The ASVAB is a FREE career planning and exploration program that combines a multiple-aptitude test with an interest self-assessment and a wide range of career exploration tools. It is administered annually to more than one million high school and post-secondary students, and military applicants.
The ASVAB Career Exploration Program includes eight individual tests covering verbal and math skills, mechanical knowledge, electronics, etc. It also provides three Career Exploration Scores for Verbal Skills, Math Skills, and Science and Technical Skills. These three scores serve as one of several pieces of information about your teen that can aid in the exploration of a wide variety of educational and career options. The ASVAB is offered at no cost and no obligation to high school students.
Students can explore occupations and consider whether their skills (as measured by the three Career Exploration Scores), and interests are comparable to the demands of occupations that appeal to them. Research has shown that students who participate in the ASVAB Program experience less career indecision, enjoy greater confidence in making career decisions, and consider more thoughtfully their options than do students who do not participate in the ASVAB Program.
A junior or senior can also use their scores from the ASVAB to enlist in the military after graduation. The scores are good for two years. However, no one is under any obligation to the military as a result of taking the ASVAB. Many students take the ASVAB for career exploration and have no interest in enlisting in the military.
