Journey to the Military 002: 5 tips to taking the ASVAB

[mark29621]

I've been studying but how do you stay focused?

@mark29621 I put myself in a quiet area and don't make any excuses to find a distraction (meaning if I'm hungry or thirsty I eat ahead of time, have some water near me), I don't watch any tv, have any music playing, and I try not to surf the web as much unless I'm looking for an in depth answer. I also took breaks when I felt like I was being overloaded.

@DrawnedForLife nice nice, glad that advice was helpful. You'll do fine once you understand the material :)

I've have the book Asvab for Dummies!! But I really don't like it..... From here on out I'm using military.com

@mark29621 great choice, you should do just fine on the test after that :) good luck

How long did you study?

[SabiineOh]

@mark29621 The first time I took it, hardly ever. I figured skimming through the book for an hour or so was enough. The second time, I studied almost everyday from the day I scheduled the test til the test day for about 3 hours off and on.
