Title: New to Navy Nuke, Info. on NAPT.

Nevermind, thanks for the help...but since my internet was out before the test....I really didn't get to read, but thanks anyways to all who posted!

1. That's about right, although the physics is mostly covered in a high school physical science class.
2. It depends on your background and what kind of test taker you are. I did fine on mine 17 years ago and took it before HS physics, so you should be fine.
3. Relax. Get a good nights sleep. If you've been reviewing and studying up until now, refresh on how to work problems tonight and then take tomorrow off.

Good luck. Hopefully I'll see you as one my students at NPTU in a couple years.

Sherman, set the Way-Back machine to 12 years ago.

If my memory serves correctly, the first question I came across had to do with chemistry.  Started off looking VERY difficult until I got to the actual question in which they simply wanted to know what the arrow was pointing to on a standard element block on the Periodic table and what it meant(I think it was the atomic number of lead or another element).  Seeing as I took it on very little sleep and on the same day I did everything that was required at MEPS(ASVAB, Medical, etc), I don't remember a lot of the test.  I do know that I hadn't done physics or chemistry in over a year but managed to pull down a 57 on the test with no studying.  Your best bet is just to go over some of your basic chemistry and physics stuff again, brush up on your math like algebra and exponents, and most importantly, remember to read the ENTIRE question before answering.

I just took the NAPT on Tuesday this week after scoring a 90 asvab and 243 line score. Coming in to taking the test I read up and was told there was Alg 2, Chem, and Physics. I never took Physics in my life so those were the tough ones for me but mostly it was easy math and general knowledge science questions.

1. So on the test there was geometry, algebra, general knowledge science, and physics and chemistry solutions that were basic.
2. I scored a 60 and needed to score a 50 w/o taking physics so if you prepare you should pass. Don't stress out about it go in calm and relaxed and just imagine yourself passing and you will succeed.
3.Like I said above: sleep well, relax and go in confident.
