The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB, is a multiple-aptitude test used to determine a student's eligibility and suitability for various military careers, and it also serves as a career exploration tool for students. It measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success, particularly within the military.

Purpose - The ASVAB helps predict future academic and occupational success, particularly within the military.

Career Exploration - It is also used as a career exploration tool for students to identify potential career paths based on their aptitude.  

Eligibility - A score of 31 or higher on the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT), a component of the ASVAB, is generally required for military enlistment, along with other requirements like physical condition and personal conduct. 

What are you being tested on? - The test includes various subtests, including General Science, Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, and others, with some focusing on vocational skills and others on math and verbal skills. 

Preparation - Studying for the ASVAB is similar to preparing for the ACT or SAT. Familiarizing yourself with the test format, types of questions, and scoring is crucial.
