MILITARY

With thousands of different jobs for enlisted personnel and officers, there’s a lot to do in the Military. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program can help young adults identify and explore potentially satisfying occupations and develop effective strategies to realize career goals.

The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is one of the most widely used, multiple-aptitude tests in the world, developed and maintained by the Department of Defense. More than half of all high schools nationwide administer the ASVAB test to students.

The ASVAB consists of the following eight individual tests:

· General Science

· Arithmetic Reasoning

· Word Knowledge

· Paragraph Comprehension

· Mathematics Knowledge

· Electronics Information

· Auto and Shop Information

· Mechanical Comprehension

Students are provided with scores on each of these individual tests and three Career Exploration Score composites: Verbal Skills, Math Skills and Science and Technical Skills. The battery takes approximately three hours to complete, and test results are returned to schools in a few weeks.

The Military uses students’ ASVAB scores to identify the occupations that best suit their abilities. Junior, Senior and postsecondary school students can use their ASVAB scores for enlistment for up to two years after taking the test.
