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.
