ASVAB Practice and Study Tips
When you became interested in joining the military, being tested on your math knowledge was probably something you thought was over the day you completed high school. No more finding the mysterious value of “x”, the square root of a number, or adding, subtracting, and multiplying without a calculator?
As it turns out, you will always need math for something. That’s why you’re faced with the ASVAB Mathematics Knowledge and ASVAB Arithmetic Reasoning test sections.

If you’re a little nervous about starting your ASVAB math practice online, we’re here to set your mind at ease. This isn’t climbing Mount Everest. This is the type of math you already studied in high school. During the test, you’ll be asked to solve some word problems as well as straightforward equation questions.
Example of ASVAB Mathematics Knowledge question:
If a = 2b, then 5 + 7(a – 2b) =
The correct answer is 5. If you substitute 2b for a, the equation is 5 + 7(2b – 2b) = . The two variables cancel out because you multiply the 7 with each 2b first (this is because of the order of operations) and then are left with the correct answer of 5.
Example of ASVAB Arithmetic Reasoning question:
Amanda’s bank account has a balance of $928.16. She deposits a check for $412.83 and then uses her bank card to pay for a $17.22 lunch, get $36.59 worth of gas and buy a new pair of shoes for $67.90. How much money does she have in the bank account at the end of the day?
The correct answer is $1,219.28. Solving this question is requires using addition and subtraction. Start with the starting balance, add the deposit, and subtract the expenditures. Here is the starting balance plus the deposit: $928.16 + $412.83 = $1,340.99. Now add up the total expenditures, which are $17.22 + $36.59 + $67.90 = $121.71, so now you have the total amount of expenditures. Subtract the expenditures total from the current balance total to get $1,340.99 – $121.71 = $1,219.28.
