pre-test

The Pre-test acts as a practice exam to assess your knowledge in the four main sections of the ASVAB: verbal, math, science and technical skills, and spatial reasoning. Think of it as preparing for a race; when we ask you to sprint 100 meters, we can evaluate your techniques and identify areas for improvement. Based on that assessment, we can advise you on how to enhance your style and form. The pre-test serves a similar purpose; once you complete it, we can gauge your potential performance on the ASVAB. If your results are not strong, we will pinpoint the areas where you face challenges, allowing us to provide you with the necessary resources to achieve your primary goal: passing the ASVAB.
