ASVAB stands for Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. It is a comprehensive test to identify your strengths, weaknesses and where you could best serve your country. For instance, you may want to be an electrical engineer, but the ASVAB may tell the recruiter you simply don't have the background skills.

The ASVAB score (or the Armed Services Qualification Test) just judges everything about you that might be needed in relation to the military. It is a very comprehensive exam that covers anything and everything. If you do well on it, you will probably do extremely well within the military, although a poor score is no indicator of failure.
