ASVAB Score Requirements

Hey! I'm preparing for the ASVAB and wondering which military branch has the highest score requirements? I want to make sure I'm aiming high enough in my prep!

Each branch of the U.S. military has different minimum ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) scores required for enlistment. Here's a brief overview:

1. Air Force: The Air Force has the highest minimum AFQT score (which is a composite score of four ASVAB subtests) of 36 for high school diploma holders and 65 for GED holders.

2. Navy: The Navy requires a minimum AFQT score of 35 for high school diploma holders and 50 for GED holders.

3. Marine Corps: The Marine Corps requires a minimum AFQT score of 32 for high school diploma holders and 50 for GED holders.

4. Army: The Army requires a minimum AFQT score of 31 for high school diploma holders and 50 for GED holders.

5. Coast Guard: The Coast Guard also requires a fairly high minimum AFQT score of 40 for high school diploma holders. For GED holders, the requirement is usually higher, around 50.

6. Space Force: As of now, the Space Force recruits from within the Air Force, therefore the same requirements, an AFQT score of 36 for diploma holders, would apply.

So, if your goal is to get into the branch with the highest requirements, aim for an AFQT score higher than 36, which is the minimum for the Air Force. But remember, a higher score will further open up opportunities for more specialized jobs within any branch, so aiming high regardless of your preferred branch is a good strategy. Good luck with your prep!
