Clarification needed for NUC line scores and the NAPT.

warehimer33 · 08-15-2012, 07:42 PM

I got a NUC score of 247 so I have to take the NAPT. I understand I have to score a 290( my NUC score and NAPT combined). The nuclear power test information(http://www.navycs.com/navy-nuclear-power-test.html) says I have to score a minimum of 55 on the NAPT. So does this mean I have to score a 55 and not just a 43(for my NUC score with the NAPT to be 290)on the NAPT? This is really bewildering.

you have to get 55 or better on the NAPT anything less, you will fail.

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...

I automatically qualified for it, so I never took the test, but I had a lot of Nukes in my division, and they said it was easy...If you are good at math, it should be a breeze...Just relax and stop Nuking it

If you rate as a Nuke, get used to hearing that in boot camp haha

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.
