The ASVAB is a 9 subject multiple choice test but 3 subjects calculate the “GT” score,. If you’re just enlisting get the book and study all subjects but if you’re already in the military and need a higher GT score study 3 portions of the ASVAB. Word knowledge (vocabulary), Arithmetic reasoning (word problems) and Paragraph comprehension. It’s also a good idea to see if the Education center offers a GT score improvement class that mostly focus on the Arithmetic Reasoning. They will also give you pages and pages of vocabulary words, and you will see all 30 vocabulary words on the test. For paragraph comprehension, just go back into that paragraph and find that multiple choice answer in the story….it’s in there, do it fast, you have about 75 seconds per paragraph . You will retake the entire 9 subject ASVAB. The GT class helped me raise my GT score to 127….Good luck!
@@jovanyoung4236 hey man! All I did was review on practice sites because I had learned all the material in college so I knew I was going to pass I just wanted to get in the top percentile.
I took the ASVAB right after finishing grad school and there was so much stuff on their I hadn't even thought about since high school. Taking practice tests to focus where I spent my study time was a huge help.
30 seconds into the video and you gave a great example of what NOT to do.. brain fart! Definitely common for any test, especially one that can decide your future and even more so for people who suck at taking tests (like myself). Prepare and have confidence. Stop and focus on your breathing if you need to, but again, stay confident and don't second guess yourself.
This was my obstacle. Before I can even go to a unit for try outs I needed to raise my GT score. Did a course and retook the test and now I'm at 126 and raised everything else. Now it's time to train and prepare for try outs.
In 1981, as a senior in high school, the entire senior class was marched into the multi purpose room. They had all the recruiters there and we had to take the ASVAB. There was no difference between branches of service. I liked the USMC uniform and boom, joined right then. This was in the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia, by the way.
I'm right there with you. I took the asvab to join the air force special warfare and long story short didn't make it. Your asvab is only good for 2 years so I am back at stupid study to become a green beret.
I want to say thank you for all of this great info. And a thank you for keeping this in one take without any repetitive cuts or splicing. This is focused, engaging, raw, and real. Positive vibes.
I know man. That’s my hinderance. And most guys say they run a 1230-13 in sfas for the two mile. 6mile is so fast. Yet others say just meet the standard
I had to go take another ASVAB to join SF - - forgot all about it, went out drinking the night before - - rolled in 2 minutes before the start of the test HUNG OVER - - and scored a 158. Go figure.....
Hey buck, I'm a Canadian with a clean criminal record and haven't hit 18 yet. I've always loved America and want to end up an army ranger for the US military. Could you please make a video on joining the us military from outside of the US? Thanks.
like TYRFAN1 said there may be some obstacles in that, BUT nothing that cant be worked through, for you I would consider joining then doing the transfer, at least that way you are in
What is awesome about the army is that a lot of times they will do all the paper work for you. Like I have a duel citizenship but right now the army is working for me to renounce the other citizenship so I can have a clearance. Basically I don't have to do anything and just let the military handle it.
It definitely does fluctuate from time to time. Sometimes it's a 107 GT, 105 GT with a waiver or 110 GT. Yes, Buck is 100% correct though. Just aim for 110 because they can switch the score minimum to 110 at any point making you have to retest anyways. It's better to get it out of the way while you have time as opposed to a year down the line in training. Also, they sell ASVAB flashcards online which help a lot as well. 👍
But your GT score only counts in your Arithmetic and reasoning, Word knowledge, and Paragraph Comprehension, just incase people need to know specifics 💯
I took the practice asvab and got an afqt percentile score of 93. Decided to take the asvab out of the blue so that I could secure a contract and got an afqt percentile score of 87. Casing point is the practice tests don't include questions about pulleys and camshafts.
cheers mate for posting another video, been loving the movie commentary series & those challenge videos - the axe throwing was dope. much love from australia - hope shit is good on your end.
Buck is absolutely correct about not letting the military have full say on where to go while in the recruiting process. If there is a job that you know in your heart of hearts that you want to do, whether it be a Green Beret, a Truck Driver, an Engineer, (Navy Seabee in my case) then do whatever it takes to get the scores needed to qualify. Once you are, make damn sure you get that job secured in your contract. If it's not written down, and signed, chances are it won't happen. Once that's finalized, if you enter the Delayed Entry Program, continue to train, train, train until you finally ship out for basic. And I don't just mean physical training either. Soak up whatever inside knowledge you can from people who have been there, and done it themselves. Not only will this set you up for success, but put you in a position to help others do the same.
I went into a recruiters office and asked for either a 40x Ranger contract or a contract to be 74D and he was like “yeah yeah yeah but do u have a drivers license” cause there many more jobs if you have a drivers license and other jobs he tried to sell me on and I was like no I only consider those to jobs. Too bad there aren’t any Ranger or 74D contracts available. I went and exercised with the group of potential recruits that day it was pretty good mostly long 2 mile jog what it was though and other exercises. But I’ll rather wait a whole year to enlist to apply for a job I really want vs a job that I don’t want that is available right away.
I can't stress this enough, a lot of the ASVAB is mechanical and automotive. The practice tests aren't accurate, my son scored very well on the practice tests. He only got 105 on the GT score. He was sorely lacking on mechanical and automotive. They don't teach shop and automotive in school anymore. Take the test see your weakness and study those areas you are weak in. He retook it again and scored 114. I took it one time and scored 127.
I think you all getting out of college a d want to join should also check out Jack zweig. He was a navy seal and def had the most realistic approach to what you should do to join sf or if you even should make that choice. It's the biggest wake up call your probably ever going to hear.
Have the changed the test? I first took the test in 1983 and got a 125. After 9/11 I joined a NG unit in WV. My first test paperwork was microfiched in New Orleans. Recruiter had me retake the test instead of waiting on the paperwork. It was computerized by then. In 35 minutes I completed the entire test with a 126. Goes to show I never learned anything.
Interesting, didn't knew the US Army had an entrance exam, in my country there are also entrance exams, but it is either pass or fail, if you pass any military job distinction will happen on your formation. But the tests for officers, sergeants and recruits are different. I tried for officer last year but I didn't passed.
Can you make a video about the importance, need and help of interpreters in combat zone, especially in a different zone? Willing join your live and share my experience, and talk about interpreter’s live.
Please listen to buck I was in the same exact boat when I first enlisted and chose an MOS I didn’t want and my GT wasn’t high for a lot of jobs fresh outs high school I completed my first contract got my 5 and deployed and did some fun stuff and met awesome dudes, but now I’m on track finally retook the test and have well over a 110 and am much more mentally mature and physically prepared to finally go to selection.
Some of my classmates were and are in the Army. And they like by the time it gets around to you going to the course you usually up in age with some type of physical Deployment behind you whether peacekeeping ,a war or Conflict. So your body isn't in that fresh on the scene body and Stamina. So just go to Ranger School and be done 😂🍺💙💪
If you have a problem with just the math part get the GED math book because that's were ASVAB get their math question from. Also, the GED MATH IS Better
Some good youtube channel's I used to study was Duran Learning and Grammer Hero. I have been out of school for 13 years, took a practice test to see where I was at, then studied the sections I was lacking using those channels. Ended up with a 116 GT score.
@@AFGixxeR88 I took a practice test at my recruiter's office. The practice test is only four sections( 2 math and 2 English) that is timed about 8 minutes per section with about 14 problems each. After the test, it will give you a score. I then recommend working on whatever sections you had a difficult time with at home or when you have free time at work. I believe you can take that practice test as many times as you want as well but don't quote me on that. Also, if you don't want to feel pressured about the time you have to take the ASVAB (3 hours or so), request to take the PICAT. You have way more time and you can take it at your recruiter's office. You will have to take a verication test when you go into MEPS but it will be only 40 questions and most of the questions are the same exact question that you had on the PICAT, there will be a couple that are not but most will be. But, there is a chance when you go into MEPS to take the verification test, that you will have to take the WHOLE ASVAB test. It is random and the computer decides but still a chance. You will also have to take a personality test of about 175 questions that is timed but is dependent on how preceive yourself and no worng anwser unless you are untruthful to yourself.
@@AFGixxeR88 One last thing, the practice test score it will give you is only up to about 60 and is not an offical GT score. I took two practice tests then took the PICAT and after the PICAT is when I got the offical GT score. But you will have to pass your verification test in order to keep your GT score and if you fail, you will have to take the ASVAB. You can only take the PICAT ONE TIME ONLY, so take it when you are confident.
@@AFGixxeR88 correct, I would also recommend taking a practice test or two at the recruiter's office before taking the PICAT. That will let you know what needs to be worked on (to study more) or not before the PICAT. Even though you may feel like you want to get in as fast as possible, it is best to be able to get the score you want that pertains to the job you want. Ask your recruiter for a list of jobs that their branch offers and ask what GT score is needed for the one you want. That will give you a solid goal to achieve.
Here’s a Free chicken from a soon to be (hopefully after medical) SF enlistee Ask your recruiter to take what’s called the PICAT. It’s an at home ASVAB after you take it, call or text your recruiter for your score. If you are at or above a 110… you go to your nearest MEPS station and take a certification test. (It’s shorter than the PICAT) Now if you get below a 110 GT score you get to take extra time to study, without getting fucked out of SF. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CERTIFY YOUR PICAT EXAM. IF YOU DONT GET 110GT ON YOUR PICAT STUDY YOUR ASS OF AND ASK YOUR RECRUITER TO TAKE THE FULL ASVAB.
Hey buck love the content as always. I am on the email list but don't get anything from the FNG in my email. Just hoping we can get it fixed so I can get your newsletters and shit. Also have a chance to win the giveaways.
I really did fall out of a top bunk during a quick selection training at camp Robinson little Rock Arkansas broke my neck skull an back but its been seeded in my mind that the highest grade on the asvab test is a 99 how can people make above a 99
My first and only time taking the ASVAB my composite scores for the Army specifically, was 107+ across the board. My GT score was 113 which was my highest score. Idk what the average is for any of the scores but I definitely felt good about my performance on the test. Which expires this September so aiming to sign 18x this summer (working on fitness). My question (if you read this), can I have my recruiter put in my contract if I don’t get selected I would be reassigned to Infantry. I just don’t want to be reassigned Combat Photographer or culinary specialist because of the “Needs of the army” 🤣🤣
So if you go 18X you will sign a contract as an 11B, 11C, or 11X (Army chooses which one of the 11 series mentioned you go). If you fail the APFT in OSUT to maintain your 18X contract you will most likely go to a line unit as an 11B or 11C. If you fail the APFT at AT/PC/SFAS (SFAS depends what week) you will get a 6 month or a 2 year to return. 6 month they will keep you at SWC. If you fail you just go to a line unit (82nd/173rd/etc.) You won’t become a cook or needs of the army in the sense that your MOS will change.
@@FNGACADEMY yeah 100% I mean I’m enlisted already though. I don’t know what the qualifications for a civilian going in would be. But it’s 100 GT score, and 80 points minimum in each event for the APFT in the 18-21 age bracket
Good afternoon Sir. Do you only do airborn school in the beginning for SF or do you have to jump multiple times during your SF career to stay qualified?

Took it last week got 92 overall and 127 on the GT securing my 18x after I clear my physical. Super excited!!
Good luck and go live the dream.
Studying to take mine. Can you recommend any good resources to help accomplish a high line and gt score? 🙏
@@jovanyoung4236 hey man! All I did was review on practice sites because I had learned all the material in college so I knew I was going to pass I just wanted to get in the top percentile.
You should’ve learned 85% of the stuff in high school though. I studied chemistry so all the science and math was fairly easy
I got a 93 outta 99 on the ASVAB and I'm goin' 11X option 40, let's goooooo
I took the ASVAB right after finishing grad school and there was so much stuff on their I hadn't even thought about since high school. Taking practice tests to focus where I spent my study time was a huge help.

Hey buck love the content as always. I am on the email list but don't get anything from the FNG in my email. Just hoping we can get it fixed so I can get your newsletters and shit. Also have a chance to win the giveaways.
Enjoy your president's day also big buck!
Check your spam account or promotion account. I’ve only received one email in my main inbox but the rest went into promotions. F’ing Gmail 🤦🏻♂️
keep us posted on that, it's a shame its not going to main account
I took the test and got 100+ on every category. However the kid who went with me at the same time to take the test got less then 60 on all his stuff.
did you study?
@@FNGACADEMY Not really, But the school i go to is like a high end school so i was prepped based on that. XD
also they lowered the GT requirement to 100
I took the ASVAB. My recruiter said I was qualified to be a carnie. 🤡
I really did fall out of a top bunk during a quick selection training at camp Robinson little Rock Arkansas broke my neck skull an back but its been seeded in my mind that the highest grade on the asvab test is a 99 how can people make above a 99
They changed the gt score to 100 or combat score of 105 when I went to sfas
Lol tht commercial tho
lol
Buck, is it possible to become a Green Beret if your marksmanship skills are not the best?
100 gt now
Hey buck, any chance we could get a video on what happens should you wash out of SOCM?
for sure!
Alot of people fear land nav. I think learning a new language is worse
Can't you get a waiver if you miss it by a few points?
Its 105 now....
I got the asvab for dummies 😂
that will do it
I'm an 11b who wants to be SF what are things I need to know
My first and only time taking the ASVAB my composite scores for the Army specifically, was 107+ across the board. My GT score was 113 which was my highest score. Idk what the average is for any of the scores but I definitely felt good about my performance on the test. Which expires this September so aiming to sign 18x this summer (working on fitness). My question (if you read this), can I have my recruiter put in my contract if I don’t get selected I would be reassigned to Infantry. I just don’t want to be reassigned Combat Photographer or culinary specialist because of the “Needs of the army” 🤣🤣
So if you go 18X you will sign a contract as an 11B, 11C, or 11X (Army chooses which one of the 11 series mentioned you go). If you fail the APFT in OSUT to maintain your 18X contract you will most likely go to a line unit as an 11B or 11C. If you fail the APFT at AT/PC/SFAS (SFAS depends what week) you will get a 6 month or a 2 year to return. 6 month they will keep you at SWC. If you fail you just go to a line unit (82nd/173rd/etc.) You won’t become a cook or needs of the army in the sense that your MOS will change.
@@jessclark985 awesome this helps me understand the process a lot more clearly with some peace of mind, thank you my friend!
Can you use a calculator in the maths ASVAB test 😂😂
100k!!!
so stoked!
It’s a 100 GT score now
really?
@@FNGACADEMY yeah 100% I mean I’m enlisted already though. I don’t know what the qualifications for a civilian going in would be. But it’s 100 GT score, and 80 points minimum in each event for the APFT in the 18-21 age bracket
Hey, buck great video just a heads up the score has changed to a 100
cool ill get some updated info asap
So is the GT of 100 for newly recruits going in first time? Or for soldiers that are already in service?
On the army website, it says sf gt score is 100. I’m guessing it recently changed
i think so
Can you get an official score before you sign your contract?
yes you will need it to see what jobs are available to you
Yeah, you take the test at MEPS and get your score right after you walk out
of the room. You cannot sign a contract without a score.
@@FNGACADEMY so if I take the asvab and get a 109, can I retake it before signing the contract? Or once you take it that score is final
Me getting 109 GT
Good afternoon Sir. Do you only do airborn school in the beginning for SF or do you have to jump multiple times during your SF career to stay qualified?
you have to jump in the Q to stay qualified
@@FNGACADEMY thank you Sir!
Victor marx....
What do I ask or do to apply for special forces? Like do I tell the Army recruiter or start off as something else
tell them you want an 18X contract
@@FNGACADEMY Thanks brother 💯
