AFQT
FY 2000
Selected Reserve NPS accessions are compared with civilian youth by AFQT
category, gender, and Reserve Components in Table 5.7. The percentage
of Reserve male recruits who scored in AFQT Categories I to IIIA was greater
than for comparable civilians (61 versus 50 percent). Seventy-five to
80 percent of USMCR, ANG, and USAFR NPS male accessions were in AFQT Categories
I through IIIA, compared to 50 percent in the civilian group. Approximately
60 percent of ARNG and USAR NPS male recruits scored in AFQT Categories
I to IIIA. The differences between scores of female recruits and their
comparable civilian group were similar to male accessions; however, ARNG
NPS female recruits scored 2 percentage points higher in AFQT Categories
IĀIIIA than the comparable civilian group.
