Can I retake the ASVAB to get a higher score?

The Army or National Guard does not permit an ASVAB retake if you are looking to boost your score. You may retake if your previous ASVAB score has expired, you were unable to complete the test, or you did not achieve the minimum score required.

What happens if you don’t pass ASVAB?

The ASVAB is the entrance exam required to join the United States military. If you don’t pass this test you won’t be allowed to enlist in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or any branch of the National Guard or Reserves. This test is given to everyone who is considering enlisting in the US military.

How long do you have to wait to retake ASVAB?

To retake the ASVAB a second time, another one-month wait is required. For any additional retests, a six-month wait is required between retests. The retest policy is the same, regardless of whether the initial test is a student test or an enlistment test.

What happens if you take the ASVAB twice?

After the retest, you must wait at least six months before taking the ASVAB again. When you retake the ASVAB, it’s not your highest score that counts, but rather the score on your latest test. If you score lower on the retest, that is the score that will be used for your military enlistment.

Can I use my enlistment ASVAB scores to qualify for retraining?

In other words, except in a few cases, you can use your enlistment ASVAB scores to qualify for retraining years later. After you take an initial ASVAB test (taking the ASVAB in high school does not count as an initial test), you can retake the test after 30 days. After the retest, you must wait at least six months before taking the ASVAB again.

How long are ASVAB test scores good for?

ASVAB test scores are good for two years after the date you took the test only for enlistment purposes. If you took the ASVAB and then re-took the test at a later date and got a worse score the date of your second test score would be used.
