// AIR FORCE LINE SCORES
Air Force Line Scores Explained (2026)
The Air Force uses 4 composites called MAGE: Mechanical, Administrative, General, Electronic. Every AFSC (job) has a minimum on one or more of these — Cyber Warfare 1B4 wants E ≥ 64.
Air Force Composite Formulas
Each composite is a weighted sum of your subtest standard scores. The MOSes you qualify for gate on these — not on AFQT alone.
M
Mechanical
MC×2 + AS + AR + VE
Aerospace propulsion, aircraft systems, vehicle ops.
A
Administrative
VE + MK
Personnel, finance, intel analyst.
G
General
VE + AR
Security Forces, services, command post.
E
Electronic
AR + MK + EI + GS
Cyber Warfare (1B4), avionics, RF transmission.
