I’m a visual/hands-on learner. So while reading through the General Science section of the ASVAB For Dummies (AFD) book, I decided to look up the charts about what I was reading about. There is way too much to memorize in the subject that even though I hope to do well so that I can get a MOS that I would enjoy, I’m not all that worried. I’m hoping a lot of it comes back to me when taking the test. And if not, then I’ll be making a lot of educated guesses!
Types of Clouds
Layers of the Earth
Animal Cell
Plant Cell
Scientific Method
Classification of a Grizzly bear using Linnaeus’s System of Classification
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species = King Phillip Came Over For Great Spaghetti
According to the AFD book, you need to know these three units of measurement (hooray for the metric system):meter (m) is the unit of length, liter (L) is the unit of volume, and gram (g) is the unit of mass.
I know I learned how to convert temperatures from one scale to another but I saw the formulas and barely recognized them. Another thing the AFD book says to commit to memory. So here you go:
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:
F= 9/5C + 32
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
C= 5/9(F-32)
And I’m really hoping there’s nothing on the Kelvin scale but here it is anyway:
K= C + 273.15
To go from kelvins to Celsius, subtract 273.15 from the kelvin temperature. (I don’t think I’ll be memorizing this before Tuesday!)
I should be able to make educated guesses on a lot of the other parts of this subtest. A lot has to do with vocab and root words. And a lot of it is common knowledge. There’s also a lot more to this chapter in the AFD book but this is what I felt I needed to see visually.
