AFQT Practice Exam 2: Answers and Explanations
Did you do well on this practice exam? I sure hope so! Use this answer key to score the practice exam in Chapter 21.
The AFQT isn’t scored based on number correct, number wrong, or even percent of questions correct. Instead, the score is derived by comparing your raw score with the raw score of others who have taken the test before you. In determining the raw score, harder questions are worth more points than easier questions. (For more on scoring, turn to Chapter 1.)
Don’t waste time trying to equate your score on this practice test with your potential score on the actual AFQT. It can’t be done. Instead, use the results of this practice test to determine which areas you should devote more study time to.
