Practice asvab harder than real one?
Regardless, the mechanical comprehension, electronics, and science sections are hard. You need to take practice sections until you can ace each section comfortably within the given time frame. Edit: Many say the practice tests are harder, but it is relative to what kind of percentile you'd be going into. I think the CAT-ASVAB would be more friendly to get getting into a 95+ percentile since it branches out into more difficult tiers, while the paper/practice ones will knock percentile points for each incorrect answer. As far as people saying the ASVAB isn't difficult and doesn't require study, I bet these people weren't in the high 90th percentile. It's easy to get an "ok" score, but not easy to be at the top of the bell curve. Think about it, your score is how much better you did than everyone else. How can that be easy??? Anyone who says a bell curve test is easy is bragging and/or not thinking clearly.
Is the practice Asvab harder than the real Asvab?
Reasonably speaking the real deal can be harder, Primarily due to nervousness. but as long as you study (usual same level difficulty) and talk with your recruiter you will do fine.
Is the practice ASVAB harder then the real ASVAB?
The practice is similar to the real one. Just make sure you focus on the main 4 parts. The ASVAB For Dummies is a really good book. Relax & don't panic. You'll do fine. Good luck!
Is the AFOQT somewhat like the ASVAB?
Its more like the SAT and ACT. Its not like the ASVAB. ARCO makes a good study guide and Peterson has an online practice test (very, very accurate indicator of how well you will do on the actual test). Are you looking at OTS or ROTC? EDIT: You are correct: This year's OTS board picked up 177 people. 33 of whom were enlisted. That means that 144 people were "off the street." You might consider working on another degree to include your Master's to work the ROTC angle. We have a "split option" to speed up the process, that may or may not work for you. We commission 98% of our graduates. 2nd EDIT: We actually shut off the Blue to Green program - only 8 people signed up for it. It wasn't cost effective and now, surprise, surprise, we are building (AF) back up again. EDIT: You sure can work on your master's while pursing ROTC. . . I have two cadets doing that now.
I m having a very hard time with the ASVAB.?
Hello there. I have taken the ASVAB 3 times now. It s been very irritating to see that I can t pass a test that everyone seems to have no problem with. I have been training to join the Navy and attend BUD/s. Physical and mental aptitude is where my strong points are; not so much with acedemics. It seems like every time I take a practice test or inactually take the real ASVAB; a new piece of criteria pops out of no where. I have studied and I even paid to have access to Asvaber.Com. I have a few months to get ready to take the ASVAB again. Can someone please tell me the best plan to get myself ready for this test so I can qualify for a SEAL contract? Your help is very much appreciated.
Are the asvabs for the air force hard?
i met up with my recruiter a few weeks ago, i took the pre-test of the asvab and failed the math (ran out of time) and the word knowledge by a few points (words i never even heard before), i passed the paragraph and the arithmitic sections. i bought the asvabs for dummies, and this huge book is getting me nervous. i'm horrible at math and at these timed tests, i'm just curious how difficult the actual test is? i want to be a security forces officer, someone i know said i don't need to score that high to hopefully get this job. are there any tips to help me study for it? i don't want to get a low score and end up being stuck with a job that'll make me miserable. all the help and info are much appreciated, thank you!
Navy OAR exam vs ASVAB?
Here is another route, try R.O.T.C. at your local college, you will have to commit after your second year, But you will be an officer, and you can choose to go active if you want. just stay out of trouble
ASVAB and ASTB question?
The ASTB is way different and (in my opinion) harder. There are three sections that make up your OAR (the officer equivalent of the AFQT). These sections are math, reading comprehension, and mechanical comprehension. Math is basically the same as the ASVAB and reading comprehension isn't bad. Mechanical comprehension probably has equivalent sections on the ASVAB (I don't really remember), but those sections don't count in your AFQT. Brush up on your physics -- things like force, pressure, electrical circuits, etc. There are three other sections that may be required for some jobs, or that can just help your application if you score well. They are Spatial Apperception, Aviation and Nautical Information, and Aviation Supplemental. Those aren't hard persay, but if you have no aviation or nautical background, you will need to study up on terminology, history, and the basics of flight. That stuff was fun. This site (http://www.navy-officer.com/astb.html ) has links to a lot of very helpful study guides and gouges to test your knowledge and see where you need the most work. You can also look for tips in the forums at http://www.usnavyocs.com/ and http://www.airwarriors.com/. You can get a study guide -- ask your recruiter for a recommendation, because the guide I had prepared me for a mechanical comprehension section that was not like the one on the test. The test itself is computerized, and you get a pencil and paper for scratch paper. The three sections for the OAR take 1.5 hours, the whole test is 3. Budget your time well -- I ran the clock out on every section, and I normally don't do that on tests. You get your score immediately like on the ASVAB - I'm told anything over a 50 is pretty good. Make sure you're ready to take the test -- you can only take the ASTB three times in your life. Good luck!
Would you learn Chinese if it was written in Latin Alphabet?
As a native English speaker, any aid to learning Chinese would be appreciated.That said, I know enough about the Chinese language to know that though I can learn the language phonetically, if there was a consistent transliteration system that included tones and other indicators that English does not use (at least to the same extent), I also know I would be better off learning to read Chinese in Chinese.While any speaker of a Chinese dialect could teach me their dialect, the only way to be sure of communicating well in Chinese is to learn to read and write in Chinese.Many of the dialects have diverged so much, that the written language is all that makes them mutually understandable.Removing the context and history of the language that is built into the Chinese system allows too much meaning to be lost.Also, within limits, the printed language has not changed in China for thousands of years, if you learn to read Chinese, millennia of works are opened to you.Way back when I was in high school, taking all the tests that you do your senior year, I took the ASVAB, the “armed services vocational aptitude battery” tests, and they gave me flying colors on language aptitude.They classed languages into difficulties of A, B, and C.German is an “A”, as is French… languages similar enough to English, and using the same alphabet to write.If I recall correctly, Russian and Arabic were class B, where you also had to learn a new alphabet, and the languages were less similar.Class C was for languages like Japanese, and Chinese, highly inflected languages that not only use a different “alphabet”, but a whole different system.I could have chosen to learn my choice of Russian or Chinese, if I had passed my military physical. (My eyes are too bad.)I would have loved to learn Chinese then, but I am afraid my brain is not as plastic as it was then, and it would be too hard a task, now.
