All branches use the (ASVAB) for enlistment, but applicants for officer training take different tests. Most of all of the Army pilots are warrant officers and to become a warrant officer you have to attend Warrant Officer Candidate School. You can get more information about the school and the requirements at this link.: https://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/current-and-prior-service/advance-your-career/warrant-officer.html
Good luck!

You'll have to take the revised Flight Aptitude Selection Test and earn a score of at least 90. In addition, your general technical score on the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) tests must be 110 or better.

Good afternoon Jorden, your question is focused on Army pilot opportunities, but if you were considering pilot opportunities in the Navy as well I can give you some quick advice (more open doors are always better).
To be a Navy Pilot, there are two options.
-Most common: You must earn a 4yr degree from an accredited college. No ASVAB required, but it wouldn't hurt because it shows you the way government exams are administered. You will have to take an exam called the ASTB, where your goal is to get all 5's or above on each of three categories. You can take this exam through any Navy recruiting station free of charge.
-Less common/more difficult: You can take the ASVAB and enlist in the Navy. You can work in a field of your choice and even become a aircraft mechanic or air traffic controller. Your experience will help you tremendously when you go through pilot raining later on. You would then have to perform very highly and standout amongst your peers to such a degree that you would be recommended for an officer program. This is not easy and not common. This is the route I took and I did not see the inside of an aircraft until I was in my 8th year of service. But the good news is that the Navy paid for me to go to college and earn an Engineering degree in those eight years. If money is an issue, and college is not something you can do right now, consider this route. But be aware of the time line. If you are patient and work hard to achieve your goals, this is an absolutely solid option for you.
Decide if a 4yr college degree is in your immediate future
Purchase a used ASTB study book, or get one at the library and work on your ability to CRUSH that exam
If college is not a current option, take the ASVAB and the ASTB to see what options are available
