     PSAT/NMSQT

The PSAT measures critical reading skills, math problem-solving skills and writing skills. Altoona Area Senior HS recommends that juniors take the PSAT in order to receive feedback about strengths and weaknesses and to help prepare for the SAT.

 

Students must answer all of the questions on the following pages in order to complete the exam registration. A confirmation page indicates that the exam registration process has been successfully completed.

Altoona Area Senior HS is excited to offer families the ability to pay their exam fees online at the time of registration. Please be sure to have a credit card or debit card available before beginning registration.

ASVAB

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.
