Parents and the public must have transparent, trustworthy, comparable information about student outcomes.  \n• A single statewide assessment that measures academic learning and provides comparable data is foundational to that transparency.  \n1. What Is theASVAB?  \nThe Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple-choice aptitude test developed and administered by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) .  \nThe ASVAB serves two purposes, both of which are military in nature:  \n1. Enlistment eligibility: A subset of ASVAB scores produces the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) score, which determines whether an individual qualifies to enlist in the military.  \n2. Military job placement: The branches of the military use the full battery of subtest scores to assign recruits to specific military occupational specialties based on each service branch’s needs.  \nThe test consists of 10 subtests spanning four domains:  \n• Verbal: Word Knowledge (WK)*, Paragraph Comprehension (PC)*  \n• Math: Arithmetic Reasoning (AR)*, Mathematics Knowledge (MK)*  \n• Science/Technical: General Science (GS), Electronics Information (EI), Auto Information (AI), Shop Information (SI), Mechanical Comprehension (MC)  \n• Spatial: Assembling Objects (AO)  \nThe DoD draws a clear distinction between the ASVAB and academic tests. According to the official ASVAB FAQ maintained by the DoD, achievement tests administered in schools assess what students have already learned.  \nSince the ASVAB is a military placement or “employment test,” states can use the test in accountability systems to measure College and Career Readiness (CCR) . South Carolina, Tennessee, North Dakota, and Virginia are states using the ASVAB as a measure of CCR.  \n*Subtests that make up AFQT  \n1  \nState leaders could incorporate ASVAB into CCR measures that:  \n• Pair qualifying ASVAB scores with military enlistment to denote readiness  \n• Tier ASVAB with other measures of readiness of similar rigor  \n• Report disaggregated data for each measure that comprises the high school’s total CCR score  \nKey point: The entity that created and administers theASVAB defines it as an employment test—not an academic achievement test. TheASVAB can be used to measure CCRin accountability systems, but it is not a replacement for academic achievement tests.  \n2. What theASVAB Measures—and What It Does Not  \nWhat It Measures  \nThe ASVAB measures a narrow set of aptitudes that the military has determined are predictive of success in military training and occupational performance. These include basic verbal and math reasoning, knowledge of mechanical and electrical principles, familiarity with automotive and shop tools, and spatial reasoning.  \nThe AFQT score—the single number used for enlistment eligibility—is derived from only four of the ten subtests: Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Arithmetic Reasoning, and Mathematics Knowledge. The remaining six subtests exist to sort recruits into military career tracks.  \nWhat It Does Not Measure  \nThe ASVAB does not assess many of the competencies that state academic standards require students to demonstrate. Critical gaps include:  \n• No writing assessment: The ASVAB contains no written composition, essay, or constructed-response component of any kind. The ASVAB doesn’t ask students to produce original written work.  \n• No higher-order thinking tasks: Unlike state academic assessments, the test is entirely multiple-choice. There are notasks requiring analysis, synthesis, argumentation, evidence-based reasoning, or problem-solving beyond selecting from pre-determined options.  \n• No alignm","cbCaicD7ReCG8n0o","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicD7ReCG8n0o","pdf",371340,"English","# What Is the ASVAB?\n## What the ASVAB Measures—and What It Does Not\n## How the Military Uses the ASVAB","[{\"question\":\"What is the ASVAB and who administers it?\",\"answer\":\"The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a multiple-choice aptitude test developed and administered by the U.S. Department of Defense.
