Product Description
If you want to get into the military, you have to take the Armed Services Vocational Battery (ASVAB). Anyone eligible for military service can take the ASVAB, so you can also use the ASVAB for other purposes, such as finding out what you’re good at, in case you want to attend vocational school or college. In addition, you can also use the test to help you better understand your skills, for when you enter the job market. And the best thing is, it absolutely free. And while the ASVAB may not be rocket science, it can be very tricky and you don’t want to tackle it without some help.

  • Guidance on which tests are important to your military career
  • Study techniques that will give you a competitive edged
  • Tips on how to compute yours scores

4 out of 5 stars ASVAB for Dummies   July 10, 2008
James Lewis (Mesa, AZ)
This book was recommended by a Navy recruited when attending our high school. Said it contained better information than what we had on hand in the school library.


5 out of 5 stars Definatly Helpful book, a good guide if you are going into the asvab blind.   July 7, 2008
Christopher Jankowiak
I bought this book n a whim hoping it would raise my chance to pass the the ASVAB. I scored a 86 on my AFQT.

This book tells you how the process works, what sections you need to study to get what jobs, also basic recruiting info for all of the branches.

I highly recommend visiting the authors website [...] for further information on anything military.

Jennifer Leach (Tyler, Tx)
This book was very helpful in letting us know about the ASVAB. It showed us how to get a better AFQT score as well as what areas we needed to score higher in to get the job we wanted. It was very easy to use and the practice tests were so helpful. My husband past the test and got the job area he wanted. It also prepared him for what the test day was like and gave him clues on how to stay at ease and help his knowledge be better used. We were in a hurry to study up and it was quick and to the point. I will probably look at other dummies books for other helps.




1 out of 5 stars FULL OF MISTAKES!!!!   February 29, 2008

This book is great for people whom already have well developed, basic math skills and are just looking for a refresher to familiarize them with what they might run across on the ASVAB. You need to already have good math skills because the math, science, electronics, and physics portions of this book are FILLED with basic, arithmetic errors (elementary school level addition and subtraction and middle school level factoring). Don't expect to learn anything from this book. If you need to brush up on math for the ASVAB, I would suggest a different publisher.
