What matters most when your trying to join the military? Your asvab score or your line score?

What matters most when your trying to join the military?Your over all asvab score or your line scores? I ask because I know I didnt do amazing on my asvab score but I'm ok with it. I got a 49. I know I dont have a huge selection of jobs to chose from but I'm ok with it. I'm thinking about taking an admin job.
Additional Details
I'm trying to join the army. I know I could do admin in the air force because I was actually thinking on joining the AF before. My line score was high enough.

It all depends on the job you are interested in. The overall score is an easy indicator to see if you meet the minimum score of 41 (I believe) required for entry. Naturally waivers are available, but I cannot stress this enough, take the time to raise the score to get the job YOU WANT. Most importantly, above all else, RAISE YOUR GT SCORE to 110. This is the math and english portion of the test. You won't hear about this early on since they just want to push you through, but this GT score determines where you go in your future career regarding promotions and schools. It is so important that the military (once you get in) offers a course called a FAST class that is designed solely to raise that score.

No matter what the recruiter tells you, do whatever you can to raise the score to YOUR standards. This will pay off in the long run, believe me.

Line scores are what really determine if you qualify for a certain job or not. I know that for the air force an admin score of 60ish will qualify for most admin jobs. You will just have to find out your admin score. I know my AFQT was 63 and I scored an 81 in mechanical and 72 in general so you never really know.

What people call the asvab score, is really thier AFQT score.

It is only used to determine if you can enlist or not.

So as long as you score high enough to enlist, thats all that counts.

Your line scores determine what jobs you qualify for.

As long as you make the minimum qualifying score for the job you want, thats all that counts.
