What this means
Official Army Chapter 10c PDF lists EL 93, ST 91 and GT 97 together effective 9 October 2023; clearance and training remain separate.
The score listed above is the minimum line score threshold from the official Army MOS specification. Meeting this threshold does not guarantee enlistment — additional requirements such as OPAT physical testing, security clearance, medical screening, and training availability are evaluated separately by your recruiter. To see how EL 97 compares with the rest of the Army, read what counts as a good ASVAB score. Enlistment itself needs the Army's AFQT minimum, which most recent recruits clear by a wide margin (see the average ASVAB score).
Which ASVAB subtests count toward 46T
46T is judged on 3 line scores. The subtests listed below are the Army's nominal definition of each aptitude area from DA PAM 611-21, Military Occupational Classification and Structure, Table 10-1 (ASVAB aptitude area composites). The score actually printed on your report is computed on the 1997 scale as a weighted sum of seven standard scores (DMDC 2004, Table 2.7) and may give weight to subtests outside the nominal list; GT is the exception and equals AR + VE exactly. Use the line score on your report, or compute it from your standard scores; the score chart shows where EL ≥ 93 and ST ≥ 91 and GT ≥ 97 sits among every Army line score range.
GS + AR + MK + EI
GS (General Science), AR (Arithmetic Reasoning), MK (Mathematics Knowledge), EI (Electronics Information).
GS + VE (verbal: WK and PC) + MK + MC
GS (General Science), WK (Word Knowledge), PC (Paragraph Comprehension), MK (Mathematics Knowledge), MC (Mechanical Comprehension).
VE (verbal: WK and PC) + AR
WK (Word Knowledge), PC (Paragraph Comprehension), AR (Arithmetic Reasoning).
If your score is below EL ≥ 93 and ST ≥ 91 and GT ≥ 97
Your ASVAB report lists every line score, so start by finding EL and ST and GT and noting the exact gap. A small gap in one composite is usually closed by improving the subtests that feed it, and each subtest counts toward several line scores at once.
GT is the one line score you can compute from just two numbers: enter AR and VE on the GT score calculator to see exactly where you stand against every job that names GT.

A retest is subject to the official retest waiting periods; ask your recruiter before planning around one. Practice results here are raw scores and never convert into an official line score.
Public Affairs jobs ranked by ASVAB threshold
All 3 currently verified CMF 46 entries on this site, ordered by the lowest score that satisfies each rule. 46T sits at position 2: 1 job lists a lower threshold and 1 lists a higher one. Thresholds in different line scores are not directly comparable.
Other Army jobs judged on EL (Electronics)
Because these MOS share the EL line score with 46T, the same subtests decide your standing for all of them. Jobs at or below 46T's threshold are fallback options; jobs above it are what a higher EL unlocks.

Frequently asked questions
What ASVAB score do I need for 46T Visual Information Equipment Operator-Maintainer?
The verified score threshold recorded for this MOS is EL ≥ 93 and ST ≥ 91 and GT ≥ 97. Other requirements such as OPAT, clearance, and training are separate.
Which ASVAB subtests count toward the EL and ST and GT score for 46T?
EL (Electronics) is nominally GS + AR + MK + EI. ST (Skilled Technical) is nominally GS + VE (verbal: WK and PC) + MK + MC. GT (General Technical) is nominally VE (verbal: WK and PC) + AR. The reported score is a weighted sum of seven standard scores on the 1997 scale, so subtests outside that list can also count. Compare the line score printed on your ASVAB report against EL ≥ 93 and ST ≥ 91 and GT ≥ 97, or compute it from your standard scores with the calculator.
Is AFQT enough to qualify for 46T?
No. AFQT is used for general enlistment qualification. 46T uses specific Army line scores (EL ≥ 93 and ST ≥ 91 and GT ≥ 97), and the line-score rule shown here is the verified threshold. These are composite scores calculated from ASVAB subtests and are different from your AFQT percentile.
Are there Public Affairs jobs with a lower ASVAB threshold than 46T?
Yes. Among the 3 currently verified CMF 46 entries on this site, 1 list a lower entry threshold than 46T and 1 list a higher one. The ranked table on this page shows each requirement; a lower threshold in a different line score is not directly comparable to EL ≥ 93 and ST ≥ 91 and GT ≥ 97.
Where does this 46T score requirement come from?
The verified threshold is recorded from the official Army MOS specification document. Initial award, Chapter 10c; score thresholds effective 9 October 2023. Source checked on 2026-11-12.
