- If you want to know how to take the ASVAB test from home, this video will detail what you need to know. It also details an ASVAB study guide I recommend and some free ASVAB practice tests. The only way to take the ASVAB at home is through a test called the PiCAT, however, if you take this version, you will still need a verification test when you get to MEPS. So don't cheat.

I'm getting it right now
Ayeee. I hope everything works out for you. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I test on the 18 of December and I hope I do well
I have a question. So if I pass just math knowledge out of the four AFTQ section will I fail
Like passing math knowledge only with a high score. Cuz I'm really good at math knowledge
Today I'm prepared to ship out in the next hour to San Antonio Air Force Base.
Ayeee. Let’s go. Good luck in training. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Good luck Brodie! 🫡🤞🏼im just waiting for my recruiter to schedule my MEPS(medical portion) I took my asvab already last week but he hasn’t responded in a couple days
How was it ?
I’m getting recommend your videos despite being two years in the Air Force, I’d like to say thanks for making content to make it easier for people to understand everything and giving them more options 😮
Look at the algorithm showing love. Lol. I appreciate your support brother. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
What’s you job in the airforce mate ?
I’m in the navy and tryna go airforce after my contract end
@@bedobedo1240
I’m a 1a3, Airborne Mission Systems Operator, although I’m on an aircraft for another afsc (1U0, RPA Sensor Operator).
Sadly the job specifics don’t matter since pretty soon all aircrew jobs will be merging into one job code 😅
But I operate on the RQ-4, a real life Call of Duty UAV to put it in simple terms, job itself is not that difficult but rewarding and the schedule is very off the wall
I took the PiCat myself just a month ago and scored a 96 on it, it took about a month for me to take the verification test which I did just this Friday infact and so I didn't remember any of my answers. Luckily I had more time to prepare since it had been a month since the last test so when it turned me over to the full test I got a 98! Thanks for all of your help with these videos JodywithaWhy, they have really helped prepare me for entering the airforce!
Was the picat the same questions when u went to take it at meps?
Ayee. Good job. That’s a great score. 🤙🏽
@@nickr2714 They seemed to be a small group of questions from the test you took at home, and you need to answer the questions the same way you answered them on the at home PiCat to verify that your test scores were accurate
@@nickr2714 yea. I took mine about a month ago and there were a lot of the same ones from my picat
Thank you for explaining this Jody. I always thought the PiCat would be much harder.
Come back with an update on your score! Would really love to see how well you do on it!
From my son loving jets. To watching your videos. To finally getting a ship date(12/5). Appreciate it all man, see you on the other side 🫡.
Jody is gold. All you need to prepare to join.
Jody, I’m going in as an enlisted airman and I want to become an officer. Once I get my bachelors, would a specialist job help my chances?
I did the PICAT at the recruitment station. Got 77. Went to MEPS and confirmed it. Glad I skipped the ASVAB lol
Was the question the same?
@@nickr2714 Some were, some different. Out of 30 Id say good 20 were the same.
Ayee. Good job. Glad it worked out for you. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@nickr2714waiting for this reply. We’re the questions the same?
Hi, thank you for your informative videos, they are very helpful. Quick question is there a way to take the official ASVAB test (computerized or written) at the recruiter’s office and if so do I still have to verify my scores when I go to MEPS?
Unfortunately there’s no way to take it in the recruiting office without taking a verification test at MEPS.
@@Jodywithawhy Ok, thanks!
I took my asvab , Passed with a high electrical and Admin. Thank you jodi, Your videos motivated me and kept me informed. Im off soon to BMT
Ayeee. Congratulations and good luck with BMT. I’m glad I could help you along the way. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Is the list out for the bonuses in AF yet? Thanks
Heyyyyyy. Was wondering if you could do a video explaining the BRS and Military pension
I made this one awhile ago. It should help. czcams.com/video/Ms7RAReIJV8/video.htmlsi=ojidwCu-z-oX-fbM
Thanks
You mentioned only being able to take this one time within a two year period. Where is that stated in the SOPG and doesn’t that overrule the rule of if an applicant has taken ASVAB they are ineligible to take PiCAT?
Hey I just saw your video about the Braun series 9, wondering if your still using that or upgraded to something else? I’m AD too and got tired of the bumps but don’t want a waiver
Hey man. I still use the Braun 9. That’s my go to. You just gotta make sure you don’t press hard against your skin. Just let it float across. And a good wash and face moisturizer.
Taking the ASVAB tomorrow crammed for 5 days! Wish me luck :)
Ayeee. You got this. Good luck with everything. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
how did you do?
Hey Jody love your videos, could you possibly make a video on how recruiters get your jobs for you? thank you
I made this video about jobs. It might help. Lemme know. czcams.com/video/GGN-k6M8pts/video.htmlsi=kDpCtKtyRcAwq5Xq
I tool my asvab and medical the same two days and swore into dep my recruiter sayed i got the job and im currently awaiting to ship im on early graduation for highschool so hopefully i can leave around January instead of july
Hey Jody! Can you please discuss loan forgiveness? The Army Guard offers loan forgiveness. The AF doesn’t at the moment. Do you see the AF offering loan forgiveness in the future?
The Air Force offers a $65,000 loan repayment for college loans right now. Reach out to a recruiter and ask about it.
my air force guard recruiter said they don't offer load forgiveness @@Jodywithawhy
Hey @jodywithawhy
I was hoping you can help me with a question I have. I am interested in joining the Air Force Reserves but have a great job and have a fear of losing it. I have staff that are service members that are protected when out on Military Leave. Would the same rules apply to someone enlisting/commissioning?
Thank you in advance!
Yep. Your job is protected to you throughout training and deployments. You would just have to provide orders to your job.
@@Jodywithawhy
I am very grateful for your quick response. I'm sure that you may get this alot but if there is any way possible, I would love to reach out to you with some questions. I'm 35, married, 2 kids, house with the white picket fence, etc... I have always had a calling to become an officer in the military. My #1 choice(no surprise to you) is the Air Force. I do not have a stem degree but have held management positions for over 15 years and have several technical degrees. I am contemplating the AF Reserves or the Army National Guard as it seems they are more willing to consider me for a commission. I am grateful for your time!
anyone know how many questions are on the PiCat?
I took the PiCat about a month or 2 ago and did not do as good and then took the ASVAB I did not try on it cus it was hard and many people and people watching me did not feel right plus my ADHD now im trying to study so I can pass
Going to talk to my local recruiter today.
I took a test in the office of my recruiter and I took another test one day before the meps but I failed I don’t know what happen so no I can go to the Meps am gonna wait 30 days again … never give up
I took the PiCat and did fairly well but I was studying for like a month, listened to multiple ASVAB practice audio books. I took about 4 hours to complete it and I guessed on some answers. Now I have to take a verification test and I hope I don't see the ones I had to guess. I have my scrap paper from the math section but it's kind of hard to follow when trying to remember the questions. So I'm back hitting the books and watching videos.
I took the PiCat and had to verify my scores. To be honest, it was about 30ish questions, and I remembered most of them, the others I made educated guesses on. If you don't brain dump your PiCat, you'll pass the verification test. Good luck!
Good luck on the verification test. I would definitely recommend you keep studying, that way there isn’t any drop off. I hope everything goes well. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Thank you
We’re they the same questions?
@@rainbleed8049We’re they the same questions?
Hello Jody, I have a question.
So I am going to be joining soon, and i have a pilonodial cyst that causes some discomfort when i’m doing sit-ups, im worried that when the time comes for PT, do they allow you to switch sit-ups for another exercise? Or do i need to let my recruiter know this? I have my asvab test tomorrow. So I guess there’s still time to let my recruiter know? What do you think? Are sit-ups absolutely required? Thanks.
I just tried doing sit-ups and it’s very uncomfortable because of the positioning of my cyst, the sit-ups applies direct pressure on where it’s at.
I would definitely recommend you talk with your recruiter. There are no alternative exercises at basic training for sit ups. If you can’t perform the exercise, it will most disqualify you from joining. Talk with your recruiter and let them know. Also, I would recommend talking with your doctor, and see what they think as far as correcting the condition. I hope that helps.
@@Jodywithawhy Thank you for replying, I missed the notification for this. But I ended up talking to my recruiter. Thanks again for your time in replying!
@@Jodywithawhy I’m able to do sit-ups perfectly fine now, I found a way to where it doesn’t hurt anymore. Keep killing it your channel is amazing!
hi jody, I just want to ask regarding dental issue. if you have missing teeth like all of your molar are extracted but replace it by dentures/prosthesis are you they going to disqualify you? thank you.
No. That’s not typically a disqualifying thing, unless of course you’re still dealing with issues from it.
@@Jodywithawhy thank you for the info. Great help.
Hey Jody fellow airman here, would you mind dropping a video on preparing for your first deployment as an A1C ?
Got you.
@@Jodywithawhy greatly appreciated !!
Just study anything related to the test so you can pass.
Decided to take the practice asvab online without any studying and got a 54. Mainly because I did great in math but, I know nothing about vehicles or electrical work. Here i saw the average was 46 and wanted to know if I should just focus on improving on what I do know and not as much on what I don’t, since that’s mostly vehicles or part of the test that doesn’t matter as much on the real asvab?
Which website did you use by chance?
Hi Roberto, please which online practice did you use? The app I download is asking for money tough.
The vehicle stuff doesn’t affect your overall score. It does affect the mechanical portion of the ASVAB and will limit your mechanical opportunities. If you’re only focused on improving your overall score, the math knowledge, arithmetic reasoning, word knowledge and paragraph comprehension sections are the only ones that matter.
Pls what website did you use cuz all others keep asking for money. Pls help me I test in 11days from now
For the afqt part of the test just study word knowledge and paragraph comprehension. My friend just studied those subjects and he got a 67. (His words) I'm finna go to meps to see if it's true
I would actually recommend the opposite. Study math knowledge and arithmetic. Those are the two areas I’ve seen boost scores dramatically.
What’s goin Jody, For the people who are enlisting w a college degree and score a little bit lower, will the degree hold any weight?
Unfortunately it wouldn’t. You’d still be required to meet the score requirements for your desired jobs.
I applied since August but my recruiters don't reach out or don't answer.. perhaps they're not interested in recruiting me. I live in South Texas and my recruiters are from San Antonio 3 hours away from driving. What do you recommend? Army National Guard reached out and wants me to join asap but I am still hoping to get a call from the Air Force Reserve or the Air National Guard. Great videos!
What’s your zip code. I can find you someone closer.

Ayeee. Good job. Good luck on the rest of the process. 🤙🏽
Hey jodi please what if you school less at the reccuiter center then you get a high score at verification will they consider the marks there or still the first one at the recruiting center
If you took a picat at the recruiting office, then take and pass a verification test at MEPS, you will be stuck with the original score you scored on the PICAT
failed my picat horribly now taking the asvab tomorrow 😮💨 not even ready to take it since I know nothing about math really, really wanna join the army and go infantry tho

Hey Jody. Quick question my dude! So I’m in Miami and my active duty recruiter is telling me either retest or take security forces. These are my scores: Overall: 41
M-16 A-39 G-44 E-27.
I looked on the Air Force website and there’s several jobs I could be with a G44. However, she’s saying nothing is available right now. Key word: right now. I told her I have a list and I don’t mind waiting for one to open up. She said she doesn’t wanna wait and told me I needed to add security forces on my list. I really don’t wanna go in thru that field and if I add it, I’ll obviously get it since it’s available. What the heck do I do? She said going open general is not even a conversation either. Please help me man!!
Hey Nicole. Taking an open general contract is possible, but they are limited. Which is probably why your recruiter said take the security forces job. Here’s the thing, the recruiter is telling you to list something they think you’d be able to book. Right now with your list, they don’t think they’ll be able to book something for you.
If she’s saying retest or list other careers, then that’s really the only option at this point. Keep in mind if you retest, you have the potential to score lower than before and the new score will be you official score.
You can always see what another recruiter would say, but because the open general contracts are so rare, you may run into the same issue with another.
Since it seems you absolutely do no want security forces, I’d recommend you first study for the asvab and then elect to take it again. I hope that helps. Good luck.
@@Jodywithawhy what's the lowest afqt of one's applicant that you had ever processed and swear in? (Just wondering).
@alfredocampo4660 I’ve put in a couple people with the lowest asvab score allowed, which is a 31. They usually went into security forces, or if my squadron had any available administration open contracts they’d take that.
I’m so nervous about taking the asvab Ive been out of school since 2015 and I’ve nerve been academically strong, but I do want to make a good score to get into the Air Force
You got this. Take a practice test or two, that way you know if you need to study. Then if you need to study, focus on the weak areas until you feel comfortable. Good luck. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

I take the PICAT next week, if I take it in my recruiters office do I still need to take a verification test?
Yep. You’d still need a verification test regardless of where you took the PICAT.
Hey Jody my recruiter had me set up to take the Picat he gave me a access code to log in but for some reason it gave me an error is it because I need to to the test on a desktop? I was trying to do it on my laptop but didn’t work
Do you have any suggestions?
Sometimes your browser fights back. I’ve had luck with putting the browser in comparability view. Hit the gear icon in the upper right or tools on the menu bar-comparability view settings-hit add. Hopefully that works.
@@Jodywithawhy thank you 🙏🏼
Hey Jody. I just took my asvab test friday and was wondering if my score was good. I got a 64 overall and got a 50 M, 65 A, 64 G, and a 68 E. please let me know, thanks!
Do You Have Any Jobs That Caught Your Eye?
Bro did u pass all of the AFTQ section
I mean Mk, AR, Wk, PC
Like I test on the 18 of this month. So my question is what if I pass just one or two of the four section, will if affect me
the verification test is a joke it's just a bunch of questions about 'if you're honest' and then you keep your score

What ASVAB score is needed for crew chief?
You gotta score a 47 or higher on the mechanical portion of the ASVAB

Lol. Super comfortable.
Its my first time to meet my recruiter tommorow..do i really need to bring my resume?
No. A resume is not a requirement to join, unless of course your recruiter asked for it. If they did, that’s their standard and you’d want to follow their standard.
