Barron's ASVAB Flash Cards: Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Description
Young men and women who enter any branch of the United States Armed Forces (as well as current service members who want to raise their scores) must take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), which determines their qualifications for military service and aptitudes for specialized training. This set of flash cards prepares aspiring recruits with questions that cover all 9 ASVAB subtests, including word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, general science, electronics, shop and automotive information, mechanical comprehension, mathematics knowledge, and mentally assembling rotated objects. Questions are on the front and answers are on the reverse side of each flash card. The cards, which measure 4 1/2" x 2 3/4", each have a punch hole in one corner that accommodates an enclosed metal key-ring-style card holder. The ring allows users to arrange the cards in any sequence that suits their study needs. This set of 400 cards can be used alone or in tandem with Barron's ASVAB test preparation manual.

First off, I mostly agree with D.J.'s review. It is true that these "flash cards" are mostly multiple choice questions. He also says you need a pencil and paper do the math questions. Not necessarily. I was able to do all of them in my head, but math is my best subject, so maybe that's just me. Try to avoid using a calculator because they are prohibited on the actual test. The vocab questions were, in my opinion, the most helpful. I also have a set of SAT vocab flash cards, and I was surprised to discover that these are better. With every work, there is a definition (usually a short sentence), sentence using the word, list of synonyms (about 3), and list of antonyms (about 3).
In addition, here's what you'll get: 9 sections in 400 cards. Each card is labeled with its number, so you won't mix up order. Each set of cards is labeled by a shading in a unique spot on the top of the cards. The sets are:
Cards 1-55 = General Science
Cards 56-105 = Arithmetic Reasoning & Mathematics Knowledge
Cards 106-255 = Word Knowledge (Vocab)
Cards 256-270 = Paragraph Comprehension
Cards 271-305 = Electronics Information
Cards 306-330 = Automotive Information
Cards 331-355 = Shop Information
Cards 356-380 = Mechanical Information
Cards 381-400 = Assembling Objects
I did find a number of errors, or maybe I'm just wrong. If you buy them, check these out and respond.
On Q17 science, I think answer should be 40 (not listed), but its 32 (D).
On Q55 science, there is a disharmony between the answer listed and the explanation to support it.
On Q57 math, answer should be 32 (D), but it's 31 (C). I calculated 31.4, but by the nature of the question, we need to round up.
