Testimonials from test takers, military servicemembers
Kaplan
ASVAB 2008
The Kaplan guide has everything I needed to prepare myself for the exam. The
book was a great help for refreshing my memory in math and English for the
test. Timing yourself on the practice tests is also a great way to make sure
you are ahead of the game and never worry about time in the actual test.
You will need to sit down and spend hours doing practice test and studying
the material in the book but in the end it is worth it. The books three
practice tests and study guides contained information that was invaluable in
taking the test.
The procedures and shortcuts they taught allowed me to feel confident taking
the test. The material for some of the sections allowed me to score well in
areas I really don't have much experience with (Automotive, electronics,
science) Others have said the math was too hard but it meant that there was
not one question I ran into to that I was unable to answer with time to
spare.
I would say this is one of the best study guides I have ever seen or used
but be prepared to spend time doing the work. As I said it will take hours
to go through the material and learn what you need. I believed this book had
a direct result in scoring an AFQT of 99. Excellent Book!

30
Days to the ASVAB
I bought this book along witht he book "ASVAB Basics" and found this book to
be a great supplement to the ASVAB Basics book. I recommend studying fromt
the ASVAB Basics Book first then study from this book. I found the questions
in this book to be harder then what is on the actula exam which made the
actual ASVAB easier. I also found that a few of the questions in this book
was on the actual exam itself (manily from the Word Knowledge and Arithmetic
sections). I needed a GT score of 110 to get into Officer candidate School
and ended up getting a 120! This book ROCKS!!
