Questions About My ASVAB Scores (Air Force)?

"1. Do they only show you certain and not all jobs that you're qualified for?

~~"majority of Air Force jobs (approximately 60 percent) are reserved for individuals joining under the Guaranteed Aptitude program. Therefore, many of the available jobs ARE NOT RELEASED to the Air Force Jobs Counselor at MEPS. Instead, they are "reserved" and offered to recruits in basic training, who enlisted under the Guaranteed Aptitude Program"

I dont know if that applies to linguist jobs, just something to think about.

2. Which do you think is better job-wise, Airborne Linguist (I also qualified to be a Cryptolinguist) or Airborne ISR?

~~I vote for Airborne linguist but I really have no real personal reasons why. I have a few friends who work for The Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency (Formerly Air intelligence agency) here at Lackland and they generally love their job so I guess either way you'll probably be happy!

3. Are my scores actually that above average? I'm not trying to sound smart or fish for compliments or anything, I just honestly don't know. xD"

~~Your scores are great! highest possible score is 99 and most people on average score around 50 so you did very well! I got a 78 and thought I did pretty good lol way to out do me ;)

Good luck with everything!!

Questions About My ASVAB Scores (Air Force)?

I am 20 years old, looking to hopefully become a military linguist for the United States Air Force.

I just went to MEPS this weekend and took the ASVAB for the first time and it appears that I got an amazing score, but I really don't understand exactly what they mean. I was ensured that with...

Hey, I just took the ASVAB last week, and I thought I did pretty well, and now you're putting my results to shame. I believe the linguist jobs falls under the general category, and from what I've heard you only need a minimum of a 72 to be eligible for those jobs, and pretty much everything else under general.

I too am actually interested in becoming a linguist, and I received an 80 under my general section, and my recruiter said if I apply for a job under it, I'd be taken pretty promptly, so I don't think you'd have anything to worry about. I'm going to have to take the test for it as well, and hopefully we can both reach the minimum score of 100. It's a great job I think though, whether it's Airborne or Crypto. I haven't looked much into ISR, but I'd be thrilled to end up a linguist.

Don't worry about your scores though, you did plenty well.

There probably wasn't a lot of choices because the AF doesn't really have a lot of opening right now. You will get to pick a few choices for what job you want and then they will give you a job for what they need. I am going Army because I only want intelligence, I don't want to be stuck doing some crap job for a few years when I am capable of more. I scored a 95 on the asvab.

They will show you all the jobs you qualify for. Your results are a percentile, e.g. If you score an AFQT of 90, then you scored above 90% of the applicants. That's the same for all the MAGE scores. You did well, but are not exceptionally well qualified. You did well enough to qualify for all career fields (including 9S100, which requires the highest ASVAB scores).

Congrats! Take the DLPT and the EDPT to fully qualify for all career fields. (not considering other factors such as clearance and physical standards)

Actually your just a Tier ll recruit.

You did not score high enough to be a Tier l recruit.

But your scores are high enough for every AFSC except one. ( technical applications specialist )

Your electronic area score is nothing to brag about.
