Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the AFCT and the ASVAB?
The AFCT and ASVAB test the same content areas and use the same scoring system. The key difference is that the ASVAB is taken before enlistment at MEPS, while the AFCT is taken by active-duty service members at base education centers. The AFCT allows you to improve your AFQT and line scores for MOS reclassification or reenlistment purposes.
How often can I retake the AFCT?
You can retake the AFCT 1 month after your first attempt. After that, you must wait 6 months between subsequent retakes. Your most recent score replaces the previous one. Coordinate with your base education center to schedule your test.
Will improving my AFCT score help me change my MOS?
Yes. Each MOS, rating, or AFSC requires specific line scores (combinations of subtest scores). If your current line scores don't qualify you for a desired job, improving them through the AFCT can open reclassification opportunities. Check your branch's reclassification requirements for the specific line scores needed.
How do I sign up to take the AFCT?
Contact your base education center or Army Education Center to schedule the AFCT. The test is free for all active-duty personnel. You'll need your military ID and may need your commander's approval depending on your branch's policy. Some bases offer walk-in testing while others require appointments.
What subtests are on the AFCT?
The AFCT has 8 subtests: General Science (GS), Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Word Knowledge (WK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Electronics Information (EI), Auto & Shop Information (AS), and Mechanical Comprehension (MC). These subtests produce your AFQT score and various line scores used for job qualification.
