Prove your military worth with a stellar AFQT score

The Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) is the most important part of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), and you need to start preparing for it early. Your AFQT score determines which branch of the military you can join, and the better your score, the more attractive you become to recruiters. Your AFQT score is determined by your scores on the Verbal Expression, Mathematics Knowledge, and Arithmetic Reasoning sections of the test. Each branch of the military has their own criteria for potential candidates, with different minimum standard for high school graduates and GED holders. These minimum standards are rising with enlistment levels, so you need to prove that you're up to par.

ASVAB AFQT For Dummies, 2nd Edition is your complete study guide to the AFQT. Retired Air Force Sergeant Rod Powers is a recognized authority in U.S. Military matters, and the ultimate AFQT tutor. Powers guides you through the critical information you need for the test, and gives you the confidence you need to do your best under pressure.

  • Get acquainted with the basics of the AFQT, and learn the art of test taking
  • Expand your vocabulary and enhance your reading comprehension skills
  • Refresh your math skills, and make peace with word problems

ASVAB AFQT For Dummies, 2nd Edition includes four separate practice exams with answers, so you'll know exactly what to expect on test day. Being in the military is all about showing what you're made of. The ASVAB is your first opportunity to do that, and ASVAB AFQT For Dummies, 2nd Edition will teach you how to dig deep and be the recruit the military wants.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PREP BOOK!!!!

I can say that I studied this book for about 3.5 weeks. I took my ASVAB recently, for the very first time ever (2/21/2015). My intentions were to score a 50 or above to be accepted into the airforce. I scored a 68! I was VERY intrigued by the results! The word knowledge in the book was very difficult (atleast to me) but on the actual ASVAB it was so much easier! The math sections was a breeze, once you actually dedicate yourself to learning the methods! I could've acored higher if I actually knew sh*t about mechanics, electronics and auto shop..lol. I chose this book because of the motivational reviews and I promised myself if I were to score a 50+ I would like to encourage others about the benefits of this book! I legit spent atleast 2 hours a day studying this book. It's hardly boring too! I finished reading it by my first week, and I continued to do practice tests for the remaining two weeks! Once again, I was highly pleased with the results of this book!!

You're either considering on buy this book to improve your current (decent) score, or you just can't get a passing score. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK IF YOUR SCORE IS ALREADY GOOD. It will not help.
I had previously scored a 75 on my ASVAB a few years ago when I was in high school. Since its been a few years since I've been in high school I figured I would buy this book to "freshen up" my knowledge. I also though that maybe it would give me a few pointers that I could use to study. Sadly it did not. Literally EVERYTHING in this book was just common sense, for me at least. But I can't really knock it because it could be beneficial for others.

Had useful info, definitely for folk who aren't coming into knowing a lot of the knowledge given. I would suggest looking into apps like "ASVAB Mastery" by HLT, great resource for people who study on the go.

This book is worth every penny! Both of Rod Powers "for Dummies" books have been purchased and we continue to use them still, as my son plans on entering the Canadian army in September. I have not found anything this side of the border that compares in quality of study material or how its presented. Although the Canadian test is different, I would highly recommend both to anyone wanting to prepare for either the American AFQT, or the Canadian CFAT. Can't go wrong!

My boyfriend used this to study for the Military Entrace exam and it came out ok. Most of the things he studied from this book did not come out at all not even close. So I will not recomment this book to everyone. If I were you, buy the latest version. It will you better than this one.
