Then toke time to read The Post The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) series of tests will be conducted in high schools throughout North Carolina in the coming months. ASVAB, a Department of Defense program, is offered at no cost to the school or the student and is, in most schools, strictly voluntary. Students who want to take the ASVAB should contact their guidance counselors. Students taking the test are under nob obligation for doing so. The ASVAB is designed to be of value in two ways: helping schools assist their students in identifying aptitudes and develooina future educational and career plans and helping the Department of Defense attract well-qualified volunteers for the military. ASVAB provides information use ful for educational and career ex ploration and decision maing. The military uses the ASVAB to help determine the qualifications of young people for enlistment and to help place them in occupational specialties. It also provides mea sures of learning potential that are useful for predicting performance in school courses, though the ASVAB is not designed to measure the aptitudes required for profes sional occupations. ASVAB is the latest in a long line of aptitude tests used by the military services for over 40 years. Since World War II, research programs have been conducted to validate and improve those tests, and numerous versions have been evaluated to determine how well they predict performance in military specialties. Those tests with demonstrated pre dictive validity and high reliability have been incorporated into the ASVAB. The current test-ASVAB 14-has been validated on more than 50 military occupational training courses. Schools which have not yet sched uled ASVAB testing and desire to do so should contact the Military En trance Processing Station (MEPS) in Charlotte at 704-371-6415. Olynpic High School has scheduled ASVAB on Tuesday, October 8, at 7:30 am., Ga ringer High School on Wednesday, October 23, at7:30a.m., and Independence High chool on Thursday, October 24, at 7:30 a.m. jfcTHE POST No Lyin'...
