Boy's state

Do high school kids in TN routinely take the ASVAB?

Is there a space on the application asking for the ASVAB score?

I don't know the answer - just never heard of it being something that mattered or was tracked in the nomination /appointment process

If my DD took it or was ever asked about it I would be surprised and she has an appointment to USAFA and USNA

She did attend Girls State which motivated her to apply to USNA. Also I think Corker and Alexander both attended Boys State - so if for no other reason - I would think they weigh it favorably during the nomination process because they were part of it
Some TN HS do offer and encourage ASVAB testing, at least the ones who are military supportive. Some don't unless requested. Yes there is a space on the application. Yes high ASVAB scores on Service Academy applications are considered, "especially for NON sport recruits". The ASVAB tests cover general science, arithmetic reasoning, word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, numerical operations, coding speed, auto and shop information, mathematics knowledge, mechanical comprehension and electronics information. ASVAB tests are well rounded, encompassing "real" science vs ACT graphs for it's science test.
Congrats on the appointment to USNA.
 
What if I never gotten a chance to go to boys states? I’m planning on applying in college and I was wondering if there are any other programs to join for the service academy?

Hi Unionrang - this is an old post.....Boys State is only for boys after their junior year in high school. I know it's a great opportunity but since you would not qualify you will need to look for other opportunities. I am sure there are many other things you can get involved in once you are in college - check out all the opportunities and go to the Service Academy's website and read everything about applying once you are a college student.
