Start playing free

  1. Anyone, up to three times
  2. Only people who failed the ASVAB
  3. Only people who have never taken the ASVAB ✔

Why: The PiCAT can be taken only once, and only by someone who has never taken the ASVAB. If you already tested, you retest at a MEPS or MET site instead.

Huh, didn't know that: Recruiters also have a short online AFQT Predictor Test (APT) that can be taken any number of times.

The dad joke
The PiCAT is like a first impression. You only get one.
