ASVAB

Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)

 The ASVAB helps the Department of Defense not just determine if 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.


How to Prepare for the ASVAB:

Where Can I Take the ASVAB?

It depends on which version of the ASVAB you intend to take. You can take the test at a nearby high school (the student ASVAB) or arrange to take it through a local recruiter (the Military Entrance Test-site ASVAB or CAT-ASVAB).

**Both Reading and Muhlenberg School Districts offer the ASVAB, as well. Ask your high school counselor for more information if interested.**
