ASVAB AFQT Practice Test (AR, WK, PC, MK): a 220-question practice bank for the real Military Entrance (ASVAB) standard, 4 full papers of 55 questions each with no repeats, every question written to the published CAT-ASVAB subtest format.
Every question in this bank cites a real source -- primarily CAT-ASVAB Word Knowledge (27%) and CAT-ASVAB Mathematics Knowledge (27%) of this exam's citations.
Correct answer: A. weak
Correct. Faint means barely perceptible, so weak is the best fit.
Correct answer: D. partial refund
Correct. A rebate is a partial return of money paid, so partial refund is the best fit.
Correct answer: D. resist
Correct. Withstand means to remain undamaged by, so resist is the best fit.
Correct answer: D. dreary
Correct. Drab means lacking brightness or interest, so dreary is the best fit.
Correct answer: D. postpone
Correct. Defer means to put off to a later time, so postpone is the best fit.
Four fixed-length papers of 55 questions, each built from the four subtests that make up the AFQT and ordered the way the CAT-ASVAB orders them: Arithmetic Reasoning (15 questions), Word Knowledge (15), Paragraph Comprehension (10) and Mathematics Knowledge (15). Those are the scored question counts on the CAT-ASVAB, and the subtest time limits there are 55, 9, 27 and 31 minutes, a total of 122 minutes. No calculator is allowed on the ASVAB, so every arithmetic and math question here is written to be worked by hand.
These are fixed-length papers. The real CAT-ASVAB is adaptive: it starts each subtest at medium difficulty and gives you a harder question after a correct answer and an easier one after a wrong answer, and you cannot go back to change an answer once you move on. A fixed paper cannot do that, so treat this as content and timing practice, not as a simulation of the adaptive engine. About 70 percent of applicants test on the computer version; the paper-and-pencil form used at some MET sites has more questions per subtest (30, 35, 15 and 25) and is a fixed form.
The AFQT score is computed from four subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC) and Word Knowledge (WK). WK and PC are first combined into a Verbal score (VE), and the composite is 2VE + AR + MK, so the verbal side counts twice. The result is reported as a percentile from 1 to 99 against a national sample of 18 to 23 year olds, grouped into categories I (93 to 99), II (65 to 92), IIIA (50 to 64), IIIB (31 to 49), IVA (21 to 30), IVB (16 to 20), IVC (10 to 15) and V (1 to 9). The Department of Defense does not publish the conversion table, so no site can turn a practice score into an AFQT percentile. Your results here are percent correct per subtest and nothing more.
Each service sets its own minimum and there is no pass mark on the test itself. The figures below are as printed on the service's recruiting site on 2026-09-13; your recruiter has the current figure.
| Service | Printed minimum AFQT | Note | Read from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Army | 31 | A score of 21 opens the academic track of the Future Soldier Preparatory Course. | goarmy.com |
| Navy | Not printed as a number | The site says "a qualifying score" and notes that some jobs require minimum scores. | navy.com |
| Air Force | 31 with a high school diploma, 50 with a GED | Printed as minimum AFQT overall scores. | airforce.com |
| Marine Corps | 31, or 50 with a GED or nontraditional diploma | marines.com | |
| Coast Guard | 32 | No GED split printed. | gocoastguard.com |
| Space Force | Not printed as a single number | The site says "a qualifying ASVAB score"; career pages print per-job composite minimums instead. | spaceforce.com |
After a first ASVAB you wait one calendar month to retest, another month before a second retest, and six months between any later retests. A gain of 20 or more AFQT points within six months triggers a confirmation test. Scores can be used for enlistment for up to two years from the test date. The test is scheduled through a recruiter; officialasvab.com prints no fee. The PiCAT is the same test taken online at home without a proctor, using a code from your recruiter that expires 30 days after issue; once started it must be finished within 48 hours, it can be taken only once, and it is followed by a short proctored verification test at a MEPS or MET site.
Assembling Objects (AO) is a picture-based spatial subtest and is not included here. AO does not count toward the AFQT. Try the free AO samples on officialasvab.com. The five technical subtests (General Science, Electronics Information, Auto Information, Shop Information and Mechanical Comprehension) affect job placement but not the AFQT, and they are not part of this paper. A nine-subtest full battery is not offered because without AO it would not be the full test and a 120-question fixed paper resembles no real sitting.
