Free ASVAB Math Knowledge Practice Test

Practice the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) Math Knowledge section with 10 free questions, each with a clear explanation and a Scout tip. No sign-up needed. Math Knowledge is one of the 4 AFQT subtests, so it directly affects whether you can enlist.

What Math Knowledge Covers

Math Knowledge (MK) tests high school math concepts directly, without long word problems:

  • Algebra: solving equations like 3x + 5 = 20.
  • Order of operations (PEMDAS): the most common trap on the test.
  • Exponents and square roots.
  • Fractions, decimals, and percents.
  • Geometry: area, perimeter, volume, angles, and the Pythagorean theorem.

How to Score Higher on Math Knowledge

  • Undo the math in reverse order when solving equations.
  • Memorize the core formulas: area of a rectangle, triangle, and circle; the Pythagorean theorem; the angles in a triangle (180°).
  • Plug the answers back in when you're stuck: one of them has to work.
