Due to school closing, the spring ASVAB was cancelled. If you’re still interested in taking the ASVAB, there are two ways that you can do so.

• If you are a current junior student, the ASVAB will be offered next year in October 2020 and March 2021. The sign-up form for the test will be emailed to you once the test date is near. In the meantime, you can start preparing for the ASVAB by taking practice tests online or by contacting a recruiter for a practice exam.
