The total score on your ASVAB is not the actual score they are looking at..it is the line scores. It can be very confusing...but here is what it says is needed for nukes: VE+AR+MK+MC+NAPT >or=290 AND NAPT >or=50 or AR+MK+EI+GS+NAPT >or=290 AND NAPT >or=50 or AR+MK+EI+GS >or=252 or VE+AR+MK+MC >or=252

From my sons experience, most nukes that went in directly off the ASVAB scored in the mid 90's on the overall score. Basically you need to be really high in the line score for math and science to go with not having to test again taking the NAPT. Understand also if you do not qualify..dont take it too badly...that is a VERY hard path in the nuke field..and the drop rate is VERY high, and so is the suicide rate!
