- The first part is called AFQT (Ability Qualification Test) and it is divided into four items:
- Word Knowledge
- Paragraph Comprehension essay (reading) comprehension
- Arithmetic Reasoning
- Mathematics Knowledge
- The AFQT score is also the ASVAB score. The final score is comprehensively evaluated from the above four scores. The calculation method is unclear. The computer randomly samples from the question bank and proceeds from shallow to deep. If you do the right one, the next question will be more difficult. One question will be a little easier, and it really feels like this during the exam. Unfortunately, I was too rushed to collect relevant information at the time. Otherwise, I can infer whether the previous question was wrong from the difficulty of the next question during the exam. Once the answer is selected, it cannot be changed, even if it can be inferred whether it was done wrong before.
