Here’s what matters though. You only have 8 minutes to complete all 16 questions. Do the math, and that’s just 30 seconds per question. No worries though! Using the following strategies, you’ll have more than enough time to complete all 16 questions. Three Steps to Learning Any New Word: Definition (Can I define it?) Synonyms (Do I know any other words that mean the same thing?) Sentences (Can I use it in MULTIPLE sentences?) When it comes to learning new words, a lot of people try to memorize a list of common ASVAB words and their definitions but don’t really understand what those words mean. That’s because if you are not actually using the words that you want to learn, you probably won't remember them after a couple of days. Following this strategy will help you avoid memorizing and forgetting words you want to know for the test. Again, it's: Definition (Can I define it?)Synonyms (Do I know any other words that mean the same thing?) Sentences (Can I use it in MULTIPLE sentences?) Check out our ASVAB Quizlet sets on Word Knowledge below for practice. Of course, when it comes to actually taking the Word Knowledge subtest, you are most likely not going to know all those words you encounter. That's ok! This is where guessing strategies come in and you’ll have to recognize prefixes, and suffixes of your ASVAB practice words. For that, check out our Quizlet covering ASVAB Prefixes and Suffixes below. Two words: COMMON WORDS The best practice words are common words. What are common words?Common words are not words that “everybody should know.” Instead, the common words you’ll want to use for your ASVAB word knowledge practice are common words in everyday English culture. They are words that sound familiar as you may have heard them while watching the news or reading a book, but you may not actually be able to define that word or use it in your own sentence. Those are the types of words you should be focusing on: common words.We’ve put together our own list of common ASVAB words for you to study using our Word Knowledge ASVAB Quizlet set below. We also recommend you download a free app for extra word knowledge practice: Vocabulary Builder by Magoosh(Available both in the App Store and Google Play Store) The app logo looks like this: Looking for practice questions for the word knowledge?

Let's try another one: Caution most nearly means (A) signals, (B) care, (C) traffic, or (D) haste. The hardest part is probably the option (D) \"haste\" . So, let's put it aside for now. Remember tip 3: Eliminate obviously incorrect answers. We can rule out (A) \"signals\" because it doesn't make sense for a caution synonym/definition. Similarly, we can eliminate (C) \"traffic\" since they're not the  \nsame thing. Caution most nearly means (A) signals, (B) care, (C) traffic, or (D) haste. We're left with 50% chance of getting it right. By using logic, we can see that caution and care are closely related, so the correct answer is (B) \"care\" .  \nAsvab vocabulary list pdf.
