Can anyone give any insight on the ASVAB. How does it compare to the ASTB. I scored 4/4/6 on the ASTB but due to horrible scores on the ACT I get to take the ASVAB. No caculators, correct?? I am getting closer in the application process for PLC combined for next summer...this is one more step. Thanks a bunch. And good luck to everyone!

There are multitudes of ASVAB study guides at your local book stores. Information on this test is much more widely available compared to the ASTB. I suggest you hit your local B&N or Borders or the like, head for the reference section, and look for the books with ASVAB painted on the sides.

I'd put money on the fact that those guides will be a better help too than some of the commercial ASTB study guides, since far more people take the ASVAB.

Good luck!

I just took the ASVAB for my application into the Naval Reserves. I studied the ARCO guide, which you can download for free and it was right on the money, so definitely study that one, I can't say anything else about the others.

Yeah I had ctrapy and had to take the asvab. It is alot easier than the the horid ASTB which I think is the hardest test there is. Get the ARCO ASVAB guide and one from your OSO and you will do great, but you did ok on the astb so you should do well.

Correct no calculators, just like the ASTB. The ASVAB does have quite a few sections that don't show up on the ASTB, but overall I felt that it was a much easier exam. I would not suggest purchasing the study guides because your local library should have more than enough copies for checkout. That goes for the ASTB also. I did end up purchasing one of those guides, but looking back I would have been just as prepared had I simply kept checking them out of the library.

Yeah, don't buy one...either get it from the library, online (04Hopeful should post the download website for you), or just go to Borders/B & N/wherever and get some coffee and study it there. Save the money...or if you must buy it, then check out Half Price Books (they have a website).

The download site is from a previous post here, but I will just post here for everyone else also.

The only drawback I see is that you can't print the pages.
