ASVAB

The ASVAB can be used as a career exploration tool (http://www.asvabprogram.com/) or as one step towards military entrance (http://official-asvab.com/whattoexpect_app.htm). If you are interested in taking the ASVAB please stop in the counseling office and let us know. 

The ASVAB Testing Program does not endorse any particular method of test preparation beyond recommending that examinees take a solid core of courses in mathematics, English, and science in high school and/or college. Such academic preparation will help with performance on the Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Word Knowledge, and General Science subtests. 

Strategies For Taking the ASVAB

• Read the directions for each test carefully before beginning the test.

• Read each question carefully before selecting the answer.

• Pay attention to the time — don’t spend too much time on one individual question, if that means there won’t be enough time to answer later questions.

• When the answer to a question is unknown, try to rule out as many incorrect choices as possible, and then make an educated guess from the remaining answers.

• Don’t get hung up trying to answer the difficult questions — answer the easy questions first and then return to the more difficult questions.

• Answer every question. If time runs short, it is to one's advantage to fill in random guesses for the remaining items, as there is no penalty for guessing.

• Review answers if there is time remaining.

• Make sure only one response per question is selected on the answer sheet, and erase completely if an answer is changed.
