10. Assembling Objects. As of December 2002, Coding Speed, and Numerical Operations has been removed from the ASVAB Test. An additional test, called "Assembling Objects," has been added. With the exception of some Navy jobs, "Assembling Objects" has not yet been incorporated into any of the Line Score calculations for military jobs, nor is it used in determining the overall ASVAB Score. At some time in the future, "Assembling Objects" will be incorporated into various line scores for certain military jobs (mostly those which require a knowledge of spatial relations. This new sub-test has 16 questions , and you have 9 minutes to answer them. Basically, you get a picture with various disassembled parts and four drawings. You have to pick the drawing that shows what the parts would actually look like when assembled.
