts "EJR" (West Palm Beach, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: ASVAB Basics 6/e (Arco Military Test Tutor) (Paperback)

I bought this book along with the book "30 days to the ASVAB" and it was a tremendous help. I have been trying to get into offcier candidate school (OCS) for sometime now. In oreder to get into OCS you need a GT score of 110. I studied from another book then took a practice test to see how well I would do and ended up getting an 84! I then decided to buy this book. I found that this book cover everything you need to know about the exam in great detail. The exams in this book are much harder then what you will actually find on the real exam but if you can master the questions in this book you will master the ASVAB. Don't waste your time on silly online programs offering "Secrets to Passing the ASVAB" just study this book (along with the other book) for about a month and you will do just find on the ASVAB. I actually found questions in this book to be on the real ASVAB! Tha was a suprising bonus to studying with this book. Needless to say, I ended up scoring a GT score of 120! And an AFQT score of 88! With these two scores I will be able to go to OCS and pick almost any military work field I would like to work in! Don't sleep on buying this book and preparing for the ASVAB. I recommend this book to anyone who has struggled with the ASVAB in the past or who just need a refresher on math and english...you will NOT regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for test preperation, October 27, 2001

By A Customer

This is an excellent book for learning the specifics required to pass and do well on the ASVAB. If you can pass or excel on the practice tests in this book, you will do even better on the real test.

2.0 out of 5 stars ASVAB BASICS, January 27, 2009

By	Serenity Grey "Serena" (Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: ASVAB Basics (Paperback)

I had compared reviews for the different ASVAB study guides to see which had the critcs. I have my GED, so when I tried for admission to the United States Navy, I had to make at least a 50% or above. I started studying this book about 3 weeks before the test, and I studied about 3 or 4 hours a day. I have a worst time in Math, so I spent most of my time on that subject. I went to take my test and my score came back a 43%. That was my second time taking the test. The first one was a 47%. The explainations for the questions after are more complicated. it was hard for me to understand what they were talking about, and where certain numbers had come from.
