Thank you!!! I went from a 46 to a 64 on my asvab
Fantastic!
@@ColfaxMathcan you help me out please
I watched all of this guys ASVAB videos and just took the AFCT (ASVAB retest for prior service) and scored an 84 with a 121 GT. This is definitely the best ASVAB prep channel on UA-cam!
Kind words, thank you
Im definitely prepping to the AFCT and been watching alot of the AR and MK videos. GT score is 103 and need a 110 or higher. Dantes.Peterson moduled is a good source to use to use also.
got a 98 for on GT. need a 105+ for recon. leaving for bootcamp in two days. 03xx contract for the marine corps. since i can’t volunteer for recon at soi with my current score ill have to take the afct after i hit the fleet and get more proficient in the pool. then ill hit up the screener. thank you for your service man 🇺🇸
@@kakashikey thank you for your service
Question Pls, do you get to use calculators?
I've been out of high school for 3 years and have not touched half this math in years, having this resource is amazing and thank you for putting it out
Thank you, good luck
ive been out for 13 years. wish me luck xD
@@chaneybuchanan8972 good luck
Colfax Math, I’d like to thank you so much for your videos. I passed with GT 111 today and is on the way to commission as a 2LT in the army. It was all because I watched your videos. You made complicated concepts so easy. THANK YOU SMM!!!!
I hope you know that your videos are appreciated :))) I hope your pillow is cold at night
Thank you
You need to take the asvab to commission???
I’m in ROTC, your telling me my asvab score will determine my branch? Apart from my OML?!
@@BarryzClips7you need at least at110 gt score to commission
@@nauticamoshay5331 bullshit. If your in ROTC your commission depends on your OML
Just wanted to say thank you very much for helping me get a good score on my ASVAB! I watched all your prep videos and they helped me get nearly 20 points above my projected score! I highly recommend this channel for anyone studying for the ASVAB! 👍👍
Great to hear
Was some of these on the test cause some MK was on there
@@hollywoodclipp Yes! The problems he’s doing in the videos are very similar to the questions you’ll find on the test. I noticed MK had a lot of algebra questions.
@@johnnygage yeah cause I took the picat and I notice some same math problems so I wanted to know if the same AR WAS ON THERE AS well do you remember some of the questions you got any extra tips for me I take it on Thursday
@@hollywoodclipp Ah I see. I can’t remember any at the top of my head, tbh. It was a lot of stats questions involving fractions, traveling mph, square footage/finding area for AR and a lot of algebra equations, multiplying square roots/exponents, PEMDAS, etc for MK. Science is a lot of biology, physics, and chem. WK just study a lot of prefixes/suffixes and PC is pretty easy just a lot of reading. There’s lots of practice tests/study guides you can find online and ASVAB for Dummies is probably the best book that covers all the material. Get a good night’s sleep, stay focused, and you’ll do great! Best of luck to you! You got this! 👍
Wish I had a math teacher as good as this teacher. I'm able to completely understand what he's saying with no kind of struggling at all which is a talent.
Great to hear, thank you
Ive been practicing for my test and these have been pretty intuitive. Sadly I’ve forgotten more than I’ve remembered so I just need to keep watching
Yes keep studying and doing problems on paper, it will start to come back to you
Some of these were hard to grasp at first but eventually I got it. Your videos did help me! I got a 72 overall and a 69 on my afqt. Was able to swear into the dep 2 days ago. Now I’m just waiting for a MOS to open up. Thank you!
Congratulations, good score
Any tips for the afqt
@@johnslum8371 get the as an for dummies book and just do the practice tests over and over again. Then get a book about practice math problems and equations. That book really helped me with the fundamentals without a calculator
i love how he shows his work & explains how he got his answer.
very easy to interpret & understand why he got that answer, and what he had did to come up with that answer.
love this channel
Very good to hear, thank you
it really brings me back to my high school math class from 10 years ago. i love it!
Thank you
I like how smooth and simple you make a complicated problem look easy In Seconds
Thank you, it's just practice
I appreciate you so much for sharing this information for free. Your tips and tricks are very helpful and is helping my mind with trying to study for my test again.
Great to hear, thank you
This video is amazing. You’ve given me a new way to process !
Great to hear
Haven’t done math since 11th been 3 years this refreshed my mind thank you
Good to hear, thank you
Thank you so much for this video. You explained it perfectly and I understood everything without even doing the problems myself. Thank you so much.
Great to hear, thank you
Best video, thanks for making that. That helps me lot. I really appreciate it.
Glad to hear it
Im so freaking exhausted.. ive been studying nonstop for IT certifications and this was in my recommended.. no clue why. But im just sitting here watching 😂
Good luck on your IT certification
bro i’ve been studyin 8 hour day 1.5 hours of fitness just so i can be applicable for aircraft maintenance
@@dominicsoto2385That seems a bit much, don't burn yourself out like that, my advice is study for 1-2 hours with 5-10 minute breaks every 20 minutes, just like your muscles your brain needs to rest too
Yoo they need to give you an award ! I’m talking my ASVAB this up coming Friday & the only portions I was concerned about was arithmetic & math ! But watching all your videos & taking notes I’m fully confident I love how you explained it & broke things down. A great refresher for me ❤
did you pass? im taking mine on monday
Thank you
haven’t been in school since i graduated in 2021. This makes way more sense than being at school😭
Didnt touch math for long time back to it made my head blow up
Now's the time to learn it
The best Channel 5 ⭐️
Thank you
Your pedagogy is on point
Thank you
I appreciate these videos a lot, i have never studied for anything before in my life except for the asvab and videos like these have been a great help. Im heading over to the MEPS station in boston this thursday wish me luck!
Good luck
Thanks brother this help I am studying for the savab for the military. I have the book
Good luck
this is so helpful thank you!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear that
Preciate it
Thanks!
Thank you
Great stuff, question:
Question#8 is asking for a profit point, not the amount to cover the overhead. The answer 50,000 would only be the breakeven point. Please advise.
Thank you, very helpful.
I think I can be deciphered either way
Good evening, I'm taking my ASVAB this Friday Feb 9 2024. I didn't do good in school but thanks for this video I'm learning even a little bit. I'll be back here and give you an update about my test this Friday. Feeling Nervous cuz I'm dumb as hell.
Good luck, keep working at it
How was your test??
Did you pass ??
Best ever
Thank you
hi there sir - just for clarification, problem number 8 - would the answer be D ? since they are wanting to make a profit not break even ? awesome video btw!
I think that would be correct
i have a question about question number 10, how you get the 22.5
The problem I struggle with these word problems is determining what operation of math I need to use. It makes me waste so much time trying to figure it out and then I eventually have to guess to move on
I know it's hard, practice helps
Very helpful, Thank man. Jesus loves you. Know that 😊❤️
Thank you
Are you able to write down number or you have to do it in your head while in the test?
If you are taking the test online, you are allowed scratch paper
Going AF Special Forces PJ, in the military in Sept, and going to MEPS on Sunday, I studied your videos for a while and now I passed the long practice test ( 4 HRS ) the other day with a 66, thanks for everything, I can't even believe am here, it's fucking crazy. Never give up and fuck the haters.
Btw how did you do question 4?
Good luck
@@ColfaxMath Q4?
Retaken my asvab for the 4th time tomorrow really hope for the best
Good luck
Wow
Thanks
Does he help break down for the practice test as well?
Yes, I think he does
ahh that makes sense to round the answer and eliminate
i never done that
Glad it helped
How did you get 22.5 for question 10? I know it has to do with the 30 more minutes, but I don’t get the 22.5.
45 miles per hour, 30 minutes would be 22.5 miles since it’s half of 45
Colfax math what would you recommend for someone like my self who doesn't have any math foundation to stand on im currently working to pass the asvab to be an Infantry man but im struggling
I have a playlist called foundations of math, work your way through that, maybe a video a day. Take notes, do problems as you work your way through. You can do it
so for the first question my steps would be to multiply 3.50 x 12 and i got the answer of $42, (im just studying and doing the work posting my answer to see if the way i did my steps are correct and proficient
Good way to go
sir where did you get the 22.5 in the last problem ? did you just put it because you know the situation?
Travels 45 miles per hour so on half an hour it has to be half the distance. I took the 44 and cut it in half to get the 22.5
On question 8, it’s asking us how many cards we have to print to make a PROFIT if we go with C wouldn’t we breaking even? Am I missing something?
Yes that's correct
You make math easy
thank you
How is the answer C for #7? One square yard is 9 feet. I’m so confused. I understand the whole 3 ft in a yard thing but I thought you’d need to divide by 9, not 3.
I converted the yards to feet first then found the area, you could do the problem either way
6:16 Wait how does the .12 turn into 14? I’m trying to follow and write an example and that part confuses me?
I multiplied the .12 to the number to get 45,
I took my test two weeks ago got 6 and fail need atleast 4 weeks to study 😢I left school 20yrs ago really need to pass for the navy but the maths &the arithmetic reasoning is so complicated and confusing I dnt knw if I will ever pass😢
Study every day and you can pass
I'm in the same boat. I take the ASVAB tomorow. 20 years since I've done math in school.
You will pass
#10 you got 22.5 from where I’m so lost
In qestion 8 doesn’t it ask to make profit ? Not break even ?
At what point would you start making a profit which is at the break even point
@@ColfaxMath but 50,000 cards wouldnt make profit so it would be 60,000. Anything over 50,000 would be considered profit
50k is the break even, over is profit@@YourMom-yr9kd
On #4 how did you get 376 when adding all of them? I got 366. Am I missing something?
He add 99 divide by five
Is calculator or cellphone allowed during taking asvab?
Check with your recruiter
I can’t do math at all
Yes you can, keep working at it and over time it will come together. Go slow and start with the basics
Can you elaborate on questions 7 i got A
you're correct bro.
I converted to yards first, 3 feet equal 1 yard so the 18 feet becomes 6 yards, the other side is close to 5 yards so approximately 30 square yards
Dude i have actual dyscalculia and idk if im gonna pass this asvab at all this is gonna be my third time taking it😭😭
Keep studying and you will do fine
For question 7 I’m only getting answers for B and D
The units given are feet and you are asked for square yards. Three feet equal one yard. After you divide the lengths by three and multiply them you get approximately 30 yards times the amount
For #10 how did you get 22.5 ?
By the time her husband has caught up to her, she had traveled 157.5 mi. (45 mi x 3.5 hrs) The husband must travel that same distance in 3 hours. 157.5 mi/3 = 52.5 mph
How did you get the 4 on the 1st problem?
It was just an approximation. I rounded the 3.5 up to 4 so I could multiply it in my head, then looked at the possible choices and saw that there was only one answer that was close.
@@ColfaxMath Thank your for your help. The answer his 54 mph
If Alice drove R=45 mph , T=3 hours, D=R.T, D=135,
Dave have to drive at the same distance to catch Alice . So D=135 , his time : T=3h- 0.5 h(30min)=2.5 h .To found his speed, R=D/T, R=135/2.5, R=54mph
How is 30 minutes equal to 22.5 ?
That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out.
Alice is traveling 45 miles per hour, 30 minutes is half of one hour, so if she is going 45mph that means in 30 min she travels 22.5 miles or half of 45
Im going be in the military police so I gotta study before I take this test.
Yes, keep studying
Question is where did you pull the 22.5 out of? I don’t understand
What problem are you talking about?
@@ColfaxMath Number 10!
@@ColfaxMathYeah so how did u even get the 22.5 when adding it up? Hello
@@pushvedula564045 MPH divided by 2 because he is looking for the number of miles traveled in 30 minutes.
@@jacobbell3429 ohhh ok
How come with “thirty minutes later” you just knew it was converted to 22.5, I am really stuck how you came to that reasoning for 30 minutes
She's going 45 mph,
30 minutes=1/2 an hour
so in 1/2 an hour she'll travel only 1/2 of 45mph which is =22.5 :)
@@mikaylahicks7204BEAUTIFUL
these are the EXACT same questions that were on the picat
with that being said never try to memorize answers but memorize how the answers are gotten
Good to know
Very good advice
The video is showing blur to me🤔
I just went back and checked it, I didn't get any blur. Sorry to hear
I scored 19 in my last practice test with my recruiter im so dumb…
Keep working at it
Me too I’m still trying
Number 10 how u get 22.5 if u said 30mins
Nvm 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
what kinda tv is that i need one for that pen lol
ViewSonic
Prey I passs everybody
Good luck
Just failed the Asvab 😢 got a 19 percentile
Keep studying, learn the ideas, take a ton of practice tests and revisit it again. You can do it with work
Got a 16 today i really wanna join so i'm just gonna try to work on my math and English. Sadly i have forgotten basically everything from high school but i will my best to pass the next test just gotta study hard and smart.
Bro i just got the same score a few days ago in my practice test with my recruiter, did u make it?
@@pikarick1953 Not yet still got two weeks before i vsn take it again, gonna try studying the math and English section but i think I'll be alright doesn't matter how much you fail, just don't give up. I wish you good luck my man i'm sure you can do it.
for #7, doesn't one squared yard equal 9? There is 3 ft in a yard so 1 squared yard would be 9 square feet
Correct
W
Thank you, glad it helped
@@ColfaxMathW in internet slang means win, so he’s saying by listening to you he’s winning. Like the game. You’re helping us win the game. Thank you sir 🙏🏼
@@EndingVisions good to know, thank you
On 4 the answer is A 100 not B 99
Ok
You dont explain you js set it up n give answer i cant understand bc how do you know when to devide or x
Sorry it wasn't helpful
I tow truck never cost 42$
Not any more
uh
Yep
I dont understand a damn thing
How did you get 22.5 when it says 30 minutes ? Did you subtract something ?
What problem are you on
Thanks!
Very kind of you
why is number 4 not a. 100 makes the average 95
100 Makes the total 476, divided by 5 gives 95.2 a little bit off
