Marine Careers & Required ASVAB Scores
Marines and Army use similar terminology when referring to job descriptions. Just like in the Army, the Marines breaks down the ASVAB subtest scores into groups known as line scores to determine which jobs applicants are best suited for. These line scores and the set of composites that make up each are as follows:
Line Score
CL – Clerical
Verbal Expression(VE)+ Arithmetic Reasoning(AR)+ Mathematics Knowledge(MK)
EL – Electronics
General Science(GS)+ Arithmetic Reasoning(AR)+ Mathematics Knowledge(MK)+ Electronics Information(EI)
GT - General Technical
Verbal Expression(VE)+ Arithmetic Reasoning(AR)
MM - Mechanical Maintenance
Numerical Operations(NO)+ Auto and Shop Information(AS)+ Mechanical Comprehension(MC)+ Electronics Information(EI)
ST - Skilled Technical
General Science(GS)+ Verbal Expression(VE)+ Mathematics Knowledge(MK)+ Mechanical Comprehension(MC)
The following are the Marine’s MOS’s and their required ASVAB scores:
