ASVAB Testing

ASVAB Testing at Hutto High school will be held

November 13, 2024.

The ASVAB stands for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, a standardized test used to rate an individual’s aptitude for service in the United States Armed Forces. It helps recruitment officers determine an individual’s suitability for particular branches of service or for specific military jobs. It is used by the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard.

It is NOT an intelligence test, but rather a test of one’s individual strengths and weaknesses in areas such as math, science, and reading, as well as one’s current knowledge of specific mechanical, electronic, automotive, and shop concepts.

 The ASVAB will be optional for juniors and seniors. Signup for the ASVAB test will open in early November.

To enlist in any branch of the military:

  • You must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien.

  • You must be at least 17 years old (17-year old applicants require parental consent).

  • You must (with very few exceptions) have a high school diploma.

  • You must pass a physical medical exam.

  • You must pass the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test (ASVAB). Score requirements vary from 31 to 36 depending upon the branch of the military.

  • Note: some branches limit occupational fields for females.

  • Note: students who participate in high school JROTC can enlist at a higher rank and pay grade than students who do not.
