I am looking to re-enlist but to apply for OCS and come back in as an Officer. I originally took the ASVAB out of HS, during that time I had no idea what the test was or had ever considered joining the military until some months later (mind you this was 2008). After speaking with a recruiter, I was told that I could retake the ASVAB, however prior service is only allowed a one time go at a re-take. Anybody have insight into this or if this is true? I want to ensure I secure atleast a 110GT score to meet the qualifications for OCS, however I am extremely anxious now that if I don't make it-- that's my one and only shot.
Thanks!
Thanks!

That may be the rule for recruiting but once you're in the Army you can retake it as many times as you need, you just have to wait six months

Not sure about any prior service rules. Best advice is to study hard and do multiple practice test. https://www.4tests.com/asvab#StartExam
You know your scores so see how far off the GT score were you and focus of that. You can do it if you put your mind to it. Good luck.

There are a number of free ASVAB study guides online that can be good tools to increase your score. Do you remember you original GT score?

Original score was 104, only a few points shy-- but it's been a while and from what I have seen in the study guides my brain barely recalls half of the mathematic formulas, etc. I took a few practice tests, which I feel are probably way easier than the real thing and have landed between 112-115.

SGT Cherrelle Dove - There are also a number of pay for study guides that are supposed to be excellent. The one I have heard mentioned is the Peterson "Master the ASVAB". I haven't taken the ASVAB in almost 40 years and there are a ton more resources available to get you a better score than when I took it. Do some research and study up. I you are getting 115 on the practice, study a bit more and you shouldn't have any problems.
