A Soldier's personal decision to serve demonstrates collective
strength: strength from within himself/herself, strength from
within his/her family and strength from those who influence this
important war-time choice for our nation. The Army and its
Soldiers are strengthened by those who understand and support
the decision of their loved one, friend or employee to serve our
nation and elevate his or her future.

ASVAB
The Armed
Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple
choice test, administered by the United States Military Entrance
Processing Command (MEPS), used to determine qualification for
enlistment in the United States Armed Forces. In addition to
determining eligibility, the test also determines jobs
available to you in each service and enlistment bonus incentives, so you will want to do your
best when taking the ASVAB.
ASVAB
Information
How can I prepare for the ASVAB?
First, the ASVAB measures your accumulated knowledge in different
areas. So if you are currently in school, stay focused and study hard.
Your overall knowledge gained in school will most likely be reflected
in your ASVAB score. Second, though accumulated knowledge is
important, you may be able to raise your score by preparing
specifically for the ASVAB, especially in areas where you are weak. Various study guides are available for
this purpose (listed left).
What is the minimum score?
To enlist in the military you must achieve a certain score on the ASVAB to be eligible for enlistment,
though a waiver may be granted in some circumstances. Required
ASVAB entrance scores by service:
The test is offered at high schools throughout the United States to
help students and teachers assess verbal, math, science and technical
skills. See www.asvabprogram.com for more
