ASVAB &
MOS EXPLORER
The ASVAB determines if you can enlist and which jobs you qualify for. Your AFQT score is the gate. Your line scores unlock specific MOS.
What is the AFQT?
The Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) is a percentile score (1–99) derived from 4 ASVAB subtests. It determines basic eligibility to enlist — not your MOS. Your percentile means you scored higher than that percentage of a nationally representative sample.
Minimum AFQT Score by Branch
Higher waiver requirements apply for GED holders
| Branch | Min AFQT | Score Range |
|---|---|---|
| Army | 31+ | 1–99 percentile |
| Navy | 35+ | 1–99 percentile |
| Marines | 32+ | 1–99 percentile |
| Air Force | 36+ | 1–99 percentile |
| Space Force | 36+ | 1–99 percentile |
| Coast Guard | 40+ | 1–99 percentile |
ASVAB Line Scores — how MOS eligibility works
Each MOS requires a minimum score in one or more composite line scores. These are calculated by combining specific ASVAB subtests.
