How important is the test?
It is VERY important! The AFQT (Armed Forces Qualifying Test) determines if you're eligible to enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces. The AFQT also determines what you're qualified for in your occupational specialties. *Remember, the higher you score the test, the more options/chances of getting the specialty you want to pursue!*
