Are you allowed to retake the ASVAB if you don't meet the score requirement for the MOS you want? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/are-you-allowed-to-retake-the-asvab-if-you-don-t-meet-the-score-requirement-for-the-mos-you-want <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was wondering are you allowed to retake the ASVAB is you dont meet the score requirement for the MOS you want? I want to go into the reserves and get an MOS that will benefit me with my business and help with my civilian life. Looking for any kind of excavation stuff. I was told that the base i am looking at going into has equiptment operator. I would really like this that way it can help me with my civilian life as a business owner and give me further schooling and experience in my trade. But if i dont meet the score requirements am i allowed a retake or is it SOL. If im not allowed a retake will i be able to turn back and not continue with the USMC and just say ah not for me right now. Or am i commited once i sighn up for MEPS? I talked a little bit to my recruiter about the ASVAB I took at school just cause and told him i scored vary poorly. He said not to worry that their was and easier test i could take that was like the ASAB anyone know what he is talking about? Is it easier to score higher and more likely to help you get the MOS you want. Anyone know of any other excavation type jobs besides equiptment operator?

You could literally do everything at MEPS, get to the part where you sign your contract, change your mind and go home. Especially if that contract didn&#39;t have what you wanted. Don&#39;t sign anything that doesn&#39;t explicitly state that you&#39;re getting exactly what you asked for.<br /><br /> As far as an easier test, I&#39;m not sure. I&#39;d imagine you&#39;d just have to retake the ASVAB and score higher. There are all kinds of test-prep books available to help you get the scores you need for the job you want. Best of luck to you!

I believe you can retake it after 2 years for an improvement. It cost the government money to administer that test and it isn&#39;t cheap. So they will not let you retest if you passed. As for this easy test, no idea what your recruiter is talking about. Everyone must take and pass the ASVAB.

You do not have to go past taking the test. Your test results will tell the Services where to put you- we are not concerned with your life in the civilian world nor insuring your business growth. That may sound hard, but we are here for the service to the Nation, not personal gain. If that bothers you, then this life is not for you.
