Default Is a score of 83 good for the ASVAB?

Just got my ASVAB results and I received a score of 83. Is that a good score or should I take the test again?

Your GT score is what's going to really matter when it comes to picking your (final) MOS...
83 is a good score, see what your recruiter has to say about jobs that you can pick from and what isn't available because of your score; if there's something you really want that you can't get because of your score, then study and retake the test.

83 is good. See if you can get your line scores from the recruiter. They tell more of the tale.

I believe the test is out of a total of 99 so 83 is good. You should be able to qualify for most jobs. GT and ST are better gauges though.

if your GT is 110 or above you did well. I dont know what ST is ^^^ but I know for most "good" jobs you need 110 on GT

83 is very good, most jobs only require at most 70 or so in General. Some will require a specific mechanical or administrative score, but you should be good for just about anything you wanna do.

I am going to talk to my recruiter on monday to check about the GT score. I am just hoping I don't have to retake the test.

83 is pretty good. I got an 87 or so and that equaled a 110 GT. 110 or higherGT and your good to go, I qualified for 160 or so MOS's.

With an 83 you should be good but just make sure your GT is above 110 as that will open a lot of doors.

It does matter, a GT of 110 is the cutoff score for a lot of career choices. An example is that a 110 is required to become a warrant or commissioned officer in the Army. It is not waiverable also.

GT is "General Trainability" it has nothing to do with your AFQT of 83. 71 is the qualifier for all jobs and i believe 110 is the gt requirement, 83 is good though. I got a 93 and scored a 140 GT score and i thought the test was stupid and easy, the gp of the military is pretty ******* stupid. The servicemen you find on this seem to all be pretty intelligent though. I hear ppl brag about getting high ASVAB scores and i just laugh at them. I mean seriously how can you brag about acing a test thats on a 8th grade level? Ask your recruiter for a copy of your line scores(he'll know what you are talking about) and then evaluate the requirements for all the mos' you are looking at. If you fall short then redo the test, make sure your satisfied BEFORE you go to basic because after that theres no re-takes.
