  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. The race groupings used in this table reflect the number of individuals who indicate a single racial identity.  Individuals who self-identify 
      as multiracial are counted in the "two or more" category.
  3. American Indian, Alaska Native
