The section that focuses on solving problems involving numerical data is Arithmetic Reasoning. This part of the ASVAB assesses your ability to understand and work with numerical information through mathematical concepts, word problems, and the application of arithmetic operations. It tests skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as your ability to interpret and manipulate numbers in practical situations, such as budgeting or calculating distances.
While Mathematics Knowledge also involves numbers, it primarily focuses on mathematical concepts and principles rather than word problems and practical applications of arithmetic. General Science deals with scientific concepts rather than numerical data directly, and Mechanical Comprehension focuses on understanding mechanical and physical principles, not directly involving numerical problem-solving. Thus, Arithmetic Reasoning is the dedicated section for addressing problems that require logical reasoning with numerical data.
