Читать книгу 2022 / 2023 ASVAB For Dummies - Angie Papple Johnston - Страница 37

When you sit down with your recruiter or military career counselor at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) to discuss your ASVAB scores and what you qualify for, you may think they suddenly decided to speak in a foreign language. For job-qualification purposes, remember three key terms and their definitions:

 AFQT score: Calculated from the math and English subtests of the ASVAB, the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) score is used by the military to determine overall enlistment qualification. Chapter 1 explains exactly how this critical score is computed.

 Line score: A line score combines various standard scores and is used by the services for job qualification purposes.

 Standard score: A standard score refers to individual ASVAB subtest scores (that is, Verbal Expression, Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, and so on).
