WHat is the asvab test?
WHat is the asvab test?
The ASVAB is a timed, multi-aptitude test, which is given at more than 14,000 schools and Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS) nationwide and is developed and maintained by the Defense Department (DoD).Â
The ASVAB helps the DoD not just determine whether you are a good fit to join the service, but also which service branch you might be best for and even what military jobs you can hold after you finish basic training or boot camp. The better your ASVAB score, the broader your options.
Can I retake the asvab?
Can I retake the asvab?
Yes, you may retake the ASVAB, but after your first attempt, you must wait one month for a redo. If you would like a third try, you then must wait six months.
