When taking the
ASVAB test, each branch has different standards as to what your scores will mean, and the Marine Corps are no different.
The Marine Corps ASVAB enlistment requirements is a 32 on the AFQT portion of the test.The AFQT score is compiled from scores on the Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, and Arithmetic Reasoning subtests and, unless you
Score at least a 32, you won't qualify for enlistment in the Marine Corps.
If you have a GED instead of a high school diploma the AFQT score requirement is 50 but the Marines are one of the most accepting service branches for GED recruits as they make up five to ten percent of each year's recruitment class, but if this is the case, the minimum score of 50 is required to be able to qualify for the incentive programs such as bonuses and the MCCF.
The Marine Corps only have 3 line scores:
