ASVAB For Dummies, Premier Plus (with Free Online Practice Tests)

I took this test a fewweeks ago and thinking of joining the military at an older age specifically the USAF. I did alot of research and stumbled upon the asvab and figured "Hey this will be a piece of cake, no sweat" oh boy was i in for a rude awakening. I remember speaking with the recruiter for a few minutes when i got hit with the inevitable "so let's take this practice asvab test" i heard there was a practice and once again underestimated it by not even studying, i took it and remember goin "sh!t......i thought this was gonna be easy" i came out with a 51. I didn't know what this score meant but in school terms a 50 was failing apparentely and my recruiter wasnt too interested in me and told me to go study.So i picked up this book after reading many great things about it on the internet and i can say it's a really good book, but there are some things you need to know about this book before buying it. First off, you may be better off getting the new 2015 version of this book by the good ol' Rod Powers, i actually wanted to wait for it to release but i couldn't no more. Anyway, this book is EXCELLENT for boosting your AFQT score, your afqt score consists of wordknowledge, math, arithemetic reasoning and paragraph comprehension, when people ask what you made on the ASVAB, the AFQT score is what their usually asking about.Alot of old knowledge started coming back using this book, the online extension was a beautiful addition because my math and arithemetic definately needed work. The book isn't super big either to cover these and gives some great examples on breaking down the steps for math and arithmetic. And everything in this book i saw on the real asvab, and if it wasn't on the asvab, it was in this book. Factoring, exponents, all that.Now as far as the other subjects, mechanical, science, etc. I didn't really see alot of the information about those subjects in this book on the real thing, i was a bit turned off on that, but with the benefit of the doubt. It could be because this book isn't the new 2015 version or the questions were just too broad in each subject. It's really hard to break down 4 or 5 different areas of science into 18-25 questions, so it's useful, but nearly impossible to know all/majority of the questions on here unless your just a great science, mechanical, or auto & shop wiz.If your reading this about to take this, i'd recommend this book, but don't expect it to cover everything if anything on the other non-afqt subjects and work a miracle for you. It will help though, my score was boosted by over 30 points using this book and at the end of the day i'm content. My line scores were good (not great by any means) simply because of using selective reasoning and life experience towards each question i didn't know.

I recently purchased this book due to the fact that I would be taking the ASVAB soon, as most of the other purchasers as did. However, I was a little hesitant to buy because some other reviewers stated that the information was slightly dated, and didn't apply to today's military. I can just say that I read the book, not only found the information to be relevant, but also very important and modern even for today's future military leaders. And the fact that in includes a disc filled with online tests-which is how the ASVAB is mainly given today- helps the reader to get used to computerized tests and the testing material. It covers subjects that main of us either didn't pay enough attention in, or forgot as soon as we left high school. Originally, I was slightly confused on how the entire process worked, but I can tell you that through the help of this great instructive guide and my recruiter, I was more reassured and confident in my scores and my future career. If you purchase this book, you won't regret it.

I checked this out from my library a few months back and studied over it everyday for about a week. I took the practice tests in the back (before I studied and after) and my scores definitely increased. It breaks everything down in such a understandable way where it was simpler than learning it in High School.I checked out so many ASVAB books from the library and this is by far the best. If you are going to invest in one, let it be this. The online access is also very helpful! It shows you where you need work in and it reviews your mistakes. The CD is even a bonus. I really love the Dummies series when it comes to learning :)

The first time I took the ASVAB I didn't study and I scored a 48. I was going to enlist in the army but decided not too. A couple of months later I decided I wanted to join the Air Force. You have to score a 50 or higher. I studied everyday with this book and I scored a 66 last week after 2 weeks of studying. Yesterday I got sworn into the DEP for the Air Force. I highly recommend this book.

So far this book is great, i think in my personal opinion that it's a really good reliable book to study, i am studying to go into the military and i need a backup of information into my head, therefore im liking the ASVAB for dummies book.

I'm prior service going 18x. I needed to improve my old score by 3 points on my gt. I had a 104 I needed a 107. Because I studied my heart out with this book. I jumped from a 104 to a 109. It has everything you need in it and the computer are so much like the real thing it's awesome. I highly recommend it.
