ASVAB · Test Strategy for Assembling Objects

The ASVAB Assembling Objects subtest appears on which version of the test?

Correct answer

Only the paper ASVAB (Student ASVAB and MET-MEPS version) — it does NOT appear on the CAT-ASVAB used for final enlistment processing

  1. A Only the CAT-ASVAB at MEPS
  2. B Only the paper ASVAB (Student ASVAB and MET-MEPS version) — it does NOT appear on the CAT-ASVAB used for final enlistment processing
  3. C Both versions
  4. D Neither — it was removed in 2019

Why this is the answer

AO appears only on the PAPER ASVAB (given at high schools, Armed Forces Career Centers, and some MET-MEPS sites) — not on the CAT-ASVAB used for final enlistment at MEPS. AO does NOT contribute to the AFQT score that determines enlistment eligibility, but it does contribute to line scores used for some technical job qualifications. Students who take the high school ASVAB should still prepare for AO as it affects their initial occupational screening.
