Thrive! ASVAB CEP Test
The ASVAB CEP (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Career Exploration Program) is the only comprehensive and completely no-cost career planning resource that empowers students nationwide to align their strengths and interests with a post-secondary plan. The CEP involves three assessments: (a) the ASVAB, an aptitude test that estimates your capacity for academic and vocational endeavors; (b) the Find Your Interests (FYI) inventory, which identifies job activities you would like to perform; and (c) the Work Values Situational Judgment Activity (WV SJA), which identifies what you most value in, and desire to receive from, the work you do.
Following ASVAB administration (about 90 minutes), students will participate in a Post-Test Interpretation (PTI) session where they (a) learn what their ASVAB scores mean, (b) complete the FYI and WV SJA, and (c) begin to explore occupations. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend the PTI session.
ASVAB CEP is open to students in 10th grade and above (college students included). There is no obligation to military service or to speak to a recruiter. Indeed, students need not have any interest in the military whatsoever to participate in and benefit from ASVAB CEP.
Students need to be registered for the conference to take the test. Any type of registration works: full conference, vendor hall only, or teen coming without family. However, they either need to be preregistered or register onsite on Thursday or Friday. If the student is preregistered, and doesn’t come until Saturday morning, we will have someone in the room to check you in.
They need to bring a laptop or Chromebook, and paper and pencil.
ASVAB CEP and the accompanying PTI session will be provided on Saturday morning from 8-11 AM in the Gallery Ballroom in Benton South.
Your contact info will be given to the test providers.
Deadline to register online for the test is May 14 or as space allows. If it does not fill up by the deadline, you may go by the booth 14 and sign up onsite.
