AFCT case studies

The Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT) is the military's reclassification instrument: it gives enlisted service members another opportunity to post line scores used for job assignment, retraining, and certain school or program prerequisites. It is not a separate career exam with its own curriculum - it draws on the same academic content areas as the initial entrance battery, covering word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, arithmetic reasoning, mathematics knowledge, general science, electronics information, auto and shop information, and mechanical comprehension. Because the test is administered through military testing channels, eligibility rules, which subtests you may take, and how scores are used are set by your service and your local testing office rather than by any outside prep company. Preparation is straightforward and self-directed: diagnose weak areas with a timed practice set, then work systematically on the content behind your misses - vocabulary in context, multi-step word problems, basic algebra and geometry, simple circuits and mechanical advantage, tool and automotive fundamentals. The AFCT case studies are 5 cases and about 1,892 words.
