How can you find out your score? Took it in HS and had the Air Force hounding me. Told me I was 4th highest in school but don't ever remember seeing my score.

84 AFQT after I took the ASVAB, my recruiter made me go get my GED before they would do anything for me. Yeah, I didn't give a shit about HS.

I just spent the last couple of hours going thru my records. Couldn't find my ASVAB or GT Scores.

Dropped out of HS. got a GED, aced SAT and ACT.  Joined Army, 11b, had my choice of jobs but chose infantry.  What was I thinking?

Applied to West Point, didn't make that but got the prep-school and a scholarship. Graduated with a 3.0 and a couple of National Honor Societies that I had forgotten about.  

Commissioned in '89. Infantry. Discharged '98 as a CPT.

I have no clue what my ASVAB or GT scores were.

And yeah, I make more than $250K a year.

99 percentile on the ASVAB, 140- something GT.

I took it right after I graduated college with a 3.8 GPA in Engineering Physics.

Apparently I'm not that smart because I enlisted right after.

I didn't take the ASVAB until after college. Had a B average in school. Got a 99 on the ASVAB. 

I'm sure it helped that I was familiar with the basic principles of combustion engines, had a little experience reading electrical diagrams and liked the spatial puzzles.

I never joined the Military, but we did the ASVAB in HS.

The USMC recruiter was on me for a long time after that, he said I scored in the top 7%, but he was a recruiter, so... For whatever reason, the Marines were the only ones that ever came to our school.

I don't know what the score was, never bothered to find out. As far as my HS grades are concerned, they were excellent in science, history and tech, but I did as little as I could get by with in math class. I regret that now.

I got a 99 two years in a row. I only took it to get out of class. The second time I was mad that I didn't get %100 because I knew I hadn't missed any of the questions. I felt better when the guy explained that 99 was the highest score.

The only thing I was interested in I was disqualified because I wear glasses. That's alright, I wouldn't have done well in the military.

I don't remember the actual score. All i do recall was a meeting with the the school counselor after.

"I've looked at your grade average. ASVAB score tells me you are not trying very hard."

She was correct. ...i hated HS.

I know there are a lot of rocket sturgeons here so lets compare scores.
I took the test twice, once in tech school and then the air force wouldn't stop calling and again when I was 22ish to get into my plants apprentice program.
IIRC, I got an 89 in school and I may have breathed in second hand smoke on the bus that morning, and the second time I got a 91 and was hung over as hell.
Both times I thought it was easy except for the higher math. I was never good with math and I didnt finish that part which wasnt required anyway.
In school up to 9th grade when I went into tech I was a C-D student.
Try to be realistic.

ASVAB was an interesting test, got everything in the low to high  90s, if I recall its based on a scale of 1-100.
Only got interest from one branch after taking it, the US Coast Guard Academy.

But it's not like the ASVAB is hard. The only people that didn't end up with high scores are the same people who need to be told to close their mouths and they ended up as cooks or truck drivers in the Army.

Problem is you think a 70s score is bad when it really is pretty good.

My wife was a doctor, shes a pilot now, would probably score in the 30s. As far as multitasking and office work (law firm) she has it going on where I would be lost and looking out the window at squrrels.

But hand her a wrench?  Explain to her that righty tighty does not apply when the bolt is upsidedown?

Her eyeballs spin like slot machine wheels.

Things like l/w/h simply confound her.

I was lazy in hs and didn't do homework...was too busy working and chasing tail, so I was a C-D student.

ASVAB was 98 percentile.

ACT score was 34.

Did not take SAT.

Still regret to this day not going .mil with those scores. Only reason I didn't was because my father was pushing me to do it, and we didn't get along very well.

I never saw my ASVAB scores. I know I needed at least a 55 at the time just to get into the Air Force. And I know I scored high enough for the job I wanted, which was to be a Loadmaster. I waited a year and half for someone to retire so I could get that job. I also know there were three different versions of the test they were doing at that time. I know this because some absolutely stupid guy who couldn't multiply 12 times 12 unless he had ten minutes and a calculator was rubbing it in my face that he had a higher score than me. When I asked the recruiter how that was possible he told me about the three different versions of the test and said I got the hardest one while the idiot got the easiest.

As for school. I hated it. It was far too boring and monotonous and the people were shit. I had C's and D's because I never did the homework or the projects but almost always got 95 to 100% on any test, unless I was required to show my work, which I never did because I could do it in my head. My teachers hated me because I was always the smartest kid in the class but I never participated.

Edited, since you changed the title,

B-C student in HS, I never had to actually apply myself or work. I then got into a military college and did poorly the first few years at college, mostly because I had no idea how to work or study in a scholastic environment. I left school and came back a year or so ago and graduated in May with a BA in Int Affairs w/ a ME focus. If you only count my GPA from my last two years I would have a 3.66

I never took the ASVAB, I probably should have.

I took the AFOQT, though, and scored 79 pilot, 90 nav, 87 Academic Aptitude, 94 verbal, and 70 quantitative.  Would have been interesting to see how my scores compared to the asvab.  

I had around a 3.75 GPA from high school and a 3.27 with an engineering degree from college.  I'll be heading to Air Force OTS in january and after that I'll go to CSO training.

ASVAB. GT 129

School was various grades...
Math was B-/C+ 
English was C-/D because I did not give 2 shits about literature or composition (had to take to graduate) and did the minimum to get by.
History / Social Studies was B

Electronics, engineering concepts, CAD, plastics, hot metals, and other various shop classes was A/A+

Took it senior year in High school while taking advanced math classes and basic physics.

Went on to become a civil engineer.

3.5 High school gpa

Had a 99 on asvab.

For some reason the marine recruiter wouldn't stop pressing me. Even bought me lunch etc. I wasn't rude but politely asked him that I thought the marines were for the not so bright fellows.

Edit: I see chairborne doesn't believe some folks. I know I remembered the score as my friends and I were all competitive in everything with each other. It was the only thing I crushed them on. Seemed like it was math and logic based which was my strength and not theirs. One buddy went on to be a phd in biology and the other an attorney but math wasn't their thing.
