Test Instructions
This pretest is used to assess your potential for success on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). It cannot be used for entrance into the Military. It is simply a self assessment tool.
This test is comprised of 27 questions, and is divided into three parts.
Part 1: Vocabulary - 12 Questions
Part 2: Arithmetic Reasoning - 9 Questions
Part 3: Paragraph Comprehension - 6 Questions
This test should take approximately 20 minutes, and we recommend using a pencil and scratch paper for the arithmetic reasoning section.
