The ASVAB test will be given in the back of the library on Tuesday, December 1^st, at 7:30 a.m.  Please sign up in the counseling office to take this free test.  Included in the test is an interest inventory and career assessment.  It is a very informative test that yields valuable information about the most interesting person you know – you!  The results of the test will be delivered and analyzed for you by a school counselor, not a military recruiter.  This is a free test, but the information you receive is priceless! (And could cost up to $700 from a private testing service!)  Sign up today!!!  If you would like to prepare for the ASVAB, our RLT library website provides access to the Gale Testing database.  You have to register, but it is free as well.
