Basics
-The NAPT is an 80 question test.
-You need 55/80 to pass.
-You will be given a calculator. Do not bring yours.
-Pencils and 2 scrap sheets will be provided.
-You are given 2 hours to complete the test.(Maybe and extra 20 minutes I don't rememeber.)
-Bring State issued ID(Drivers License) and Social Security Card
Test Includes
-Physics
-Algebra II
-Chemistry
-Geometry

Tips for taking the NAPT
-Read questions carefully and understand what you are looking for.
-Don't over think.
-Like I said earlier you only need 55/80 so don't stress one question.

How I did? What did I do?
-I scored 60/80
-I reviewed the basics of everything I listed the night before.
-Showed up 30 minutes early to MEPS alerted them I was there.
-Waited an hour
-Got called to take NAPT
-Walked into a Petty Officer's room and sat at a classroom desk.
-Began the test and finished in 1 hour and 40 minutes.
-3 hours later got a call from my recruiter saying I passed.

Hopefully this was helpful.

Having recently taken the NAPT I would definitely agree. However, I would add that you need to be able to do the mathematics behind the Chem and Physics. You absolutely need a strong mathematical foundation.
