ASVAB E Score
Electrical (Air Force)
What E Measures
The Air Force E composite is mathematically identical to the Army EL score. It gates avionics, electrical, and communications AFSCs — the most technically demanding jobs in the Air Force. A high E score opens the door to careers working on aircraft avionics systems, ground electronics, and network infrastructure.
Electrical work requires science fundamentals (GS), arithmetic for circuit calculations (AR), algebra for systems analysis (MK), and specific electronics knowledge — Ohm's Law, circuit topology, component identification (EI).

How to Improve Your E Score
Subtests ranked by impact on your E score. Improving the top-ranked subtest first maximizes cross-composite benefit.
Most directly tested. Ohm's Law (V=IR, P=VI), series vs. parallel circuits, component symbols. This is uniquely coachable.
Physics underpins electronics theory. Focus on electricity, magnetism, and basic chemistry.
Algebra for circuit calculations — solving for unknowns, working with formulas.
Practical arithmetic for circuit analysis under time pressure.
