My son just took the ASVAB today and scored a 96. Apparently did not do well on mechanical but did well otherwise.
I don't know how these things are scored. Is 96 a good score? Will this help his chances of getting in to Army OCS, which is his ultimate goal?
Thank you!

Oh, and if anyone is wondering, he got a 132 for GT score. Apparently that is important?

A GT score of 110 will get you almost any MOS in the Army. If your son's recruiter can't get him the position he wants, tell him to hold out until they can. He's a commodity.
That ASVAB score of 96 is out of 99, so he can pick what he wants, within reason.

Awesome, my daughter recently commissioned. She had a BS in Business Administration with a 3.2 GPA. She started the process last September. Took a PT test and got a 247, got her Letters of Recommendation and went to MEPS. Went to basic training in February and completed OCS in August and is currently in BOLC. She is doing well and her last 3 PT tests have been 300+. It was quite a simple process for her and her Recruiter did his part in keeping the process moving. This is a good time to apply as they are trying to grow the force.

96 is really good..he can get any job he wants, highly recommend going directly to OCS, don't waste the talent, recruiters don't get much people with such high ASVAB so they will fight for it, but you getta realize that and play your cards make sure you get everything you want that Is out there, because what is and isn't in your contact matters and cant be altered down the road....mechanical wont matter unless he wants to do mechanical jobs, GT score is the only one matters and 132 is REALLY good.
GPA does not matter as much in the army until you transition out for federal or civilian jobs...it matters a bit in promotions but not as much, its still mainly his Army achievements and education/skills...APFT is important too so If he got that down hes got nothing to worry about..have fun, think deep, plan far and make good decisions, that's what army is all about really...best of luck to your son!
