ASVAB

The ASVAB is an 8 part test given by the United States military, and while it "was originally designed to predict future academic and occupational success in military occupations" it is presently an excellent measure of what career areas students have current skills in. The ASVAB is a good tool to use in making plans and career choices. This test is given to the junior class. 

PLAN  

The PLAN is a test for sophomores and is essentially a pre-ACT test that can be a predictor of success on the ACT. Students who take the PLAN generally do better when taking the ACT for the first time. The PLAN also focuses on career preparation. More details can be found in ACT's brochure Why take the PLAN or on their PLAN website for students.

Students may register for the ACT by picking up a packet in the guidance office, or by registering online. More information is also available at http://www.actstudent.org/ .
