The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is a timed test that is meant to determine where 
your strengths and abilities lie as far as your enlisting in the armed services is concerned. When 
you join the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines, you will need to be placed into some sort of job 
training. Obviously, if you're not good with mechanics, you won't be placed in the field working on 
broken down Army tanks. By taking the ASVAB, the branch of military you enter will know right 
away which course you should follow. So now that you know what the ASVAB is, you may be 
wondering, "Where can I take the ASVAB test?" That is a question you should ask a military 
recruiter near you. 
Shopping Malls and Centers 
If you've spent any time in the mall or in your nearest shopping center, it's likely that you've seen 
a military recruiting center. These usually have large front windows full of Army, Navy, Air Force 
and Marine decorations. The purpose of these stations is to find worthy recruits to add to our 
nation's ranks. These recruiters will not only answer your question, "Where can I take the ASVAB 
test?" But most recruiters will help you study for the test, as well. 
Helping You Study 
A recruiter needs to maintain a certain quota in order to remain in good standings. That means a 
certain number of recruits must pass the tests and actually enter the branch of the Armed Forces 
that recruiter represents. So you now see why a recruiter would have such an interest in helping 
you study. 
Where to Find the Test 
When you ask, "Where can I take the ASVAB test?" it's likely that you're out of high school. Most 
high schools offer the test to Junior and Senior level students as a way to test the students' 
vocational abilities. Recruiters will visit high schools to administer the test, though parents are 
allowed to opt their children out at any time. 
If you're out of high school, your recruiter will know exactly when and where the test is being held. 
And the recruiter will probably make it his or her personally responsibility that you show up and 
give the test your all. So if you're wondering, "Where can I take the ASVAB test?" It's a good 
chance that you're just thinking about joining the military but you haven't actually spoken to a 
recruiter yet. If you had, you'd probably be studying for the ASVAB right this moment knowing full-well 
where and when it's being held at a school near you.

As you are preparing for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery or ASVAB, you will likely 
come across many mathematical examples that appear to require the use of complicated square 
roots. Given that you are not allowed to use a calculator, it is in your best interest to prepare a few 
tricks in advance that you can apply during the exam. 
One of these tricks is to come prepared to the exam having memorized a set value of perfect 
squares. Knowing these numbers will help you apply these calculations to more complex 
problems without having to try to figure out how to do a pen and paper equation on the actual 
exam. 
The first thing you want to do is memorize a standard set of square roots going backwards, 
meaning you want to memorize the values found by multiplying a number by itself 
1 x 1 = 1
2 x 2 = 4 
3 x 3 = 9 
4 x 4 = 16 
5 x 5 = 25 
6 x 6 = 36 
7 x 7 = 49 
8 x 8 = 64 
9 x 9 = 81 
10 x 10 = 100 
11 x 11 = 121 
12 x 12 = 144 
and last but not least, yes this does come up 
15 x 15 = 625 
These seem simple now and perhaps you already know them but have to think for a minute to get 
the answer. When you get to the ASVAB, you will not be able to afford the time to struggle or 
have to work it out on pen and paper. 
Therefore I recommend that you study these so well that you can answer them backwards and 
forwards. What do I mean by backwards? Now that we know which numbers multiplied by itself 
give you another value, now you have to be able to answer them backwards. 
So if I ask you, "What is the square root of 144?" without thinking, you should be able to give me 
12. What about 121? Again, without thinking, you should be able to tell me 11. 
What if you see more complex square root questions on the ASVAB? Now you have to apply the 
property of multiplication. If presented with a large number I have the option to find the square 
root of that number, or find the factors of the large number, and find the root of each of the 
factors. These factored roots can be multiplied to give you the square root value of the initial large 
number. 
So for example, if 3 x 3 = nine, and 4 x 4 = 16, then if I do 3 x 3 which gives me 9, and if I take the 
number 9 and multiply it by the number 16, I get 144. You should recognize that the root of 144 is 
12 but you will also know that 3 times 4 equals 12. Therefore instead of directly taking the square 
root of 144 to be 12, I can say, "Well, 144 is composed of 9 times 16." Therefore I can say 144 
breaks down to 9 times 16 and the root of 9 is 3. The root of 16 is 4. 
Now this seems counter-intuitive given that you know the square root of 144. But what if you're 
asked to solve something like the root of 900? I can't do that off the top of my head but if 900 is 
simply 9 times 100. Since 9 is simply 3 x 3, and 100 is 10 x 10 the answer is 10 x 3 or 30.
