    ASVAB and Air Force Jobs

    Jobs in the Air Force are called "AFSC's" (short for Air Force Specialty Code). To find what jobs you qualify for, the Air Force breaks down your ASVAB subtest scores into groups known as "qualification areas." The ASVAB subtests are: General Science (GS); Arithmetic Reasoning (AR); Word Knowledge (WK); Paragraph Comprehension (PC); Numerical Operations (NO); Coding Speed (CS); Auto and Shop Information (AS); Mathematics Knowledge (MK); Mechanical Comprehension (MC); Electronics Information (EI); and Sum of Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension (VE).

    The four qualification areas are:

    Qualification Area ASVAB Subtests

    G - General Verbal Expression (WK plus PC) and Arithmetic Reasoning (AR)

    M - Mechanical Mechanical Comprehension (MC), General Science (GS) and 2 times Auto & Shop Information (AS)

    A - Administrative Numerical Operations * (NO), Coding Speed * (CS), and Verbal Expression (WK plus PC)

    E - Electrical Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Electronics Information (EI), and General Science (GS)
