PSAT/NMSQT
The National Merit Scholarship program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships. The program, which began in 1955, is conducted annually by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), a not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance.
High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) in their junior year, and meeting other participation requirements. PSAT/NMSQT Selection Index scores (the sum of verbal, math, and writing skills scores) serve as an initial screen of more than a million entrants and are used to designate those who receive National Merit Program recognition.
The PSAT/NMSQT is given in the fall.
ASVAB
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has provided the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), a nationally-normed, multi-aptitude test battery, to high schools and post-secondary schools since 1968. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program has been designed to encourage students to increase their level of self-knowledge and to understand how that information could be linked to civilian and military occupational characteristics.
The ASVAB Program recently was redesigned to be helpful to virtually all students, whether they are planning on immediate employment after high school in civilian or military occupations, or further education at a university, community college, or vocational institution.
