      • About the ASVAB
        • The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is a multiple-aptitude battery that measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success.
        • If students are looking towards pursuing a military pathway post-high school, ASVAB is required.
        • It was originally funded by the Department of Labor before branches of the military started using it.
        • Students do NOT need to pursue the military in order to take this test, and they will NOT be contacted by any recruiters unless they specify otherwise.
        • After the results come in, we host a score interpretation. This is a great resource in helping students understand their results and increase their awareness of possible career paths.
