Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB): Item, Overlength and Operational Length Development of Forms 18 and 19

Abstract

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple aptitude test battery composed of 10 subtests that is used by each of the armed services to select and classify enlisted personnel. The purpose of this effort was to develop four new ASVAB forms for administration in the high schools as part of the Student Testing Program (STP). The STP serves to provide test results that can be used to identify individuals who are interested in the military and who meet enlistment qualification standards and serves as a counseling tool to aid students in pursuing careers. Keywords: Armed services vocational aptitude battery; Equipercentile equating; Parallel test; Test development.
