"It's important to know what the minimum scores required in each section are, so you can work on the areas you might need a little help on,'' said Kris Michaelson, director of content for Peterson's Test Prep, a leading test prep provider. "You may ace one section but fail another, and that may limit the career paths the recruiter will consider for you.''

In addition, your scores on the other ASVAB composite tests will determine your career field or military occupation eligibility. Since enlistment bonuses usually are tied to your choice of occupations, the better the score, the more opportunities you have. It is impossible, though, to "ace" the ASVAB, so your goal should be simply to do your best.
