My daughter took the student version of the ASVAB at her high school yesterday, but there was no nuclear section on it.

The recruiter said the student ASVAB was the same as the regular, but that does not appear to be the case (nor would the recruiter return my text when I pointed this out and asked her how my daughter should proceed).

Can anybody tell me if my daughter can auto-qualify for nuke school with just the student version of the ASVAB?  Or will she need to wait until she is 17 and take the full version at MEPS?

Thanks

not sure, but going to guess that for Nuke rating she will have to take the full version.....

to be honest, I would be surprised if a student version was officially qualifying for anything......

I found this:

Does the ASVAB differ if I take it at my school versus at a MEPS or a MET site?

The ASVAB is given in schools as part of the Career Exploration Program (also called the Student Testing Program). The ASVAB is given at MEPS or MET sites as part of the Enlistment Testing Program. The contents of the ASVAB are the same across the Student and Enlistment Testing Programs, except that the Assembling Objects test is given in the Enlistment Testing Program but not the Student Testing Program. Different composite scores are reported across the Student and Enlistment Testing Programs. The composite scores are formed from different combinations of scores on the individual ASVAB tests. In the Student Testing Program, examinees receive three composite scores called Verbal Skills, Math Skills, and Science and Technical Skills. In the Enlistment Testing Program, examinees receive an AFQT score and Service composite scores, used for military job assignment.

As far as I know, there is no specific "Nuc" section. One may qualify based upon the overall score on the ASVAB....

I believe that she will have to take the ASVAB when she is old enough to enlist...so have her study and take the ones available at school for now...just for practice. The higher she scores, the more choices she will have available. She can't pre-qualify for anything at the moment at 16!
