  1. AFQT scores are percentiles that are normalized to the 1997 American youth population.  For example, a score of 92 represents the 
      92nd percentile and means that 92 percent of the youth population scored at or below that score.  It is standard to report these AFQT score 
      percentiles in the categories listed below.
Cat I:   100-93 Cat IIIB:   49-31
Cat II:   92-65 Cat IV:   30-10
Cat IIIA:   64-50 Cat V:   9-1
  2. AFQT percentile scores are normed by a nationally-representative sample of American youth.  The 1997 norming replaced the 
      1980 norming, which replaced the WWII norming.  AFQT category V individuals are ineligible for military service.
