What is ASVAB and who should take it?

It is also a highly effective career exploration exam for those students not wishing to enter the military but hoping to figure out the best career pathway available to them. This test is recommended for 11th- and 12th-grade students and there is no cost to take this test.
Test date and registration
The ASVAB will be given on Tuesday, Dec. 6, at 7:45 a.m.
Students MUST sign up by Tuesday, Nov. 29, via the Google doc.
The test may take up to three hours
