I scored a 102 in the MM category and I needed to get a 104 for the job 15T. Can my recruiter round my score up?

Nope. Only way to get higher score is retake it. They have classes to help you study and books. Good luck.

Your recruiter doesn't even have access to your score. The MEPS controls your score. You can find some asvab study guides to practice before you retake it

1st retest is a 1 month wait, subsequent tests after that is 6 months.

Look at your GT score on your scores. That’s the only one that will matter once you’re in. Make sure it is a 110 or above.

If that was a thing it would actually round to 100. You can retake the test. Just prep properly and have a good meal and a good nights sleep. You can do it.

If your recruiter is knowledgeable, some things may be waverable. Meaning you would require a waiver to be signed by an adjudicating authority in the Army to authorize the lower score to be okay for the job. So ask if they have a waiver for those numbers!
A long time ago I needed a one and they granted me one - only reason I know they exist!

Hell naw, MEPS doesn’t grade the ASVAB on a curve. If they did recruiters would have no trouble making mission.

Aviation-based jobs do not like to give out line score exceptions for good reason. That said, you need to study up and retake the ASVAB. Make sure you talk to your recruiter about local ASVAB prep options and check out ASVAB study options online. Best of luck to you!

Why aren't you asking your recruiter?

Since you have a qualifying score; your recruiter is not authorized to retest you. Although, many recruiters do not know this in Army Regulation 601-210. That’s lucky for you! I read that you asked about the PICAT. PICAT is only authorized for people that never took the ASVAB. Furthermore, PICAT can only be taken one time. That’s it.
I would certainly suggest joining the Army with the score that you earned and simply take the ‘Fast Class’ while your serving. Please stay away from “ASVAB for Dummies.” It is the cheapest book out there & you get what you pay for! Bottom line: you must ask yourself, “What if 15T is not out there anymore?” Lastly, why waist time; the sooner you join the more time accumulated for retirement and other benefits. Good luck!

No Austin the Recruiter can not round up your score. But you can better your score by a little study and retaking the test.

I was once a recruiter 00E40 and a Retention NCO 79D30. The rounding up would create an erroneous enlistment as well as charges for the Recruiter.
