What score do I need on the ASVAB to qualify for my MOS?

Answer submitted by dnelson.

The Army converts the ASVAB subtest scores into five composite score areas, known as “line scores.” The line scores determine what job(s) an individual qualifies for. The ASVAB subtests are: General Science (GS); Arithmetic Reasoning (AR); Word Knowledge (WK); Paragraph Comprehension (PC); Numerical Operations (NO); Coding Speed (CS); Auto and Shop Information (AS); Mathematics Knowledge (MK); Mechanical Comprehension (MC); Electronics Information (EI); and Sum of Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension (VE).

Marine Corps Line Scores are determined as follows:
CL-Clerical-VE AR MK
EL-Electronics-GS AR MK EI
GT-General Technical-VE AR
MM-Mechanical Maintenance-NO AS MC EI
ST-Skilled Technical-GS VE MK MC
