(MK) for 18E

[Callsign]

Greetings, I had a question concerning Math Knowledge for an 18E. I just took the practice ASVAB on my recruiters laptop and I scored a 51. Here are the breakdowns:



According to [http://www.military.com/ASVAB/0,,ASVAB_MOS_Army.html], the qualifications are a GT:110 & SC:100.

GT = Verbal Expression and Arithmetic Reasoning
SC = Verbal Expression + Arithmetic Reasoning + Auto Shop + Mechanical Comprehension

Given the above, does the Army not calculate Math Knowledge when determing MOS qualification for an 18E?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What part of this is confusing to you?
GT = Verbal Expression and Arithmetic Reasoning
SC = Verbal Expression + Arithmetic Reasoning + Auto Shop + Mechanical Comprehension.

It's best not to ask a qeustion by stating the answer, as you ask the quesiton.

Thanks, it was more of a concern on the accuracy of the source [military.com] and if those were the correct formulas (up-to-date).

Admin/mod you may close this thread.

I think the source is fairly accurate but that isn't what you asked. If you are working on a term paper or thesis then you know you have to back up a source with two or three other sources inorder to make it credible. This probably isn't the place to do that.

If you are planning on joining the Army here is little advice: "Don't read to much into things; life is to short for that. Grab a pair and go for it!"

Best of Luck.
