The PSAT - Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test is given here at Altoona Area High School each October. It is an important first step on the road to college. We recommend that all juniors who are considering pursuing a four- year degree after high school sign up in our main office to take this evaluation. It provides students with practice and insight into testing strategies, plus invaluable information for educational and career planning. In addition, the selection index given with the individual results qualifies academically superior students for scholarships and awards. See your class bulletin for this year's cost for the PSAT.

ASVAB Exam
Date: October 12, 2010

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is given every year to students who are interested in pursuing a military career. The test provides specific information to help explore both military and civilian careers. Taking the ASVAB does not obligate students to the military in any way. Representatives from the military administer the exam once during the school day each October. If you are interested in enlisting but missed this year's test, see your counselor or your recruiter to make individual arrangements.
