Overview
This bill would allow students in New Jersey to use the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB-AFQT) test as an alternative way to demonstrate graduation proficiency, instead of the standard State graduation proficiency test. Currently, the ASVAB-AFQT is listed as one of several acceptable substitute competency tests. The bill aims to reinstate this option, ensuring students have more flexibility in meeting graduation requirements. This change would align with existing regulations allowing for alternative assessments like the SAT and ACT.
