Har har.

I forgot what I got, but it was over 100. I think the highest you can get is like 130. Man this was years ago, heh

The hardest part was probably mechanics. They show you parts of a car, and you have to name them, multiple choice. There was only a few tho.

A) In the car

Thats the thing. Its NOT watered down. That is the test. That's about as hard as it gets.

{1CAB}ThiRTeeN · 02-03-2003, 01:58 AM

Other guys here were saying that the test was much harder then those questions. Oh well, all you have to learn to do is use big toys to kill ppl. That is what the army is for right?

FOUR guys said its hard - of who we know Miller and Green (if they voted) are one of them -

FOURTEEN dont seem to have sweated ANY during it.

Mr. Special Ed, you say some guys in your platoon got point wavers. Out of curiosity, I have a few questions:

What's your MOS?

Are you NG, Reserve or Active?

Where are you stationed?

One more bit for those wondering about the ASVAB. It's not really a test to determine whether you get INTO the military. It's more of a test to determine WHAT you are eligible to do in the military. For example, the MOS 11B (Basic Infantry), is open to everyone, whereas the MOS 19D (Cavalry Scout), requires a higher score.

It was intelligence, but fuck if I can remember what the official but I know the test for it was fucking difficult and I did not pass it the first time, and barely did second time around. And this wasnt even IN the school.

[quote:ae4b3]Are you NG, Reserve or Active?[/quote:ae4b3]

Neither.

[quote:ae4b3]Where are you stationed?[/quote:ae4b3]

Nowhere.

Any other questions?

I believe you are confusing things. I took BOTH the ASVAB and another test whos name escapes me. One was required to get in. I dont know ONE PERSON who did not take the ASVAB.

Slaggg · 02-03-2003, 12:04 PM

no not confusing anything. Of course they're required, but the DoD uses your ASVAB score to determine what you're eligible for. In other words, you can fail miserably and still get in, hence the point waivers mentioned.

Intelligence huh? You must've taken that language test, the 3 hour test, listening to that guy babble in that made-up language. I passed it, barely.

Fuck you its commen sense!

Parts like mechanical and eletrical parts were a fucking breeze, now that was commen sense, but that part with math and science was hard, and I don't care how smart you are, you're not going to pop the answer in your head in less then 10 sec.
