asvab for dummies is a great book to read. Do you know if he'll be taking the paper or electronic version?

Go to this link and save it to your computer...This will be the best ASVAB book you will find on
free on the web...

Secondly, This might confuse you, but I will post it just in case it doesn't. If you know which ratings he likes, he can gear his studing around those rating....
Example: Let say he wants to be a CTR. To qualify you need VE + AR = 109 or more, so why bust your
butt studying for GE, MK, EI, AS, MC, and AO. Just do your best on VE (which is WK & PC) and AR. If he score at least 109, then he will also qualify for CS, QM, AZ, IS, MC ratings since they require less than 109 to qualify.
Yea, I know, its confusing.... Imagine the software coding I had to do to make the Excel spread sheet work (which needs to be updated since some of the ratings have gone away)...

Wow!
My son has chosen a rating and scored fairly high (according to recruiter) on the computer test version. He was told he would take it over on paper and most likely score higher than on the electronic one. Can anyone confirm this by their own/son's/daughter's experience?
How do you find out what sub sections of the ASVAB are more heavily weighted for your chosen rating?

is better to study so you know some of everything. the navy is over manned and just because you want a particular rating (job) doesn't mean youll get it. you may want to an hm (hospital corpsman) but there may not be any openings. best thing to do is to test well in the asvab; and if you (he) makes it to meps be very open to jobs you will take

The chart found in above site shows the relationship in a simpler (easier to decipher) format.
