Which ASVAB subtests contribute to the AFQT score?

The AFQT score is built from four ASVAB subtests. Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge feed the AFQT directly, while the Verbal Expression portion—composed of Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension—also contributes. In the AFQT calculation, Verbal Expression is weighted (2x VE), so both Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension impact the AFQT through that factor. Because of this setup, all four subtests—Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, Word Knowledge, and Paragraph Comprehension—contribute to the AFQT.
