Oh, so I guess the 290 qual is for the people who need greater than a 55. Well this sucks. I hope it's not hard...

Haha, yeah I hear that from all the Nukes that go through basic. I think I already am nuking it and I haven't even enlisted yet. lol

I had a nuke score high enough to not require the bravo test (NFQT, if you need it you're a nuke bravo- they expect you to have a harder time), except my math grades in college were HORRIBLE, so I had to take it. Its really easy, but I watched people that I helped prepare for their 2nd attempt really struggle.
If you got to take it, your recruiter can help you out with some NKO lessons to prepare. |

When I took the NAPT almost 2 years ago. The minimum passing was 50. I got a 55. For me personally, who at the time had not had a math class in over 7 years, found it very difficult, and I am good at math. For others though, I hear it was relatively easy. How good are you at ADVANCED math, physics, and chemistry?

Study up on your math, thats the bulk of it as I recall. I auto-qual'd as a nuke, but had to take the 2nd test because of how long I'd been out of school (I'm an old man, so they made me take it, and scored a 64; after finishing 45 minutes early). Just make sure you review and study your math and the other topics your recruiter points out to you.

I just graduated HS in 2012 so it hasn't been too long since I've had a math class BUT I haven't had a "real" math class since my junior year. I took AP Stat last year; dumbest class in the world. All my math classes have been honors so I'm not really concerned about the math. I'm just fretting about the physics because I've never taken it nor dealt with any physics problems through my math classes. I took honors chem my sophomore year and don't remember really anything as I took it online. I forgot even how to balance equations... -_- My recruiter gave me this sheet that has a butt-load of physics formulas on the front as well as scientific notation and the back of it is all trig but trig is easy to me. SOH CAH TOA, right? lol I don't know at this point. I'm waiting on my recruiter to call me saying he's scheduled me for the NAPT. Until then I'm reading about topics in a college physics book trying to remember the formulas just in case one pops up. I feel so unprepared but I know once I take it I'll be like, "oh, that was it?!". That's pretty much what really concerns me about this test... That and not knowing what will be on it fo' sho'. Anybody know about the calculators(can we use our own? if not, what do they give us?)? I've read that the test is 2 hrs for 80 questions and it's all multiple choice. Any confirmation? Sorry this is a lot but I chose Navy instead of UCF so I have a lot riding on this enlistment. lol
