ASVAB
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ASVAB is administered FREE to interested eleventh and twelfth grade students and it is an excellent career exploration tool. It can help identify the student's interests and aptitude in the following areas: verbal, math, science and technical skills. When a student's score is interpreted, he/she will lean how their interests and skills relate to the demands of more than 400 occupations, helping students to identify suitable career options. Should students wish to use their results as part of an enlistment conversation with military recruiters, they can provide their scores to the recruiter. Taking the ASVAB in no way involves a commitment to the military. The ASVAB will be offered once during the school year.
Purpose:
According to the Official Site of the ASVAB, this test is “a multiple-aptitude battery that measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success in the military”. (http://official-asvab.com/)
-
“ASVAB scores are used to determine if you are qualified to enlist in the military and to assign you to an appropriate job in the military.” (http://official-asvab.com/docs/asvab_fact_sheet.pdf)
Who takes the ASVAB?
It is recommended for 11thand 12th grade students who are considering a career in the military.
