The Army program March2Success is available to help students with standardized test preparation and to help improve math, English and science skills. March2Success.com is free for anyone age 13 and older.

The program offers seven full-length practice tests for both the SAT and ACT, as well as a section dedicated to science, technology, engineering and math coursework, known as STEM.

The website offers assistance with the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test, but those interested in serving are not required to use the service and no personal information is collected or shared.

“More than 70 percent of today’s youth do not qualify for military service, and low aptitude accounts for nearly 10 percent of disqualifications,” said Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Snow, commanding general for U.S. Army Recruiting. “So, yes, this program can help increase the number of young people who are eligible for military service, but more importantly, it helps improve the opportunities for success for all students, regardless of their desired career path.”

The STEM tab provides tools to improve skills for a variety of career paths. It offers support for those interesting in improving skills in economics, financial accounting, calculus and physics, and offers nursing entrance exam practice tests.
