The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test is offered to anyone, but it is mainly for students who are trying to enter the military.
The test is scheduled for April 19.
The test is multiple choice and given to students in over 14,000 schools.
Scores on the ASVAB test determine how qualifiareole is for certain military positions and it shows areas that are in need of improvement.
Of course getting a higher school diploma will also increase your chances of joining the military.
The test consist of certain areas including arithmetic reasoning, auto and shop information, electronics information, general science, mathematics knowledge, mechanical comprehension, and word knowledge? Earned points in the ASVAB count towards one’s AFQT which determines qualification to enlist in the U.S military.
Everyone in high school is allowed to take the ASVAB but the test really does not count until sophomore, junior, and senior year.
Freshmen are allowed to take it and it will give them a sense of what the test is like if they do.
The test has been offered once a year at South Lakes but this year it is offered two times due to high demand of students to take the test.

I have written the litbrteo for an opera, Biafra, based, in part, on my experiences working with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) during the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War. Earlier, I published a memoir, War Stories: A Memoir of Nigeria and Biafra. In 2009, I attended a conference in Abuja, the first time in 40 years that I had been there! The composer Nathan Blume and I are raising funds to complete the scoring of the opera and see it performed by opera companies. You can find the 20 minutes’ worth of the opera that has been scored and performed so far on YouTube just search for Biafra the opera and you will find it in three parts Click from 1 to 2 to 3 and see the closing scene of Act II. The woman portraying the Red Cross nurse is actually wearing my ICRC badge from 1968-69. (I was first a Peace Corps Volunteer in Eleme, outside of Port Harcourt, was evacuated when the war began, spent a year in Malawi, then returned to work with the Red Cross at Ikeja Airport and, later, with a food/medical team based in Elele.) I am hoping to return to Nigeria to lecture and share my experiences as well as how I used those experiences to create artistic works.
