I'm taking my ASVAB in about 30 days, does anyone have any tips on how to get better at math and word problems? Any study tips that can help me prepare for the test better?
What did your recruiter tell you?

He told me to use this site called Khan Academy and he gave me ASVAB for Dummies 2015/2016 Version to read. I scored a 55 on my practice at the recruiting office but I feel like I can do WAY BETTER.
Hmmm, keep studying I suppose. I really don't know how and didn't pay attention to shit when I took mine.

Study maths, you dense fuck.

No shit bud I'm asking for advice you can give to someone who really suck at math to be more clear I'm talking about equations and algebra type stuff. Better ways to study it etc etc that's all don't need to be a dick about it.

I think the world is fucking people over by calling it math. If you suck at it, you're probably making it more than it is and trying to bite off more than you can chew when you solve problems. Every equation or problem has a method of being solved. You need to KNOW exactly what those methods are and remember them for the problems you run into so you can do them proficiently. Give an example of a math problem you suck at and why you can't handle it and maybe we can explain what you're doing wrong. I wouldn't give you an answer but I would tell you where to start and why you screwed up by not starting there.

Honestly I have no idea how well this will work for you but for multiple choice math questions (and multiple choice questions in general) I always just bullshitted my way to an answer then made an educated guess based on what I got and what the 4 answers provided were.
It honestly worked better for me than it should have on multiple choice test questions and the asvab is multiple choice.
tl;dr

Take it with a grain of salt.
Multiple choice tests are undoubtedly the easiest to bullshit your way through but you'd still do far FAR better by learning the material.

The good news is that with the internet you can find tutorials on that shit in minutes as opposed to back in the day where you needed to buy a book or find someone to teach you.
The bad news is that just like anything else there is no quick shortcut to you knowing EVERYTHING. You need to learn little by little over time and that's probably why kids need to pay more attention in school nowadays. Pick the most basic shit because all the advanced stuff is composed of basic stuff usually. I would look up some elementary school shit and start from there if you're really that bad at math.
