The Paragraph Comprehension subtest is an important part of your AFQT score, which is the most important score because it determines whether a particular branch of service lets you join. This part of the test is so important that it is worth repeating over and over.
You’d be surprised at how many diverse military jobs require a decent score on the Paragraph Comprehension subtest.
