Why is so much stock placed into this, and what does it provide for the SM? 2020-01-07T19:18:54-05:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 5423670

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Pretty much every job worth having requires a 110 GT. That&#39;s about as straightforward as you&#39;ll get.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A 110 is pretty easy to get with some studying and following the guidelines of BSEP course.<br />A 110 doesn&#39;t do anything for you. A better question is what requires a 110? Commissioning, several job positions, broadening assignments, and units require a 110 GT, and it&#39;s not waivable. But if you don&#39;t plan on commissioning, or applying to a special duty that requires a certain GT, then it has no effect on you.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My highest score was 126... 114 out of high school..I only had 9th grade math and English... but the lesson is how you work with your score... I have a high IQ<br />.. But a very low EQ, thus major behavioral and mental problems... resulting in CPL rank after 16 good years in a span of 30 years.. all honorable service...barely at times... I also sudied the ASVAB and used the ARCO study guide to raise my score..The lowest score I&#39;ve seen in the Army NG is 17.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As Mr. John C stated it opens a lot of doors. I know several guys that are taking classes to try and improve their score so they can attend WOC or OCS or do a re-class.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It&#39;s a mark on a yardstick. <br /><br />The military figures if you can hit certain benchmarks, you might do well in certain roles. It&#39;s no guarantee that any given service member with a high GT score will equate to excellence in whatever role requires a high score, but they probably have corelating evidence that shows one is more likely to do well if they can earn a high score; hence the benchmark.
