Beginning in January 2002, Navy Advancement Examinations will have 200 questions, some of which will be based on occupational standards and others on professional military knowledge (PMK). The occupational/PMK ratios are 100/100 for E7, 115/85 for E6, 135/65 for E5, and 150/50 for E4. The occupational questions will be presented first, with the PMK questions following. The PMK questions will be identical for all candidates, across ratings, within pay grades. In other respects, guidance for 200 item exams will be the same as for the 150 item examinations; only the exam length will change. The bibs will continue to be exam specific. Time of administration will continue to be three hours.

Note: Please check the Navy Advancement site periodically to ensure you have the most up-to-date guidance.  This information is updated when errors are found or may be updated to reflect changes.
