ASVAB Testing Information

(Updated September 15, 2021)

The Armed Services Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is an aptitude test that helps predict future academic and occupational success.  It is scheduled one time each school year for all sophomore students at Norwin High School.  The exam is also opened up to juniors and seniors interested in taking it an additional time.
 
Norwin High School uses results of the ASVAB to help young people explore their strengths and make informed career decisions.  It is also a potential graduation pathway.  Following the exam, students receive a Career Exploration Guide alongside their individualized test results.  This guide includes an interest inventory that will help students use their interests and ASVAB scores to explore occupations
 
Students are not obligated to the military in any way as a results of taking the exam.
