The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) will be administered at West on Friday, October 18, 2019 at 7:30 AM in the library. The test is free to all students in grades 10-12. Developed by the Department of Defense, the ASVAB Career Exploration Program helps students to identify potential careers in both the military and civilian workforce. Although the military uses this testing to help identify occupational specialists, students who plan to attend college or technical school will also benefit from this exam, as it helps them to focus their interests on relevant career paths. There is no military obligation required by taking the ASVAB.

Students who are interested in taking the test should see their guidance counselor for a permission form. Students can also review sample ASVAB test questions on www.asvabprogram.com or www.march2success.com.

All permission forms must be returned to Guidance no later than October 16, 2019.

Students interested in applying for physical education waivers must meet with their counselor to begin the process. The deadline for submission of PE waivers is Friday, September 19, 2019.

Changes are coming to the Collegeboard's Advanced Placement Program beginning in the fall. AP registration will take place once students are scheduled into the AP online classroom during the first class cycle. Students must decide about taking AP exams and pay in the fall so that exams can be ordered by the new Collegeboard deadline. The AP experience will largely remain the same—students will be enrolled in classes at the same time, and exams will still be administered in May—but there are a few changes they'll notice throughout the 2019-20 school year. The biggest advantage will be that students have access to more AP practice and feedback resources.
