Spring ASVAB Testing
On Tuesday, March 5th, from 8am-10:00 am, Lackey High School will conduct ASVAB testing for any interested Junior or Senior. There will be limited seating (50 students). The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) helps identify which careers you qualify for. It does NOT bind you in any way to joining the military. CCPS is also offering a test date in the Spring on April 27, 2024. There should be at least 30 days in-between testing sessions that you participate in. As a reminder, if a student is going to use their score for enlistment, the military will pull the most recent score. You can also visit the Media Center or the College & Career Center for study books.
Two great study websites are www.march2success.com and www.asvab-prep.com THIS TEST WILL BE AN ONLINE TEST. PLEASE BRING YOUR FULLY CHARGED LAPTOP FOR THE TEST.
