20. I took that test in the 70s
Edited on Mon Apr-05-04 03:03 PM by Kimber Scott
Every kid takes it, that I know of. It's called the ASVAB. (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery.) You might have taken it and not known what it was for. It measures aptitudes in math, electronics, clerical, mechanical, etc. (on edit - the scores are used when a new recruit is trying to qualify for various jobs within the military.) The scores are sent to your local recruiters and the school is required to give your child's name, address and phone number to military recruiters, unless you go to the school and fill out a form requesting they don't. SOP. Been that way for a VERY long time, although, I think only recently they started the opt out program for the name and address info.

You can call any of your local recruiters and request the scores.
