Air Force ASVAB score requirements

High school seniors and graduates need an AFQT of at least 31 to join the Air Force, and GED holders need 50, as of October 2026. Without any of the listed education credentials, the bar is 65. On top of that, every career sets its own Air Force ASVAB score in one or more of four areas: Mechanical, Administrative, General and Electronics, known as MAGE.

What is a good ASVAB score for the Air Force?

One that clears the minimum for the careers you want. Look up each career’s MAGE area and score, then study the subtests that area uses. Officer candidates don’t take the ASVAB: they take the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT).

Is there an Air Force ASVAB practice test?

No separate one. The Air Force uses the same ASVAB as every branch, and its ASVAB page has a short set of sample questions. Our free practice test works the same way. The Air National Guard also requires the ASVAB.
