Solving life s little (math) problems Reviewing essential basic math Multiplying your chances for a better score

ow many miles-per-gallon does your brand-new SUV get How long does it take to go over the river and through the woods to Grandmother s house How much wood could a woodchuck chuck These are examples of common everyday questions that can be answered by arithmetic reasoning (Okay, maybe the woodchuck situation doesn t happen everyday)

Arithmetic Reasoning is the ASVAB way of saying word problems Word problems help you apply mathematical principles to the real world (at least the real world according to the people who think up word problems) And the Arithmetic Reasoning subtest measures your ability to do real-life, basic, mathematical calculations derived from simple word problems If you slept through high-school math, don t worry This chapter helps you decipher these mathematical equations The Arithmetic Reasoning subtest asks you to read a word problem, determine what the question asks, and select the correct answer (Then you have to repeat the process 29 more times) The test administrator should supply you with scratch paper and a trusty number two pencil one thing they won t give you (or even let you bring) is a calculator You can use your paper and lead to clarify the data, write formulas, and mathematically solve the problem You can even use them to draw pretty pictures to help you understand the problem Don t get too artistic, though you only have 36 minutes to answer 30 questions That comes out to only 1 minute and 12 seconds per question Arithmetic Reasoning is an important part of the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) score, which is used to determine your general qualification for enlistment in all the service branches (See 1 for more information) Also, certain military jobs require that you score well on this subtest Turn to the Appendix to find out which jobs require what scores on this subtest In order to do well on the Arithmetic Reasoning subtest, you have to remember that there are two parts: arithmetic and reasoning You usually have to use both of these skills for each problem The arithmetic part comes in when you have to perform mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division The reasoning comes in when you figure out what numbers to use in your calculations In other words, Arithmetic Reasoning tests how you apply your ability to perform calculations to everyday, real-life problems
