USMC minimum score: 31 or higher (out of 100%)
Sample questions: https://www.officialasvab.com/applicants/sample-questions/
He has to be fully illiterate. 31 is such a low bar that it's reading a paragraph and doing addition/subtraction/division/multiplication.
I know nothing about cars and electrical really, and I'm pretty bad at math and I got at least 75% of the questions correct.
Did he even finish high school? He was 17 when he killed those two people, and I doubt he has done much learning since then.
He can live the rest of his life mooching off Chud welfare, why would this glorified nazi thug put any effort into anything ever again?
No. He dropped out in middle school. His trial team had to "help" him quickly complete a GED so they could paint him as a promising young man who just got caught in a bad situation. He is, according to everyone who has spent any time around him, aggressively stupid.
Well that alone is a disqualification. No high school diploma or GED means you can’t join up (barring the Navy until a couple months ago).
Do they really use multiple choice for math questions in US education? That makes it very easy to guess the answers for some questions without fully performing any calculations.
Also I've answered some of the questions on that website and I haven't got a single one wrong yet. Is this really all you need, along with basic fitness, to become a marine? Because if so, I understand where all the stereotypes about them being crayon eaters come from.
Okay I got my first question wrong. I answered with backsaw for the question: "Which handsaw should be used to make a rough cut with the grain in a thick board?" Correct answer was ripsaw. My hopes and dreams of being a US Marine are over😭.
Bit idea, your score is so high it activates some sort of "Marine Prophecy Lore" about the chosen one, and you just keep trying to explain that multiple choice helps you guess, ala idiocracy.
nah, they probably also reject people who score too high. they want that sweet 31%-60% range.
Nah they just fast track you to certain roles. Pilots and intelligence officers and electrical work for tanks or whatever the fuck. I almost joined when I was a desperate 18 y/o trying to pay for college and after they saw my scores they were blowing my shit up trying to get me to do nuclear stuff (navy recruiter).
Considering you need minimum scores higher than 60 to do certain jobs and theyre whining about recruitment rates being low id disagree
This that genius marine? Man, I thought his head would be bigger. Looks like a damn peanut.
I never saw multiple choice math problems in class/homework, but it seemed common for standardized testing like this, where only a small writing section would be manually graded. Everything else (on those tests) was multiple choice or similar.
Damn was standardized testing in the US pushed so it would be an easier transition when you go to the ASVAB? I’m kinda having a revelation rn frfr
It was also initially adopted as part of a pre-(or post, can't remember) WW1 scheme to sort out the bunker kids from the "more expendable" trench kids
The primary goal of standardized testing companies, like every other company, is profit, so they avoid having to spend money on someone manually grading something as much as possible.
You need to be able to run a 3 mile in a short period of time, i dont think most of us can do that here.
I think you need to spend more time around american kids who arent the rich, white ones on reddit or here. They've been failed by our country and society so bad.
It's three miles in under 28 minutes on flat ground for the minimum required score, so nine minutes per mile pace will get you there comfortably. This is along with 4 pull ups or chin ups, and a one minute ten second plank.
I think most of us under 28 years old could achieve that if we trained for it, it's not like joining the Navy SEALS or anything like that.
If you are diligent and smart enough to train to get your run time and fitness to that point youre likely diligent and smart enough to pass an easy military test.
The people who are trying to join are not that and thats what im trying to point out.
Not disagreeing with you at all, but I wanted to add that I can say from personal experience that if you are serious about joining, recruiters will literally train you to make the minimum standards. Idk if all of them will, but I had gone to a handful, and a couple had potential recruits running laps around the building.
Yeah but theyre probably not going to bother if youre also an asvab dud
There is a reason my countrymen are often called "amerifats".
Is that to get through MEPS or what the minimum PT standards are to stay in the Marines?
For the Army, admittedly 20+ years ago, so long as you passed the criminal background check, the drug test, and the medical check by the time you got through the MEPS station it was assumed that Basic Training would be where you'd do the physical training to meet the minimum fitness standards.
PT standards for Marines minimum. But even bare minimum is hard in US the obesity rate leader, not factoring in height and weight.
The medical stuff has gotten way more complicated and they can track anything that was reported to a hospital.
The average person can walk 4 miles per hour at a leisurely pace. Three miles in 28 minutes is a light jog.
I can barely get 2 miles in 22 minutes, im not a particularly out of shape person. i used to be able to do it under 14 mins but i was much younger and fitter
BobDole gave the most accurate answer here for how testing works that I saw. All of the specific skill (mechanical, electrical etc) based questions are just used for checking whether you would be proficient for a particular role. Your AFQT score is the "actual" score people will refer to when you say what you scored on the ASVAB. So you can miss all the electrical questions and still score a 99 essentially, so long as you get all the reading and math questions right.
I got everything right except in the cars and electronics sections, it's not like they teach that shit in schools, but even then it was pretty easy to make an educated guess for several
a ton of the answers throughout just sound intentionally dumb to help you in process of elimination. like who would choose the radiator on a car as part of lubrication or ignition?
So, the ASVAB is a 99 point scale. The number commonly given is the AFQT number, which is a representation of the percentile at which you score. In this example, that would be the 31st percentile, ie scores less than 69% of people who have taken the test, with the high score possible being the 99th percentile, ie scores better than than 99% of test takers. Now, the AFQT is based on a formula instead of actually keeping a running tally of everyone’s scores and comparing every new test, so it’s an approximation
Apparently they let people with a 21 or higher do a sort of prep program with extended consideration. If someone took it multiple times and wasn't able to break the top 80%, that firmly puts them in the bottom quintile of "aptitude".
His entire life he has expected everything to be handed to him on a silver platter, and having no qualifications whatsoever works just fine for him considering he's set for life on ChudFundMe
Ive heard people getting single digits its worse than you think
