My soon to be 18 y.o son took the ASVAB at his high school in November of 2018.
His AFQT score is 67 and his line scores are M:43 A:71 G:62 G:60.
He visited an Air Force recruiter this week and was given a list of jobs that have a high probability of being available. He doesn't qualify for some of them because of his line scores. I still don't understand why the line scores aren't available from the ASVAB results but have to be given out by a recruiter. Anywho the recruiter suggested not retaking the ASVAB as he has witnessed more candidates scoring lower after a retake. I believe my son could score higher with study material.

If there are jobs available that your son is interested in, I would highly recommend he stays the course and picks one. I have to agree with the recruiter on this one. He's sacrificing a sure thing for a possibility if he retakes the test.

If your score meets the requirements for the job you want, no need to retake it. But if you want better options or didn’t do as well as you hoped, retaking can help. Just remember there’s usually a wait time between tests—usually 30 days after the first, then 6 months after the second.
Use the extra time to study and focus on your weak spots before retaking.:

Deciding whether to retake the ASVAB involves a few key considerations:
Current Scores: An AFQT score of 67 is good, but lower line scores may limit job options.
Potential for Improvement: If your son believes he can study effectively and improve, retaking could open up more opportunities.
Recruiter’s Advice: The recruiter’s observation about candidates scoring lower on retakes is valid. Test anxiety can affect performance.
In summary, if he’s motivated to prepare and targeting specific jobs, retaking could be beneficial. Otherwise, his current scores may suffice for available roles. If you still wondering about retaking the ASVAB, check this post out
