Sample question
Two angles are supplementary and one measures 110 degrees. What is the other?
110°?
20 degrees
70 degrees
Why:

Angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees, so the other one is 180 − 110 = 70.

80 degrees
250 degrees
Explained answersAll four parts that countTimed practice exam

Yes — this is ASVAB practice. Here is exactly what it covers.

The ASVAB is one test made of ten short parts. Four of those parts are added together into a score called the AFQT, and the AFQT is the number checked first: it decides whether you can enlist at all. This site drills those four.

The four parts here
Arithmetic reasoning, word knowledge, paragraph comprehension and math knowledge. Together they make your AFQT score.
The six parts that are not
Science, electronics, auto, shop, mechanical and assembling objects. They affect the job you are offered, not whether you are accepted.
Do you need those six?
Only if you are enlisting for a particular job — then ask a recruiter which ones it uses.

New to all this? All ten parts in plain English, or why this site exists.

Why it matters

Nine minutes for fifteen words

Word knowledge on the computer form is fifteen questions in nine minutes — about thirty-five seconds each. There is nothing to work out: either the word is familiar or it is not, and hesitating costs the questions that follow. Paragraph comprehension is the opposite problem, ten questions with twenty-seven minutes to read for them.

That is why practice has to be timed to be worth anything. Knowing the material and finishing the section are two different skills, and only one of them improves by reading more.

What you're buying

Built for this exam, explained in plain English

Every practice question is written in-house and modeled after the four official ASVAB AFQT content areas. Each question includes a clear, plain-English explanation to help you understand the material — not just memorize the answer.

Your 30 days start the day you buy, not the day you sit the test. If your date is already booked, 30-Day Access is all you need. Lifetime has no clock and is $10 more — worth it only if a retest is possible, and after a first attempt the wait is a calendar month.

How many questions, and how long you get

Each part is timed on its own, and the clock does not carry over. The big number is how many questions that part has. The time beside it is all you get for them.

Arithmetic Reasoning · 55 minutes

Word Knowledge · 9 minutes

Paragraph Comprehension · 27 minutes

Mathematics Knowledge · 31 minutes

Our timed exam has the same four counts — 55 questions — but one two-hour clock instead of four separate ones. It also does not change with you: the real computer test makes questions harder or easier as you answer, and ours does not.

How to use it

Three steps to a better practice score

Most people lose arithmetic reasoning points to the clock and vocabulary points to words they have never met. Work in that order.

1
Find your weak part
Take the free test and look at the four scores one by one, not the total. One is usually well behind.
2
Work on that one
Go through it in the study guide, where every question comes with the answer and why.
3
Then take the timed exam
55 questions, two hours, no help until the end. Repeat until you hit your own target.
FAQ

Common questions

What is the AFQT?
The AFQT score is computed from the standard scores of four ASVAB subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension and Word Knowledge. It is reported as a percentile from 1 to 99 and is used to determine eligibility to enlist. The Department of Defense does not publish the formula, so nobody outside it can convert a practice result into an AFQT score.
Is there a passing score on the ASVAB?
The ASVAB is not a pass/fail test. The AFQT is a percentile showing how you did against a reference group, and each service decides what it will accept. Our timed exam therefore has no pass mark: you set your own target with a slider before you start.
How many questions are on the CAT-ASVAB AFQT subtests?
On the computer form the four AFQT subtests are 15 scored questions in 55 minutes for Arithmetic Reasoning, 15 in 9 minutes for Word Knowledge, 10 in 27 minutes for Paragraph Comprehension, and 15 in 31 minutes for Mathematics Knowledge.
Are these the real ASVAB questions?
No, and anyone selling "real" ASVAB questions is selling you a problem — the ASVAB program publishes a disclaimer about exactly that. These are original practice questions written in the format of the official sample questions.
How soon can I retake the ASVAB?
You must wait one calendar month after your first test, one more calendar month after the second, and six calendar months for any test after that.
How long do my scores last?
Scores may be used for enlistment for up to two years from the date of testing.
Does this cover the whole ASVAB?
No. It covers the four subtests the AFQT is computed from — the score that decides whether you can enlist. The other six subtests, which feed the line scores used for job qualification, are not in this bank.
Is the simulation adaptive like the real CAT-ASVAB?
No. The computer form adapts its questions to the person taking it; ours does not. What it copies is the number of questions per subtest and a full-length clock, so the pace is familiar before it counts.
