ASVAB Score-to-Job (MOS) Lookup

Unlike the GRE, MCAT, SAT, or ACT, ASVAB studying isn't aimed at a percentile — it's aimed at a specific AFQT category and line-score combination required for a specific branch and job. This page explains the category structure so your study target is a real number, not a guess.

AFQT Category Reference

CategoryAFQT PercentileEnlistment relevance
I93–99Highest-scoring band across all branches.
II65–92Broad eligibility for most enlisted jobs.
IIIA50–64Meets baseline enlistment threshold for most branches.
IIIB31–49Meets baseline enlistment threshold for most branches.
IVA21–30Enlistment is more restricted; branch policy varies by year.
IVB16–20Enlistment is more restricted; branch policy varies by year.
IVC10–15Enlistment is more restricted; branch policy varies by year.
V1–9Generally not eligible for enlistment.

AFQT category is derived from your Verbal (VE), Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), and Math Knowledge (MK) subtests. Beyond AFQT, each specific job (MOS/AFSC/rating/NEC) also requires its own line-score composite — those requirements are set and revised by each branch, not by ETS-style single owner, so no single official source consolidates them.

Branch + Job Coverage

We're compiling branch-specific line-score tables one job at a time so every number here can be checked against a current, cited official source rather than a recycled forum estimate. Coverage below reflects what has been verified so far.
