My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Getting into the United States armed forces is not an easy task. Apart from being passionate about serving the nation one needs to be smart, educated, and have the aptitude to succeed in the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and particularly the Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT). There are numerous guidebooks that help army aspirants prepare for this test, the one that stood out for me is the ASVAB Study Guide from the Prime Score Academy. This book is not just about test taking and succeeding but it is a personality development guide to study the right way, how to have a disciplined approach for passing the ASVAB. This book provides some valuable information on study approaches, habits, nutrition, and sleep balance to succeed in this vital test.

I got this book for my nephew who is currently preparing to enter the armed forces and is studying for this test. According to him the ASVAB Study Guide by Prime Score Academy is one of the most comprehensive test preparations guides he has studied. In the introduction the publishers make it known that this test prep guide means business. “It gives you a mix of theoretical insights, practical tips, and countless practice opportunities that will empower you to study smarter and perform better under exam conditions,” write the authors in the very first page. The introduction also gives practical tips to maximize efficiency during study time. There are tips on active learning, distributed practice and spaced repetition, time management, stress reduction, and learning hacks specific to AFQT.

Organized into 11 chapters including the introduction and conclusion, the ASVAB Study Guide gives hope to students overwhelmed by exhaustive content, and the questions they bring up. This book is a sure shot guide to success to those that are committed to following the steps detailed in here and willing to put in the work. The practice exams, self-assessment quizzes, provide important insights to the student in the form of strengths, analytical briefs on weaknesses, and how to overcome them among others.
