The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) will be available to sophomores, juniors, and seniors at Plainfield North High School on Tuesday, October 21. The test is scheduled from 8 a.m. to approximately 11 a.m.
The ASVAB evaluates students' natural abilities in eight different areas. It is intended to help students identify their strengths and explore how these strengths may connect to potential career paths. While the ASVAB serves as the entrance exam for the U.S. military, school officials emphasize that "there is absolutely no military commitment whatsoever by taking this test."
Students interested in participating can sign up in Student Services until Monday, October 20.
