ASVAB Math Prep in Victorville: How to Raise Your AFQT Score

Planning to join the military from Victorville or the High Desert? Your ASVAB score decides whether you qualify and which jobs you can choose. The good news: the math sections improve quickly with the right practice.

Which ASVAB scores matter most

Your AFQT score, the one that decides whether you can enlist, comes from four sections: Arithmetic Reasoning, Math Knowledge, Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension. Two of the four are math, so math prep pays off twice.

Arithmetic Reasoning: word problems

These are everyday math word problems: percents, rates, ratios, averages and simple interest. Most mistakes come from reading too fast, not from hard math.

• Underline what the question actually asks

• Write the numbers down before solving

• Estimate first so you can spot a wrong answer

• Practice timed sets, not only untimed homework

Math Knowledge: algebra and geometry

This section tests rules you learned in school: solving equations, exponents, factoring, area, perimeter, angles and the Pythagorean theorem. If it has been a few years since high school, a short review brings it back fast.

A simple 4-week plan

• Week 1: take a practice test and find your weak topics

• Week 2: review fractions, percents and ratios

• Week 3: review algebra and geometry rules

• Week 4: take timed practice tests and study every mistake
