ASVAB

ARMED FORCES VOCATIONAL APTITUDE BATTERY

The ASVAB is not only a multiple-choice test that measures your knowledge and ability in a variety of areas. This test helps determine which military specialty is the best fit for you.

However, it is not just helpful for military-bound students. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program is a great tool for students who aren't sure of their plans after high school. The program synthesizes ASVAB scores and interest inventory scores to develop a list of possible careers tailored to each student's knowledge, abilities, and interests.
