Percentages Made Easy & Translating Word Problems Involving Percentages into Equations (ASVAB/PiCAT)
In this video, I discuss percentages and how to solve word problems involving percentages. In addition, I work out several practice test questions. In order to do well on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) as well as the Pre-screening internet-delivered Computer Adaptive Test (PiCAT), you must be comfortable solving problems that are similar to the ones in this video.

Man i have a question ” i have short week to prepare for my test on Friday. I took the practice a week before without any studying and I scored a 19 and my strong areas are Gs,Wk,Pc My weak areas is AR,MK. I feel like if I just can score in the high 40 range in these to subtest not only will i pass but ill have a decent job list to pick from. So my question is .. should i learn the formulas to questions that show up the most like percentages and fractions ? Because it seems like i see those more than ratio or anything else

If you only have a week to prepare, I would consider doing two things: 1. I would grind through the practice tests in my Math Boot Camp playlist: kzread.info/head/PLhlU-GzAQeG2ete7N8QjR2dDN_CaIH67z and 2. I would work on learning and memorizing the basic formulas in my reference sheet here: www.asvabapp.com/Reference.pdf Good luck!
Another great vid. Hopefully do good on the real test

so for example number 6. how do u know that 20 goes outside and 3 goes inside when dividing?
Is it mandatory to put two extra zeros everytime you divide?
Passed with something like an 87 2 years ago but trying this because im REapplying to join the army so we'll see

Hey Grammar Hero! I have a question regarding simplifying fractions, I'm having trouble figuring out the common factor of a number. Is there something I could learn how to memorize common factors? Maybe multiplication table?

You should really have your times tables memorized and be able to do them mentally. If you don't, then reducing fractions will be very challenging.
Hey grammar hero! So I didn’t pass the ASVAB but I scored a 25 . I had a 13 at first so my score did go up . But my problem is arithmetic reasoning. Is there any advice on what I should do ? I’m terrible at math. But I’m supposed to retake the test at the end of this month !

For arithmetic reasoning, I would do this. 1. Work through my playlist called A Review of Word Problems for the ASVAB/PiCAT. Here it is: kzread.info/head/PLhlU-GzAQeG20dUBuaZqmknvmcB_fmhYw 2. Work through my playlist called Arithmetic Reasoning Practice Tests For the ASVAB/PiCAT (350+ Practice Test Questions) kzread.info/head/PLhlU-GzAQeG20dUBuaZqmknvmcB_fmhYw If you do the above, you should be able to improve your score even more. If you almost doubled your score, then you should be able to get 10 more points to pass. Good luck!

I used mental math: 100 x 4 = 400 and 25 x 4 = 100; therefore, 125 x 4 = 400 + 100 or 500. You may want to watch my video on long division for more practice! Here it is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hpOE09WHma2XobQ.html
