The ASVAB was conducted at Reagan on Dec 7, 2012. If you missed signing up for the ASVAB during the 2012-13 school year, you will have another opportunity during the 2013-14 school year. All 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students are eligible to take the test. Also, students are permitted to take the ASVAB all three years. For students interested in joining the military after high school, taking the ASVAB in the 10th grade will be a practice test and then 11th and 12th grade scores can be used for entrance into the military.
