Scaling the Proposed New Armed Forces Qualification Test Composed of Verbal, Arithmetic Reasoning, and Math Knowledge
Published Date: April 1, 1987
The Numerical Operations (NO) subtest has caused problems for the joint-service testing program since it was made part of the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) in 1980. A new AFQT, in which the Math Knowledge (MK) subtest replaces NO, was recommended by the Joint Service Selection and Classification Working Group in 1986. The purpose of this research memorandum is to present percentile score norms for the proposed new AFQT in the 1980 Youth Population and the scaling of the current forms of the AFQT to the 1980 score scale.
