  • In this video, I show you what it takes to master the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Specifically, I work out some challenging problems from a full-length practice exam. If you found the content in this video helpful, please consider donating to me directly via PayPal: www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr....
    CORRECTION(S):
    The answer to question 19 should be "B." At the end of the problem, you should notice that I forgot to carry the "2." That said, the rest of the problem is correct.

    #19 the answer should be B ?
    You made a mistake.
    Multiplying 18.4 * 3 = 55.2 if you round it up and 55.1 if you dont.
    3 time 8 is 24. You carried 1 to the next number instead of two. Been trying to figure why my math was different from yours for almost two hours.

    • @GrammarHero
      @GrammarHero  5 років тому +19

      That is correct. I forgot to carry the "2." One of the hardest parts of the ASVAB is doing all of the arithmetic without making simple mistakes.

      Hey bro how did you study for word knowledge ? And is everything on the test that he shows us ? For the math section?

    • @TheLucky7z
      @TheLucky7z 4 роки тому +3

      Yo Trippy for the word knowledge section, I would study roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Also, just try to read everyday. You’ll definitely learn new words that way. For the math section, study ALL of the formulas. I guarantee you’ll see questions that require the formula. And for the arithmetic reasoning, do a lot of practice. And yes, the questions you see in this video will most likely be in the asvab. It’s just worded differently.

    Hi. For question 6 shouldn't the answer be A. i have noticed that you have given the time for each group but the question really ask to give the time for each soldier? There are 4 groups with 10 soldier in each, group will get 15 mins of tanning but each soldier will get 1.5mins right?

    So on #26 I did it a different way, when solving myself still got the right answer. Check it out so 1 in 1/2 = 0.5 so i just multiplied 35.80 by .5 and I got 17.9, then I divided 17.9 by 10 because of 10 packs in a carton, I got 1.79 then I just multiplied 1.79 by 3, my final answer was ($5.37). What do you think of this method?

But of course I would love to score higher... Please reply to me if you can!! It would mean the world.

    How many would you say you have to get right just to get a decent score?

    • @GrammarHero
      @GrammarHero  4 роки тому

      Because some practice tests are very easy and others are much harder, I would say you should be getting between 65 to 80% of the practice questions right to obtain a decent score.

  • @CFranklin981

    For #5 shouldn’t the answer be d? Since it asked for only the number of consecutive days which was five not including the initial $2 payment.

    • @GrammarHero
      @GrammarHero  5 років тому +4

      Personally, I don't like that problem, and I really thought about skipping it. According to the answer key:
      "(B) Subtract the first day’s breakfast charge from the total: $8.25 - $2 = $6.25. Then divide the remainder by $1.25 to determine the number of additional consecutive days the customer ate breakfast: . Add those five days to the first day the special was eaten to find out that the customer ate the breakfast special for six consecutive days."

      Tbh Juststop Imagine them like quarters. 4 quarters equal to 1 dollar right? So 1/4 would be the same as 25¢ out of 1 dollar, hopefully I make sense
