ASVAB Study Advice?

[CLEP101]

To those that have replied, thank you very much for the websites. To address a few of the questions another poster asked. I plan to join the USMC.

An officer recruitor told me that I needed an 80 or above, to go to PLC.

If all I need is a 50 or above, I am pretty sure that will not be too difficult. As I have been studying very hard for this test. I find your information interesting, and from my experience, it seems that recruitors, differ one from another in their information. I do not mean this offensively, as it is not intended to come across as such. I admit I have found it frustrating, the veriation in information that I receive, from one recruitor to another. I could share with you several instances of such. I am just curious why it is.

Thank you for your time.

Since you will be joining USMC, that will explain the different requirements and why information differs from one service to another. The overall ASVAB qualification scores (AFQT of 1-99) for all services are the same, but the way they calculate the individual scores are different. USMC might require an 80 AFQT, while the Army doesn't focus on the AFQT, but on the GT (General Technical) score of 110 or above for anyone applying for OCS. And of course a Bachelors Degree. However, a passing AFQT is 31. Scoring above a 50 on the ASVAB regardless of individual scores qualifies enlistees for bigger bonuses, shorter enlistments, etc..
I made it a point to never recruit High School kids, and I never did. Everyone I enlisted were college grads, college dropouts, and people who needed jobs. Also the occasional prior service member from all brances that wasn't making it on the civilian side of the house, or just missed the service.
