What math topics are on the ASVAB?

Arithmetic reasoning (word problems) and mathematics knowledge (algebra, geometry, fractions). We cover all test topics systematically.

How long should I study for ASVAB math?

Most students need 3-4 weeks of focused practice. Our lessons let you study at your own pace and focus on weak areas.

What's a good AFQT math score?

31+ qualifies for Army, 35+ for Marines, 36+ for Navy/Coast Guard, 40+ for Air Force. We help you reach your target branch score.

Can I photograph practice problems?

Yes! Upload any ASVAB practice problem and we'll show you matching video lessons and step-by-step solutions.

Are these real ASVAB questions?

We provide ASVAB-style questions that match real test format and difficulty. Practice with authentic test problems.

Do you cover arithmetic reasoning?

Yes! Complete coverage of word problems, rates, ratios, percentages, and all arithmetic reasoning topics tested on ASVAB.

What about mathematics knowledge section?
