BE ALL YOU CAN BE! THE FEW. THE PROUD. CROSS INTO THE BLUE! ACCELERATE YOUR LIFE!

The Armed Forces Qualifying Test, or AFQT, is not one test. It is actually a subset of the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB. The AFQT score is the primary score that gets you into the military. Each branch of the military has its own minimum AFQT score that determines your military fitness. This book will help you achieve the score you need, no matter whether it is for the Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, or Marines!

SEMPER PARATUS (ALWAYS READY)

Much of what is on the AFQT is material you’ve already covered in your high school classes. We’ll give you the basics and reinforce those basics with drills, exercises, and a practice test that you’ll find at the end of the book. We designed this book with you in mind—the potential recruit who wants to enlist. What you’ll find ahead of you here is everything you need and nothing more. Once you get into the military, the scores on the other subsets of the ASVAB determine which jobs you may be well suited for. But remember, if you don’t meet a certain minimum score on the subtests that make up the AFQT (see above), you won’t even be able to enlist. We are here to help you.

A full-length ASVAB practice test is available online at www.rea.com/asvab.
