Your AFQT score is determined by combining your scores from four sections of the ASVAB:  \n• Arithmetic Reasoning (AR)  \n• Mathematics Knowledge (MK)  \n• Paragraph Comprehension (PC)  \n• Word Knowledge (WK)  \nSo, what’s the point of the rest of the ASVAB sections? The AFQT score just determines your eligibility to enlist in the military at all. Once you’ve qualified to enlist by achieving a passing AFQT score, your performance on the ASVAB as a whole can help jump-start your military career by increasing the odds of landing the assignment you want.  \n| AFQT Category | Percentile |\n| --- | --- |\n| I | 93-99 |\n| II | 65-92 |\n| IIIA | 50-64 |\n| IIIB | 31-49 |\n| IV | 10-30 |\n| V | 1-9 |\n\nThe AFQT is scored as a percentile between 1 and 99. The reference group that the percentile is based on is a sample of 18-to 23-year-olds who took the ASVAB back in 1997. This means that if your AFQT score is, say, 77, you scored as well as 77% of the 1997 sample group.  \n| Section\u003Cbr>Domain | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| General Science (GS)\u003Cbr>Science/Technical | Physical science and biology |\n| Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) Math | Solving arithmetic word problems |\n| Word Knowledge (WK) Verbal | Understanding the correct meaning of words and their best synonyms presented in context |\n| Paragraph Comprehension (PC) Verbal | Obtaining information from written passages |\n| Math Knowledge (MK) Math | Principles of high school math |\n| Electronics Information (EI) Science/Technical | Electronics and electricity |\n| *Auto Information (AI) Science/Technical | Automobile technology |\n| *Shop Information (SI) Science/Technical | Shop terminology and practices |\n| Mechanical Comprehension (MC) Science/Technical | Physical and mechanical principles |\n| Assembling Objects (AO) Spatial | Determining the look of an object once its parts are assembled |\n\n*The AI and SI sections are administered as separate sections on the CAT-ASVAB, while the P&P-ASVAB combines the AI and SI into one section. In both cases, their scores are combined into a single “AS”score.  \n1  \nArmy Jobs (MOS)  \nIf you are considering joining the US Army, you can rest assured that there is a Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) that meets your skill set and interests.
