Why did they choose 99? Dang it I need to raise my score now.

The ASVAB test is broken down as follows (number of questions):
General Science: 25
Arithmetic Reasoning: 30
Word Knowledge: 25
Paragraph Comprehension: 15
Auto and Shop Info: 25
Math Knowledge: 35
Mechanical Comprehension: 25
Electronics Information: 20

Total number of items: 200
Test Time: 134 minutes
Administrative Time: 46 minutes
Total Test Time: 180 minutes

***The Department of Defense doesn't give you anything extra if you score a 82 instead of a 99. If you score 50 or above you qualify for all of the benefits if they are available.

I got a 96 AFQT when I took it last. They say anything over a 65 or so is very good and anything over an 80 is exceptional. Congratulations on being exceptional

The USMC breaks it down into 4 categories.
GT: General Technologies 134 for me
EL: Electronics 134 for me
MM: Mathematics 127 for me
CL: (I forgot) 134 for me I think, (my score has long since been zeroed out due to the length of time since I last took the ASVAB)

Generally if you score a 100+ on the GT you are eligible for almost any MOS.

Goodness, my ASVAB score was sorry compared to you all.
My AFQT was 74%.

My Marine scores were: MM: 98; GT: 111; EL: 103; CL: 116
My Air Force scores were: M: 66; A: 78; G: 70; E: 56

Compared to you all, this seems really low.
