Navy enlisted advancement exams are not pass/fail where a certain percentage of questions must be answered correctly to attain the "go" vs. "no go" qualification status. Instead, NAC developes norm-reference exams which are designed to provide a spread of scores (rank-order) so the most knowlegeable candidates can be identified. Ultimately, the exam is developed with questions that get the core of job knowledge and technical acumen. The exam Standard Score (SS) provides the Final Multiple Score (FMS) with an element that is unbiased and fair. Bottom line, Navy enlisted advancement exams provide a tool to compare all candidates in the same rating and paygrade.

HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY CHANCE TO ADVANCE?
Enlisted advancement in the Navy is based on two primary factors - rating/paygrade vacancies and Final Multiple Score (FMS) standing among your peers. Vacancies vary from cycle to cycle, but advancement opportunity can be greatly impacted by the number of quotas authorized. Rating Enlisted Community Managers look at historic manning trends, current enlisted personnel allowances, and other factors to be sure each paygrade in a rating is optimally manned to Navy standards. When Sailors in your rating don't move up or out, there are less quotas and less opportunity to advance. You have no control over quotas, but you can impact your FMS. Each cycle, NAC rank-orders candidates by their FMS so the most qualified get advanced ahead of those with a lower FMS. Currently, there are a number of factors that can impact your FMS - Performance Mark Average (PMA), exam Standard Score (SS), Service in Paygrade (SIPG), Pass Not Advance points (PNA), education, and Awards - which also includes Individual Augmentee points (IA). Early Promote evaluations are vital to advancement in tight ratings. Your exam Standard Score shows how well you did compared to your peers. Bottom line, you can have an impact on your FMS by studying for your exam and maintaining superior performance.
Good luck to all those waiting on the November results!
