ASVAB and Army Jobs

Jobs in the Army are called "MOS" (short for Military Occupational Specialty).To find the jobs you qualify for, the Army breaks down your ASVAB subtest scores into groups known as line scores. The ASVAB subtests are: General Science (GS); Arithmetic Reasoning (AR); Word Knowledge (WK); Paragraph Comprehension (PC); Numerical Operations (NO); Coding Speed (CS); Auto and Shop Information (AS); Mathematics Knowledge (MK); Mechanical Comprehension (MC); Electronics Information (EI); and Sum of Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension (VE). Note that as Numerical Operations (NO) and Coding Speed (CS) subtests are phased out, some line scores may be changed.

Note: The data listed here is subject to change and is only an example of how ASVAB Scores are related to job selection for the Army.

Army Line Scores:

CL - Clerical: VE+AR+MK

CO - Combat: AR+CS+AS+MC

EL - Electronics: GS+AR+MK+EI

FA - Field Artillery: AR+CS+MK+MC

GM - General Maintenance: GS+AS+MK+EI

GT - General Technical: VE+AR

MM - Mechanical Maintenance: NO+AS+MC+EI

OF - Operators and Food: VE+NO+AS+MC

SC - Surveillance and Communications: VE+AR+AS+MC

ST - Skilled Technical: GS+VE+MK+MC

See the table below for Army jobs and the corresponding minimum ASVAB line scores.
