When I entered the Army I had 92 GT Score, this because I did not know much English when you listed. I have taken BSEP twice and both times I have taken 108. I am interested in going to OCS or Warrant Officer. I have a Master's degree, and I would not like to remain enlisted. Someone could help me with more information.

There is absolutely no GT waiver for commissioning. You'll have to study more math and English to raise your GT.

Not that the army makes sense, but it would be severely lacking if they required a registered nurse to take the ASVAB. I dont think a 110 is really all that hard to achieve, is it?

MAJ Byron Oyler if you were prior Enlisted I assume you already had a 110 and might not have noticed the requirement. But I also know that AMEDD is capable of waivering things that other programs won't. Also, yours wasn't a program, but a direct commission, which basically bypasses all types of rules once you're accepted. I think that may be why direct commissions have been all but eliminated these days as well.

CW4 Byron Dean - That may have been around, just never ran into it or had any of my command request it. I thought there was a method of raising the GT score, you can retest in your not in the service, but didn't know the procedure when you were active.

I've taken all three. The SAT is by far the harder test.

SPC Torres,
What is your component? Active Duty, Reserves, National Guard? If Active Duty, call a retention office and ask. If Reserves, do the same and call a Reserves recruiter and see if they can point in the right direction. If National Guard, call your State's Officer Strength Manager and see if they can help you. If all that fails, start digging into the regulations such as AR 350-51. You can find all the regulations at Army Publishing Directorate (https://armypubs.army.mil).
However, you aren't far from the required 110 GT score. Grab an ASVAB study guide, such as the one by Rod Powers available on Amazon, and hit the Education Center. That would probably be faster than obtaining a waiver, but you should always work all angles to reach your goal.
Good luck.

Im Active Duty, I read the regulation just as you told me and there are no waivers for OCS. But I understood that if your BN CDR knows about you and knows about your efforts and achievements in the short time you have been in the Army, they can make some exceptions. When I took the ASVAB I got 95 GT Score and when I took the BSEP I managed to raise it to 108, I don't know if that improvement is interesting for them. In February I have the opportunity to take the BSEP again, I hope in God to get a better score.
