What is the ASVAB?

The ASVAB was originally designed to predict future academic and occupational success in military occupations. Since its introduction in 1968, the ASVAB has been the subject of extensive research. Numerous validation studies indicate it assesses academic ability and predicts success in a wide variety of occupations.

Several composite scores are formed from different combinations of ASVAB test scores. Three composites, or Career Exploration Scores, are provided specifically to help students engage in career exploration. These scores help students to get a good sense of their verbal, math and science technical skills compared to other students in the same grade. ASVAB results are reported to student’s ands counselors on the ASVAB summary Results sheet. This report shows grade specific, gender-specific, and combined standard scores and score bands for all eight tests and three Career Exploration Scores. The ASVAB Summary Results sheet provides students with appropriate explanations of the scores, as well as suggestions for their use.
