The Navy and Coast Guard use the standard subtest scores directly from the ASVAB test:
- General Science (GS)
- Arithmetic Reasoning (AR)
- Word Knowledge (WK)
- Paragraph Comprehension (PC)
- Auto & Shop Information (AS)
- Mathematics Knowledge (MK)
- Mechanical Comprehension (MC)
- Electronics Information (EI)
- Assembling Objects (AO)
- Verbal Expression (VE) : (WK + PC)
Although the Navy and Coast Guard do not use line scores for job determination, the scores they do calculate provide a general idea of which job areas for which a recruit may qualify.
