Easier learning process than school By Chivo The math explanations in this book are very elaborate and easy to understand. I honestly think I learned more from this book than I did from my math teachers while in school. Thus, if you want to learn math, reading, and word knowledge this is the book.Before I purchased this book I would have liked to know that not all the 9 sub test of the asvab are included, theres only the four most important ones for you to qualify and be able to join a military branch. However, the other 5 sub test are necessary for you to open your doors to more job positions. 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful. BIG Help! By ShelRichDen This book is well worth the money! I have been out of High School for 7 years and was worried about taking the ASVAB. I took online practice tests but this didn't help me study much. I ordered this book and was pleasantly surprised by all the good information. The practice tests were a great help also! I looked over this book for about 2 weeks and scored an 80 on my ASVAB. There are a few mistakes throughout the book but nothing that should cause problems. I would tell anyone who asks to use this book when studying for the ASVAB. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. A must get if you want to score higher on the AFQT By Sam I bought this along with kaplan 2011 and Asvab flash cards, and this by far helped the most. the Asvab flashcards i got robbed cause nothing on those were on the test, and the Kaplan book is way harder than the actual test and that messed me up. Get this book. its the best investment you can make. I thought this book was the least of my favorite. until i took the test, and i realized when i was taking the test that this book was actually legit, and most of the math questions come straight from this book. The other books did not. I'm just giving you guys the 411. i ended up getting a 51 which is okay. but before that i got a 28. so this book helped alot. See all 18 customer reviews...
