Considering how important your ASVAB score is to your future in the military it's surprising that more people don't know how it affects their chance of qualifying for their target service branch and military job.
First, what most people call their "ASVAB Score" is actually their "AFQT Score". The AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score is made up of four of the nine ASVAB subtests:
* Word Knowledge (WK)
* Paragraph Comprehension (PC)
* Arithmetic Reasoning (AR)
* Mathematics Knowledge (MK)
which are combined using the formula 2(WK + PC) + AR + MK to get your AFQT score.
It's actually a little more complicated than that but, in the end, you'll end up with a single score that measures your performance on these four subtests as compared with every other person who took the ASVAB test.
So, your ASVAB score of 70 simply means that, on the subtests that make up the AFQT score, you scored better than 70% of the other applicants who took the test. There's no "passing" or "failing" the ASVAB there's just the score you achieved on the nine subtests and how those scores qualify you for enlistment in the military.
Speaking of enlistment, that's the primary function of the AFQT score - to determine if you meet the minimum qualification for enlistment in the military. That minimum qualification is different depending on your service branch (Army is the lowest at 31 and Coast Guard is the highest at 40), whether you have a high school diploma or GED (GED applicants need a 50 and often some college credits), and if you're enlisting as an active duty soldier or in the reserves (reserves have higher ASVAB score requirements).
Your AFQT score is also used to determine if you qualify for an enlistment bonus, college loan repayment, college plans, and other enlistment bonuses. These typically require a minimum ASVAB score of 50.
The subtests that make up the AFQT score are also used to calculate some of your "line scores" which are used to measure your knowledge and aptitude in various occupational areas and qualify you for particular jobs within the armed services. Your AFQT score gets you in and your line scores get you the job you want.
