Army ASVAB

The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a multiple choice test, administered by MEPS, used to determine qualification for enlistment in the United States Army, and other military branches. It is often offered to American high school students when they are in the 10th, 11th and 12th grade, though anyone eligible for enlistment may take it.

Now for the people who have test anxiety, you have nothing to worry about. The test is given in two forms, either on paper (by coloring in multiple-choice circles), or on a computer. Depending on where you take the test will determine which test you take. Both tests are pretty much the same, so if you get one or the other, it’s ok. The questions start out real easy and gradually get harder. The ASVAB simply wants to see what subjects you’re strongest and weakest at.
