\nCAREEREXPLORATIONPROGRAM  \nThe ASVAB Career Exploration Program is a comprehensive career exploration and planning program that includes three major elements:  \nThe ASVAB  \n(a multiple-aptitude test battery)  \nThe FYI (Find Your Interests) interest inventory  \nThe OCCU-Find  \n(a career exploration tool)  \nA rigorous development methodology and validation process was applied during the creation of the ASVAB, the FYI, and the OCCU-Find. This document provides a summary of the essential background information on the development and validity of each of these program elements.  \nThe ASVAB: Technical Information at a Glance  \nThe ASVAB is one of the most well respected and researched tests in modern history. Literally hundreds of studies have assessed its psychometric and statistical characteristics. Virtually all published reviews of the ASVAB (e.g., Jensen, 1988; Elmore & Bradley, 1994; Rogers, 2001; Patrick, Blosel, & Gross, 2009) support the validity, strong documentation, and technical underpinnings of the ASVAB.  \nASVAB Test Descriptions and Scoring  \nThe ASVAB test battery includes eight subtests with a total of 200 items. Students receive both grade-based standard scores and score bands as well as percentile scores for each of the eight tests that comprise the ASVAB. Students also receive Career Exploration Scores expressed as standard and percentile scores. All of these scores and the Student Result Sheet are described in more detail in the Counselor Guide: Empowering Your Students. More detail on the Item Response Theory (IRT) model underlying the ASVAB scoring can be found on the Official ASVAB website.  \nRather than use individual ASVAB tests for career exploration purposes, the ASVAB Program relies on the use of specially derived Career Exploration Scores, or composites. The relationship between the individual subtests and the Career Exploration Scores is described in the table that follows.  \nThe ASVAB Career Exploration Program: Technical Summary 2  \nTable 1. Individual ASVAB Tests and Career Exploration Scores  \nIndividual ASVAB Tests Career Exploration Scores  \nWord Knowledge tests the ability to understand the meaning of words through synonyms—words having the same or nearly the same meaning as other words. The test is a measure of one component of reading comprehension since vocabulary is one of many factors that characterize reading comprehension.  \nParagraph Comprehension tests the ability to obtain information from written material. Students read different types of passages of varying lengthsand respond to questions based on information presented in each passage. Concepts include identifying stated and reworded facts, determining a sequence of events, drawing conclusions, identifying main ideas, determining the author’s purpose and tone, and identifying style and technique.  \nMathematics Knowledge tests the ability to solve problems by applying knowledge of mathematical concepts and applications. The problems focus on concepts and algorithms and involve number theory, numeration, algebraic operations and equations, geometry and measurement, and probability. Mathematics knowledge is one factor that characterizes mathematics comprehension and assesses logical thinking.  \nArithmetic Reasoning tests the ability to solve basic arithmetic problems one encounters in everyday life. One-step and multi-step word problems require addition, subtraction, multiplication, and ","cbCaiu7YlpNMCAFZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu7YlpNMCAFZ","pdf",493709,15,"English","# The ASVAB Career Exploration Program\n## The ASVAB: Technical Information at a Glance\n## ASVAB Test Descriptions and Scoring\n## Table 1.
