how would /k/ perform on an ASVAB test?
>ASVAB
Is that a boat or something?
>>34349871
Probably decently high, but would wash out of BCT due to crippling autism.
Ive taken mock ones online out of curiosity and gotten 84, which I understand is a pretty average/slightly mediocre score for people who finished highschool and can read.
Woah now.
I aint readin that whole post. Give me a TL;DR
>>34349871
I'd perform quite well. Scored pretty high a number of years ago.
/k/ overall though I don't know. Some people here are pretty stupid when it comes to anything outside of firearms.
>>34349882
This cuts deep.

This actually happened to me.
I've been in very stressful situations that were life and death before but being yelled at with impossible contradicting tasks and being set up for failure made me go insane.
>>34349908
Already know:
88 with 120ish line scores.
>>34349883
The mock ones tend to be a bit lower. Still, 84 isn't bad.
thanks OP for this confidence booster.
>>34349888
>Some people here are pretty stupid when it comes to anything outside of firearms.
If you honestly think that then you need to spend more time here (or maybe don't), because /k/ can be plenty retarted when it comes to firearms too.
>>34349871
ASVAB is a psy op. It's even designed to bring your attention onto the task and has an obvious linear flow.
It's total crap for judging competence. Jewden crap.
>>34349908
I got a 99 with 140ish line scores on the real one. I didn't join because medical shit and autism. In retrospect I think that's probably for the best for everyone involved.
Shrek (who went to be a Delta legend) said he scored notoriously shitty on ASVAB and said he joined military for his welding skills originally.
ended up with 19 out of 30 with my score being 66-33.
can someone explain to me how this works step by step? my mind completely blanked. i guessed. even now im at a complete loss at how you get to 100.
>>34350001
1 cubic yard = 36x36x36 inches = 46656 cubic inches = 1500kg aka 1.5 tons
11x6x7 inches = 462 cubic iinches
Divide 46656 by 462.
>>34349871
>haven't taken tests in 5 years
I am failing miserably.
>>34350008
Shit I didnt read that right, it says with just 1 ton of sand.
Yeah that is incorrect result on their part.
>>34349871
I got a 99.
Probably shouldn't do this whilst halfway through breakfast so I don't run out of fucking time miles before the end, but then again the overall pattern is about the same as ~20 years ago when I last had to do this sort of shit, good at spatial reasoning and reading, cannot into math very well.
>>34349871
I took it two years ago and got a 94. I guess we could average the scores of everyone that took it before.
>>34349908
7.5 minutes for 30 questions? What is this fucking nonsense? Is the actual ASVAB like that?
>>34350030
did you even read what it said, its the quick summed up version of it. there are full tests that are longer on that website.
I got a 59 before I joined the Airforce.
I became a maintainer.
It's awful.
>>34350037
No I mean, that's not nearly enough time to answer that many questions.
>>34349871
Where do I put my feet?
>>34350012
I seriously can't break 63%.
I am crying.
>>34350050
Standarized tests are like that everywhere.
>>34350086
Nigga the ASVAB is easy as fuck, I took these tests online and was sweating about having to long-divide shit like>>34350001 >>34350008
and then I blew through it and got a 99. It's all "what's cat 5 cable" and "Bob wants to fence his yard, here are the dimensions just draw a picture" and you have well over a minute per question.
When I entered the navy I got an 85 on it. My highest categories were in information gathering and mechanics. I tried being an intelligent specialist didn't like it so I switched to gunners mate.
>>34349908
Am I retarded?
Am I a smart?
>>34349871
I took this midway through high school, it scored in percentiles right? I got a 99.
Better question: how did /k/ score on the DLAB? I got a 105ish, fuck that test.
It was a requirement for us to take it in high school, and I crushed it with no studying whatsoever. Had every branch all over my nuts wanting me to join after that, even though I had zero interest.
Get a 96. Join the Marine Infantry anyways because it's the Iraqi Surge and young man wants to go to war. Then be a veteran on /k/ and hear teenagers repeat memes you must of been stupid and scored low because you went Infantry and it must of been the only option available.
>>34349884
You passed!
>>34350365
>It was a requirement for us to take it in high school
This would not stand for 10 minutes in a non-flyover state.
>>34349908
Holy fuck, 7.5 minutes has never felt so short.
Bring a pencil and paper if you seriously try this
89....
>>34349977
It's a very easy test y'all are just retards
i am retarded?
we dont have test like this in my country btw
>>34349908
13/30 45%
I'd feel retarded but it's been ages since I've had to do those kinds of math problems.
Then again, scored a 92 on the actual asvab and had line scores in the 110's, 120's, and 130's. But that was 6 years ago and fresh out of high school.
I've got a 137 GT score and the rest of my line scores were all above 130. That more or less qualified me to do anything in the Army job wise.
110 is the minimum you need to do cool guy shit though. I'd imagine with a little bit of studying- how many of you still remember basic algebra- most of /k/ would hit the 110 mark.
>>34350432
Maybe it wasn't straight up required, but it was certainly implied that it was somehow, I don't really remember. I know I wouldn't have taken it if I didn't feel like I had to.
I'm sure if a parent caused a stink you could easily get out of it.
Took the test some time ago online and got 89.
Considering English isn't my native language, I've been out of school for several years and that we use the metric system, I feel okay about this.
>>34349871
Got an 89 when I enlisted. One re-up later in a dreadfully mentally straining MOS makes me wish I'd been steered into some menial field where I could while my days away doing stupid shit while my mind wandered.
>>34349871
I got a 95 but was denied enlistment due to heart condition.
>>34350228
yes, congrats, you qualify to be a Muhreen!
I went to the recruiting office after my last exam in freshman year and got a 95 on whatever test they gave me.
>>34349882
Ill have you know that I scored a 93 on my asvab but was medically DQed BEFORE my crippling autism could cause me to wash out thank you very much

>>34350139
They're seriously like this and I've taken long-ass 5 hour versions from contractor companies. It's a retard test to see if you are capable of getting a GED and not killing yourself with basic tools. I always laugh at the grunts that get caught saying something retarded and say "but I got a 90 on ASVAB I are smart!"
current .milfag here, got a 98 when i entered 4 years ago
>>34351695
It's not just a retard test, it's a veiled IQ test. There's a strong correlation between standardized IQ testing results and ASVAB results.
>>34349908
It that some shit.
I got a 97 when I took it.
>>34349908

>>34349883
the score is out of 100 and is measured against others who have also taken the test around the same time.
84 is better than 83% of all others who took the test.
>>34352108
It is out of 99. 100 is impossible for the reasons you said.
>>34349908
Is this good or bad?
>>34349916
So what are you actually supposed to do then? It seems like the only thing to do is acknowledge you're fucked and play along
>>34349908
60%; non-native english speaker though.
>>34349871
I got a 97, it's pretty easy.
>>34349871
I got a 93 and scored 124 GT. Pretty good. I lied to MEPS about not having a shoulder injury and that came back to bite me when it was reaggravated in OSUT.
>>34349908
Time limit fucked me
>>34349908
Man I'm bad at math
>>34349871
is there still a section of the test where it shows you a picture of a random car part and asks you what it is?
Got a 70something in high school, got an 88 when I tried to join when I was 21.
Got distracted by family, lost time and started skipping questions which had too much text, ended at question 23 I think
Still a good score imo, could be better
>>34350360
I got 103 on the DLAB I think (it was like 4 years ago) honestly the most annoying test I've ever taken.
>>34349871
My former high school told me I have a math disability, id probably be disqualified from that anyhow.
i think i got in the 80s
was dq'd a few months later though
I know a guy who is enlisting who has taken 10 AP Exams and has gotten six 5's and four 4's, SAT 1500/1600, ACT 31/36, and 99 on the ASVAB and he is joining Corps as an Infantryman.
>>34349871
Got a 99 with a 139 line score.
Still picked infantry because I'm retarded regardless.
>>34349871
I got a 67 when I took it junior year.
>>34352745
>get 97
>still go infantry
Yep.
I'd be 92W, but can't count that high
>>34349908
23/30
76.66%
Keep in mind that the average score on this test is 36%, and the actual ASVAB is normalized to 50%. That means you can divide your score by the average score and then multiply by 50 to get a very rough estimate of your ASVAB percentage score. A 21/30 will give you over 96% and 22/30 or higher will give you 99%+
>>34350360
>>34352449
Is it true that it's the most difficult test most people will ever take? I may have to take it and even though I learned and mostly forgot Spanish years ago, I still want to score well enough to qualify for the most difficult languages
>>34349871
I got a 97 on it but was disqualified due to somehow having glaucoma at 18.
>>34350360
I got a 121 on the DLAB, and a 99 on the ASVAB. I switched recruiters halfway through the process though and the new one I had fucked up my paperwork, so I ended up going in as a 2621 instead of a 267x.
>>34353185
I feel ya boi. My gramps had the same, most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Rarely spoke about ww2 in the italian alps, guess it wasnt something to speak to the littlw kid I was back then.
Wish he was here now.
goodnight /k/
98
Tried to join the chairforce when I was 19. Fucko recruiter was full of empty promises. Sat around on DEP until he could get me a decent MOS, even tried to trick me into taking some bullshit assboy job. 12 months waiting and dealing with lies until I told him not to contact me again.
Went to nursing school the next year and now I'm fucking happy with my life.

Am i good enough for the grunts?
welp.... guess thats going to have to be good enough for doing it at the end of an 18 hour day
I made an 85 back in high school.
I think I got a 13 on cars which is a disgrace because my father was an army mechanic for 25+ years.

Texas here. We took it in high school, but I certainly don't think it was required. Most people didn't feel like doing it so they just answered whatever. I actually felt like giving it a shot and scored really high.
I believe it was my junior year. They corralled all the juniors into the cafeteria and they administered the test. I can't recall, but I think we just had a lot of free time because other grade levels were doing -stuff-.
Its an ASVAB test.
If you have to brag about your ASVAB, it means you didn't do that well to begin with. An 8th grader can get a 99 AFQT score.

Working as what, an experimental physicist?
I took it in feb. got a 93. If you graduated high school with at least a B average, theres no reason you should score lower than 70
