The updated, complete guide for preparing for the ASVAB, the required entrance exam for all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces
Each year one million people take the ASVAB exam. Sponsored by the Department of Defense, the exam is administered year-round in high schools and at recruiting centers nationwide. ASVAB scores are used to measure aptitude for a variety of careers in the military. They are also used to determine whether or not potential military recruits qualify for enlistment and which military jobs are best for each recruit.
This book includes reviews of all subjects tested, tips and strategies for answering specific question types, sample exams modeled on the real exam, an answer key with complete explanations for every question, and inside information on ASVAB testing, scoring, and pursuing a military career.
