Attention students: ASVAB Testing will be offered at NASH on Wednesday, November 22nd, at 7:30 a.m. in The Place. Please stop by the NASH Main Office to register for the test before the end of the day Monday, November 20th. The ASVAB exam measures a student’s developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success. The test takes about three hours and includes 200 items. The ASVAB tests a student’s mathematics knowledge, word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, and more. Historically, the ASVAB has been given the stereotype of the “military entrance exam”. While the test does provide a score for interested students to enlist in the military, it does not automatically mean students are military bound. The ASVAB allows students to explore a full spectrum of occupations in line with their interests and skills whether they are college, trade school, military, or work force bound. With our ever-changing workforce, the team here at NASH feels the ASVAB will give students the best direction possible when planning what they would like to do after high school. Test scores will not be released to the military unless students or families grant permission to do so and the test is free of charge. For further information, contact Lt. Col. Accamando, Senior Aerospace Instructor for the NA Air Force Junior ROTC Program, at [email protected].
