Gct

[froghead1]

Just wondering if anyone knows what the GCT (General Classification Test) we took at the beginning of TBS was for and what your score means.

Nothing (part of the harrasment package I presume)... no one knows

Rumor has it that it USED to be for determining which MOS's you could receive. That's why the Army Radio Score (or whatever the hell it's called) is on there. I think that there might still be some form of GCT requirements for certain enlisted MOS's, but I could just be talking out of my ass, which is known to happen from time to time. I'm pretty sure that it's just carryover from the days when enlisted folks not in possession of a high school diploma or a GED, though. We'd have to ask Brett to be sure, though.

The objective of initial classification processing is to identify an individual's military potential and to make an initial assignment in consonance with manpower requirements.

Classification tests are to be administered under the following circumstances:
(a) To meet the prerequisites for assignment to formal schools, special duty assignments, and retraining in other occupational specialties.

General Classification Test (GCT). The GCT is administered in place of the ASVAB/AFCT for all commissioned and warrant officers and will be administered at The Basic School or as an in-service retest; scores are used to measure mental-abilities.
