Any tips would be great, I've been reading through an ASVAB study book which seems to be helping.

On the evening of the seventh day the Lord looked over His creation and saw that it was good. He said, Let there be a breed of great warriors to protect the people from evil. They shall ride beasts of iron and steel and speak with breaths of fire and destruction. They shall be feared by all that is evil. The people shall call these warriors who are masters of their beasts

It's a little thing called being homeschooled. All homeschoolers HAVE to score 50 or better, and if you don't, you can't get it weivered or anything. It's 50 or no enlistment. That's only if you don't have any kind of college degree though I'm pretty sure...
Anyone have more info on this? All I know is what Homeschool Legal Defence told me.

Yeah, it's the same for people with a GED, has to be a 50 or above. But I'm sure you will do fine. You've been preparing for it and you've taken the practice test. Just keep studying and do what you are doing until it's time. And make sure you get a good night's sleep the night before. I think you'll be fine.
This might sound stupid, but get a good nights rest and if you normally eat breakfast make sure to eat one the day of the ASVAB. For the math section make sure you read the question carefully, I remember almost missing two questions because I didn't read the question right. Also, hope you get to take the computer version.
I also reccomend looking at ASVAB study guides. I'm a senior in College and I definately had forgotten some things. The review sections helped out alot. With a little study time and a rested body you should do well. I scored a 98 overall.

Doesn't sound stupid at all! I'll be sure to remember this.

Looks to me like you are already well prepared. I'm sure you'll do well. As long as you are familiar with the type of questions on the test you are good to go.

Well nitro a bit of a reality check here for ya. Almost all the MOSs you posted or commisioned officers. If you do intially come in a comiisioned officer you do not pick your MOS. You put a dream sheet of your top 10 Branches,not MOSs, if you are a male 5 of those have to be combat arms. If female one of your top 3 has to be engineer. The enlisted MOSs you listed are diver, watercraft operator and maybe MP. If you meant MP then that might be doable if you qualify. Also the Army has been looking for divers lately and a guy from my office just got diver 2 weeks ago. That is a true picture of what the trends are right now for what you listed.

i took the asvab back in october on the computer. it wasnt hard at all man. if you can pass any highschool level class and you havent been out of school for more than like 2 years it'll be a breeze. one piece of advice i was given for taking it on the computer is to get every practice question wrong. there are like 3 different versions of the test that can be given on the computer and you'll get an easier version if you screw the practice section up. unfortunatly i thought the practice was the real test so i got them all correct and my recruiter told me later that i had the hardest version of the test. anyway good luck man.

So I spoke with my recruiter today, and he said I would be taking the written exam.
Now, how does the scoring work? I know they only count the ones you get right, but how do they add up and all that?

I'll be leaving my house at 1030 for a 2 hour drive to camp rileah(???) and then take the ASVAB at around 1300.
I'll post when I get home how I did.

Well, so I didn't do great...not at all really. 33percent. I will get my linescores in a day or two, then I'll figure out if I need to retake it or not at MEPS. If my linescores and GT score is crap though, I'm retakin it.
I'm pissed.
