Ok so you haven’t taken the test yet meaning the ASVAB test? If you haven’t taken it there’s a book you can get to study. As stated earlier aI am a former RECRUITER so please study all you can. You can actually take the test now and still do the delay entry program. You can also goggle the asvab test and practice there. Math is very important cause this is where you get your highest score. Just shoot for 60 and you are very good. It takes a 30 to get in any branch. You can not score 100. The test is not designed like that.?The highest score is 99. A very good GT score is 110. They calculate all your score in each section and come up with your total score. A 99 means you scored higher than most people who took the test with you. If you take the test at MEPS it’s done on the computer and you have to answer each question you can not go back later and change it and it will not let you skip over any question. With this your time is still running. If the recruiter takes you to another place which is a remote site you are still timed but you can skip over a question and go back later.
