Answer Every Question

There is no penalty for an incorrect answer. Therefore, there is no reason to leave a question blank. It is best to make an educated guess on a question, as every point scored helps the final grade.

Don’t Be Afraid To Skip A Question

However, do not take too much time to answer one question. Spending five minutes staring at the same problem is a waste of valuable test time and the right answer is not going to just pop out.

Eliminate False Choices

Every ASVAB question is multiple choice with four possible answers. Most of the problems will have 1 or 2 choices that can be eliminated as the wrong answer. By eliminating two wrong choices, the chance to get the right answer is 50-50. This technique can often turn difficult problems into manageable one.

These three tips will help in answering any and all ASVAB test questions.
