ASVAB Report
Contents
Report Description
The ASVAB Report is used to submit student test results for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery assessment. This state submission is required annually in June. To be included in the report, the ASVAB test must be set up in the PowerSchool Tests component as described in the District Setup section. The Test configuration requires specific naming conventions for the Test and each Test Score item. Once the Test configuration is in place, ASVAB test score results must be entered or imported into PowerSchool Test Results. The report may be run from the district, or from an individual school. The Reporting School Code for the student’s current, active school of enrollment will be output.
Selection Criteria
Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. Refer to selection criteria for analysis when the report does not return the correct records.
Student Selection
- The student must be actively enrolled when the report is run if the current school year has not yet ended. If the report is run after the close of the PowerSchool Term for the selected school year, students who were active on the final day of school are included.
- The student must be in grades 09-12.
- The student must have a Test Scores record where the Test Name is “ASVAB”, and where the Test Date falls on or between July 1 and June 30 of the selected PowerSchool Term.
Test Results
The state requires that the Test Date and Military Entrance Score be reported. Scores for the additional ASVAB subtest categories are optional, and are output if populated in the PowerSchool ASVAB Test record. If the student has multiple ASVAB Test results within the school year, the test record containing the highest Military Entrance Score is used when reporting the Test Date and the Entrance Score. Similarly, the highest scores achieved within the school year for the other ASVAB subtests are also reported if populated.
Note: In order to use the ASVAB report, Missouri districts must complete the ASVAB Test configuration in District Setup, and must enter or import student ASVAB test results. Refer to the Missouri State Reporting Guide for details on the required setup and data entry.
