High-school teacher and master tutor Kristen Titus joins Mickey to break down how to study smart for the ASVAB (and why a clear plan beats raw talent). We cover practical timing strategies for every AFQT section, how structure and mentorship change trajectories, and Kristen’s proven approach that’s lifted students to scholarship-winning SAT scores. She also shares the mom perspective—what it felt like watching her son choose service and thrive. What you’ll learn: Why your study plan (goal score → aligned habits) matters more than “being good at tests.” Timing targets that keep you moving: General Science: 10 min / 16 Q (~30s per Q) Arithmetic Reasoning: 36 min / 16 Q (~2+ min per Q; don’t get stuck) Math Knowledge: 24 min / 16 Q (~1.5 min per Q) Word Knowledge: 11 min / 16 Q (~45s per Q) Paragraph Comp: 13 min / 11 Q (~1 min per Q) How to flag, skip, and return (aka “feel the push”) so you maximize correct answers. Simple review tools (e.g., Quizlet vocab sets and gamified practice) that actually stick. Parallels between ASVAB and SAT prep—and the confidence & opportunities that follow.
