      @@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! 👍

    For the question 9, there is another way of solving it. The 7% converts to 0.7 and the wage went up, so then 8.15 + 0.7 = 8.85
    From the options the wage received per hour after the profit made nearest is 8.72 . Your video is very helpful. Always keep it up.

    For question 4 I think there’s an easier way to do it where you set the equation up like, (93+89+96+98+X)/5 = 95,
    Then multiply 95 by 5 which equals 475 then subtract by 376 which equals 99. Great videos keep up the good work helping me study for the ASVAB.

    In number 8 9:18, The correct answer is D. 60,000 cards. correct me if im wrong
    At 50,000 cards (letter C), the plant breaks even because the profit from the cards equals the fixed overhead of $6,000. However, to make a profit, the plant needs to sell more than 50,000 cards. The next closest option is 60,000 cards (letter D), where the plant makes a profit of $1,200.

    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
