Arithmetic Reasoning — Study Guide

A rectangular pool is 25 ft by 10 ft. A deck 4 ft wide surrounds the pool. What is the area of the deck?

Show Explanation

Step 1: What do you want?

Read the question: "What is the area of the deck?"

Step 2: What do you have?

Pool = 25 ft × 10 ft

Deck width = 4 ft (surrounds all sides)

pool 25×10 4 4 deck surrounds pool

Step 3: What's the connection?

First: Find outer dimensions (add 4 to BOTH sides):

$$\text{Outer length} = 25 + 4 + 4 = 33 \text{ ft}$$ $$\text{Outer width} = 10 + 4 + 4 = 18 \text{ ft}$$

Then: Deck area = Outer area − Pool area:

$$\text{Deck} = (33 \times 18) - (25 \times 10)$$ $$\text{Deck} = 594 - 250 = 344 \text{ ft}^2$$

Answer: 344 ft²

Mathematics Knowledge

Solve for \(x\): $$3(6x + 9) + 9 = 126$$

Show Explanation

Step 1: What do you want?

We need to find the value of x.

Step 2: What do you have?

Equation: 3(6x + 9) + 9 = 126

There are parentheses with a 3 in front. We distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses only (not the + 9 outside), then combine like terms and solve.

Step 3: Distribute, combine like terms, then solve

3(6x + 9) + 9 = 126

18x + 27 + 9 = 126

18x + 36 = 126

18x + 36 − 36 = 126 − 36

18x = 90

18x ÷ 18 = 90 ÷ 18

x = 5

Check: 3(6(5) + 9) + 9 = 3(30 + 9) + 9 = 3(39) + 9 = 117 + 9 = 126 ✔

Answer: 5 (Choice C)

Paragraph Comprehension — Study Guide
October is known for its vibrant foliage and cool temperatures, signaling the arrival of fall in many regions. It's also a popular time for outdoor activities like apple picking and hayrides. Moreover, it's the month where pumpkin spice flavors dominate menus everywhere.

Which of the following sentences best continues the passage?

Show Explanation

Ask yourself: What has the passage been doing? It's listing fun things associated with October — "vibrant foliage," "outdoor activities like apple picking and hayrides," and "pumpkin spice flavors."

The pattern is clear: pleasant fall traditions. The next sentence should continue that theme.

A fits perfectly — Halloween decor and costumes are another beloved October tradition. It continues the list of enjoyable seasonal activities.

Why the others are wrong:

B) This is a jarring shift! The passage is upbeat and celebratory. Jumping to "increased car accidents" breaks the positive tone completely.

C) This introduces a random person (Jane) who was never mentioned. The passage is about October in general, not any individual's experience.

D) True fact, but totally off-topic. The passage is about fun fall activities, not historical economic disasters.

General Science

In a certain breed of flowers, the allele for red petals (R) is dominant over the allele for white petals (r). If a heterozygous red-petaled flower is crossed with a white-petaled flower, what is the expected ratio of red-petaled to white-petaled offspring?

Show Explanation

The answer is A — 1:1 ratio.

The heterozygous red-petaled flower has the genotype Rr, and the white-petaled flower has the genotype rr. When crossed, the possible genotypes of the offspring are Rr (red petals) and rr (white petals). The expected ratio is therefore 1:1, meaning half of the offspring will have red petals, and half will have white petals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AFQT score?

The AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score is a percentile ranking derived from four ASVAB subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Word Knowledge (WK), and Paragraph Comprehension (PC). It determines your eligibility to enlist in all branches of the U.S. military. Scores range from 1 to 99, with higher percentiles meaning you scored better than more test-takers.

What AFQT score do I need to enlist?

Minimum AFQT scores vary by branch: Army requires 31, Marines 32, Navy 35, Air Force 36, and Coast Guard 36. However, most recruiters recommend scoring above 50 to qualify for more job options (MOS/ratings). Competitive MOS selections often require scores of 60 or higher. Read our full ASVAB scores guide for a complete breakdown.

Is this practice test really free?

Yes, completely free with no credit card required. You get all 75 questions across 5 subtests, instant AFQT percentile and GT score calculations, and video or written solutions for every question. Create a free account to get started.

How is the AFQT score calculated?

The AFQT score is calculated from your raw scores on four subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Word Knowledge (WK), and Paragraph Comprehension (PC). These raw scores are converted to standard scores using population norms, then combined into a percentile ranking. Our practice test uses the same scoring methodology.

What is a GT score?

The GT (General Technical) score is a composite score calculated from your Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Word Knowledge (WK), and Paragraph Comprehension (PC) standard scores. Many military jobs — especially technical and leadership roles — require a minimum GT score of 100-110. Our practice test calculates your estimated GT score alongside your AFQT percentile. Learn how to raise your GT score.

What subtests are included in this practice test?

This practice test includes all 5 subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) — 16 questions, Mathematics Knowledge (MK) — 16 questions, Word Knowledge (WK) — 16 questions, Paragraph Comprehension (PC) — 11 questions, and General Science (GS) — 16 questions. The first four count toward your AFQT score, while GS is a bonus subtest.
