Why would anyone in their right mind want to take yet another test? The ASVAB is a test of eight areas including science, math, word knowledge, and mechanical
comprehension. In addition to serving as the entry test for military service, it is a good way to learn what skills you might bring to the job market and what areas you might need to enhance. An interpretation of your scores will be offered that will help you understand what career fields may best match your interests and abilities. If you are interested in entering the military, the ASVAB will be used to determine your eligibility as well as to determine what jobs and training you might be offered.
