The standard ASVAB score is used to identify your strengths and weaknesses in certain skills. The standardization of these ASVAB score results makes it easier for the military to assess and compare candidates.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Your ASVAB Line Score<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (aka your ASVAB Composite Score) is used to determine which military occupations are best aligned with your knowledge and skills. ASVAB Composite scores help determine your eligibility for specific roles within the military and each branch of the military has its own set of line scores of subset combinations. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Your AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) Score <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is based on your performance from four ASVAB subtests: AR, MK, WK, and PC. These four subtests are combined to calculate one general score. This score (your AFQT score) is divided into 8 categories and is converted into a percentile score between 1 and 99. This score is considered to be the most important ASVAB score on your ASVAB test as it determines your eligibility for enlistment into each military branch. A high AFQT score leads to more opportunities within the military.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To enlist in the U.S. Coast Guard, you must have a minimum ASVAB AFQT Score of 40.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Setting a Target ASVAB Coast Guard Score<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you begin your ASVAB Coast Guard test prep, take a diagnostic test to determine your current score level. Then, set a target score to work towards. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to join the Coast Guard, you generally need a minimum AFQT score of 40 if you have a high school diploma. If you have a GED, the minimum score is usually 50. To increase your opportunities and qualify for more specialized roles, aim for a minimum AFQT score of 60. Follow our ASVAB test prep steps to increase your ASVAB score over time:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>ASVAB Test Prep Steps<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Take ASVAB Practice Tests<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out your current ASVAB score by taking a full-length ASVAB practice test. This will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses so you can focus on areas that need improvement. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/testprep\/military\/coast-guard-asvab\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peterson\u2019s ASVAB Coast Guard Practice tests<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have explanations to every answer so you can analyze your mistakes and understand where you went wrong and correct it. Regularly take a practice test under timed conditions to monitor your progress and test-taking skills and watch your score increase each time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Build Out An ASVAB Study Plan<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a study schedule that allows you to cover all subtests. After you\u2019ve taken an ASVAB practice test, dedicate more time to areas where you are weakest. To earn a high ASVAB and AFQT score, taking ASVAB practice tests and studying daily will be the key to success. Aim for at least 1-2 hours of studying per day and begin your test prep at least 8 weeks in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>ASVAB Study Materials + ASVAB Support<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using reputable ASVAB study materials and online test prep courses can help you grasp content and key concepts for each subtest of the ASVAB. Connect with a tutor or join a study group to support you in areas that you need help with. Peterson\u2019s 3 and 6 month test prep subscriptions give you on-demand access to tutoring experts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Use ASVAB Study Strategies<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each ASVAB subtest will require different strategies and topics to review.
