ASVAB and NAPT

prop827 · 07-08-2012, 12:40 AM

We have a shortage of nukes in the fleet, we need them bad, so a contract is definitely doable, the problem is there is a major backlog of people who have graduated power school and are waiting to go to prototype. This is the cause of the far out ship dates, class up at prototype taking so long. I remember when I left it was about a 6 month delay to ship, no idea what it is now.

Has anybody recently taken the NFQT? I am really curious because I read on Google that the recruiter can grade your exam but that seems a little sketchy to me. Is it taken at MEPS or is it taken at the recruiting office??

I just took it about a month ago. I had to go to MEPS, and the admin graded it as soon as I was done. It's not too bad, this coming from someone who has not taken a serious math class in almost 3 years.

I'm really only nervous about the chem and physics part of the test. I've never taken physics and I took chem over 2 years ago... My NUC score was 247 so does that mean I have to only get a 43 on the NFQT or do I have to still get the minimum passing score which I believe is a 55...?

There really was not all that much chemistry and physics. And, I have not taken chemistry and/or physics since high school which was over 6 years ago, and I did fine.

I believe you still have to get a 55. I am not completely sure though. You can ask you test administrator though, because they will grade it when you are done.

Calie is right, the chemistry and physics isn't emphasized more than it is for math. Any formulas that you would need to know is given on that test so as long as your math is your strong subject, you'll get 60+ easily. You even get a calculator! Whereas the ASVAB didn't, so that made it even easier :-)

Is the math on NAPT like that on the ASVAB or much harder?
