Study Notes

ASVAB Prep Guide

This guide is designed to prepare students for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) exam.
It covers various test sections, including General Science, Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, Electronics Information, Auto and Shop Information, Mechanical Comprehension, and Assembling Objects.
It includes practice questions with answer keys in each section to help students review and hone their skills.
The guide specifically addresses both computer-based (CAT-ASVAB) and paper-based (P&P-ASVAB) versions of the exam.

ASVAB Sections

General Science: Focuses on fundamental scientific concepts, including the function of GPS, energy types, pH levels, photosynthesis, sonar technology, atmospheric gases, planets, and energy generation.
Arithmetic Reasoning: Includes problem-solving questions focusing on calculation, speed, rates, measurement of areas, units of time, and solving for unknown variables.
Word Knowledge: Examines vocabulary and understanding of words and their meanings (synonyms, definitions). Includes key terms related to military and technical concepts.
Paragraph Comprehension: Evaluates comprehension of provided passages with corresponding questions.
Mathematics Knowledge: Covers basic mathematical skills needed to solve problems (algebra, geometry).
Electronics Information: Deals with electronics components, their functions, units, and processes (e.g., voltage, current, resistance, circuit components).
Auto and Shop Information: Tests knowledge of common tools, parts in vehicles, and basic mechanical concepts found in automotive repair and construction.
Mechanical Comprehension: Focuses on mechanical principles and systems, including levers, gears, hydraulics, and engine functions.
