ASVAB
Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)
Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)
The ASVAB was originally designed to predict future academic and occupational success in military occupations. However it has now become the most widely used multiple-aptitude test battery in the world. The ASVAB is offered at CHS every year and it is FREE to our students. The CHS Counseling Department recommends 11th, and 12th grade students take the ASVAB. Taking this test DOES NOT obligate a student to serve in the armed forces. However, if a student plans on serving in any branch of the armed services, they must take the ASVAB.
The 8 ASVAB test areas are:
General Science
A 25-item test measuring knowledge of life science, earth and space science, and
physical science
