Asvab Scoring - What to Make of Your Afqt and Line Scores

Asvab scoring is not as straightforward and straight transmit as you might think.  In fact, nothing about it is straightforward or straight forward.  It is a good idea to understand the inequity in the middle of the Asvab Afqt and the Asvab Gt before you sit down for the exam.  

The Asvab is unmistakably nine individual subtests outside a range of subjects.  That's why they call it a battery (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery).   Each subtest is scored individually and plays a separate role in the Asvab process. The Asvab Afqt ( Armed forces Qualification Test) is not other test, it's the score of four subtest together with Arithmetic mental (Ar), Mathematical Knowledge(Mk), Word Knowledge (Wk) and Paragraph insight (Pc).   The Asvab Afqt is your most important score because it is score they use to determine your enlistment qualification.

So the take away here is that those four subjects are the most important.   In fact, your Asvab Afqt score determines whether or not you qualify for any type of enlistment bonus, college plan or college reimbursement plan.   

Asvab Scoring - What to Make of Your Afqt and Line Scores

You will also come over the terms "raw score" , "standard score", "percentile score" and "line score".  Again, these are all just scoring interpretations of the nine separate subtests.  traditional tests scores are reported as a percentile which is the amount of right answers divided by the total amount of questions times 100.  The Asvab calculates it differently.  The Asvab percentile score is a comparison of your score in relation to everyone else score.  The top Asvab score in terms of percentile is 99. This means you did better than 99% of the other habitancy who took the test.  

What most habitancy refer to as their Asvab Test Scores is unmistakably the Asvab Afqt score which is typically represented in percentile form with the following minimum requirements for enlistment.  Based on your score, you are put in a category.  The forces limits the amount of habitancy they take from the lower categories based on their enlistment needs.  

Category I           93-100%              superior  

Category Ii          65-92%                perfect  

Category Iiia      50-64%                Above mean  

Category Iiib      31-49%                mean  

Category Iva     21-30%                Below mean  

Category Ivb      16-20%                Markedly Below mean  

Category Ivc      10-15%                Poor  

Category V          0-9%                     Not Trainable  

Raw scores are the amount of points you get on each subtest. Each question is worth a separate amount of points based on its difficulty level.  Hard questions are worth more points than easy questions. The standard score is unmistakably a conversion of the raw score based on standard distribution of scores with a mean of 50.   

Line scores determine which forces jobs you qualify for. Various combinations of all nine subtests are thought about in the Line Score requirements for each job assignment.  Every field of the forces looks at line scores a slight bit differently.  

For example, the Asvag Gt or general Technical is an Army line score which is calculated as the Verbal Expression (Ve)  score plus the Arithmetic mental (Ar) score.  The Ve is calculated from the Word Knowledge (Wk) and Paragraph insight (Pc) score. Yes, it is confusing but that's how it is done.
