For the ASVAB electronics information part of the exam, candidates must answer 16 questions in 8 minutes (or, for the written version of the exam: 20 questions in 9 minutes). Here, we take a few minutes to learn more about this fundamental part of the ASVAB exam.
The electronics information exam is about testing candidate’s knowledge of a basic comprehension of fundamental electrical principles. For example – candidates are expected to have a solid understanding of wiring, gauges, currents and conductors.
Candidates are also expected to understand the theory that underpins those electrical processes – for example: Ohm’s law – as well as the mathematical equations used to describe those processes.
With the right preparation, though, there is no reason why you cannot ace this part of the ASVAB test.
Army personnel are expected to have a rounded knowledge of science, electrical theory, math, word knowledge and paragraph comprehension and the ability to think critically; outside the box in a way that adds value to the team.
We are surrounded by electrical processes. They are everywhere. From laptops to lighting, from army equipment to the risks involved in entering a damaged and dilapidated building – you are and will be exposed to situations in which a rounded knowledge of electrical information proves invaluable.
To succeed in your chosen army career, then, you must understand the value that this knowledge can bring to the team. It not only motivates your study for the ASVAB electrical information exam, but it also motivates you to continue to advance your understanding of electrical processes far beyond the exam.
Once you appreciate the value this subject can bring, it encourages and energizes your willingness to learn far more than you need to.
Below, we’ve put together some sample ASVAB electronic information practice questions.
These questions reflect the style, substance and difficulty you can expect to encounter on the day of your exam. Don’t worry if you struggle with these questions. In the coming weeks and months, and in conjunction with our online program, you can prepare for and master this part of the ASVAB exam.
