After a good PiCAT score, what must you do before it counts?

  1. Take a short proctored Vtest within 45 days ✔
  2. Retake the full ASVAB at MEPS
  3. Nothing, it counts right away

Why: PiCAT is taken without a proctor, so eligible applicants confirm it with a Vtest at a MEPS or MET site. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes and gives no score of its own.

Huh, didn't know that: If the Vtest is successful, your PiCAT scores become your official ASVAB scores of record.

The dad joke
The Vtest is like a dad checking your homework. Short, but he's watching.
