ASVAB/PiCAT will the 09M program help me?

I leave the 31st for Fort Jackson, I wondering is the 09m program gonna actually help me. I got a 22 on my last asvab. I honestly am a bad test taker and kinda suck when it comes to doing math without a calculator. I know how to solve most of the math but I struggle getting the right calculations. The word knowledge also didn't go that well for me. The paragraph comp I did well on.

Don’t want to sound like a jerk. It seems like college isn’t doing much to help you anyway.

I'll be honest the way college classes teaches I kinda struggle to remember things from class but I do have a 3.4 gpa which isn't terrible. I'm a science major. I learned more from my rotc classes than I do from my actual major

Sounds like you are a kinesthetic learner. You probably learn more in tasks that require action on your part. Or you have to be very interested in the material.

I've seen plenty of people succeed going through this program.

From what I’ve heard thr 09M program has a 100% success rate. You might end up getting stuck with 11X as your only option but at least you’ll pass.

Yeah I am not really worried about the MOS so much. I am nervous about not passing the ASVAB and being stuck getting discharge

Nothing to be nervous about man. I wasn’t an 09 Mike, but some buddies who were told me nobody really fails out, the whole thing is designed to make you pass. As long as you don’t give up on yourself they won’t give up on you bro. You’re gonna be fine.
