ASVAB and Marine Corps Jobs
Jobs in the Marine Corps are called "MOS" (short for Military Occupational Specialty). To find the MOSes you qualify for, the Marine Corps 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 U.S. Marine Corps.
Marine Line Scores:
CL - Clerical: VE+AR+MK
EL - Electronics: GS+AR+MK+EI
GT - General Technical: VE+AR
MM - Mechanical Maintenance: NO+AS+MC+EI
ST - Skilled Technical: GS+VE+MK+MC
See the table below for Marine jobs and the corresponding minimum ASVAB line scores.
