Initial Operational Test and Evaluation of Forms 20, 21, and 22 of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)

Abstract

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple- choice test battery administered to all applicants for active-duty and reserve enlistment in the United States Armed Services. In Addition, it is administered to approximately one million students each year as part of the Department of Defense (DoD) Student Testing Program. The battery consists of the ten subtests listed in Table 1. In addition, Verbal (VE)--which is the two subtests, Word Knowledge (WK) and Paragraph Comprehension (PC)-- is treated like a separate subtest in many analyses and applications. Various combinations of the subtest standard scores form composites that are used DoD and the Services for determining eligibility for enlistment and for classification into military occupations
