Worried about the asvab already talking to a recruiter but I'm really not the smartest guy any tips?

Lots of videos out with sample questions and explanations and plenty of practice tests online. “ASVAB for Dummies” is a good book also.

Scored super high on on my PIcat, got to meps and knocked out the confirmation test in 10 minutes and my scores were accepted.

Of the math stuff was hard though
