Converting Between Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages | Ace the ASVAB (4 Hard Practice Questions)

In this video, I discuss everything you need to know about converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages to do well on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) or Pre-screening internet-delivered Computer Adaptive Test (PiCAT). Toward the end of the video, I also work out some challenging word problems that should closely mirror what you may see on the actual ASVAB or PiCAT.

    Hello Grammar Hero! Yesterday I took the CAT-ASVAB & scored an 80 AFQT. Your videos were a tremendous help!! I was expecting to pass but not score that high. I took most of the tests on your website, I watched a lot of your videos, & took practice exams on other websites. I didn’t pay once for an ASVAB course! (I only payed for a monthly subscription on a math app called IXL). I already finished with MEPS & have to pick an AFSC with my Air National Guard recruiter. I know the ASVAB is a huge deal, & can be hard. I took the pencil & paper ASVAB during my senior year in 2016 & scored a 32…of course I felt like a failure. At age 23 I realized how important this exam is & decided to prepare for it. I learned elementary, middle, & high school math (it’s embarrassing to say the following but I couldn’t do elementary math as a senior). The hardest step for me was taking action, I eventually made learning a habit. I’m living proof that with the proper prepping people can go from a low score to a high score. That’s enough ranting! Thank you Grammar Hero you are an Incredible person!!

I struggled a lot in the beginning with learning long division by hand without a calculator; however, the more problems I solved & could see where I went wrong when I screwed up prompted me to keep on trucking & get it down pat. What I will say is that this video is a Godsend for those wanting to learn & will serve you well!...as long as you're willing to put in the work😎

    @@JasonT00 In your case, here's what I would do. Call your local community college or trade school and ask to enroll in a TESOL class. Here's what one of those programs looks like: jefferson.kctcs.edu/education-training/program-finder/tesol.aspx Most reputable TESOL programs cost under $100, and you can talk to your instructor about how you can improve your vocab. While you're in that program, learn every single word on vocabtest.com. In addition, work on learning these 1,000 SAT vocab words: img.sparknotes.com/content/testprep/pdf/sat.vocab.pdf You can also ask your recruiter about the Army's FLRI (Foreign Language Recruiting Initiative) program. Here is a good video about that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qHWbrJOglNuchNI.html Whatever you do, please don't waste money on tutoring just for word knowledge. The reality is that it takes months to acquire new vocab words, and this is especially true for those for whom English is a second language. Your AR and MK scores are good to go. Given the way the AFQT score is calculated, however, you have to do well on AR, MK, PC, and WK to become eligible to enlist.
