Need advice for improving Word Knowledge (WK) on the ASVAB — feel stuck
Hey everyone, I’m currently going through the enlistment process and I’ve been grinding the ASVAB pretty hard, especially trying to improve my Word Knowledge score. I feel like I’ve been studying nonstop through multiple websites/apps/videos, but honestly it feels like I’m doing something wrong because my WK still isn’t where I want it to be.
My current scores:
AFQT: 27
GT: 90
ST: 97
GM: 102
EL: 98
CL: 93
MM: 104
CO: 101
FA: 100
OF: 101
SC: 96
Raw scores:
WK: 38
PC: 46
AR: 50
MK: 47
GS: 56
MC: 56
EI: 49
AO: 66
AS: 55
VE: 41
I feel like Word Knowledge is what’s dragging me down the most. For people who struggled with WK before, what actually helped you improve? Did you focus on vocab lists, reading more, flashcards, context clues, memorizing prefixes/suffixes, etc.?
I’ve been studying every day and I’m willing to put in the work, I just feel stuck right now and wanted advice from people who’ve been through the same thing. Any tips/resources/study methods that genuinely helped you raise WK or overall AFQT would be appreciated.
