ASVAB scores for Navy jobs

"Check my scores" (on 32 of the 33 ratings) opens our ASVAB line score calculator with that rating's sums loaded: type the standard scores from your score sheet and it adds them up for you. Ratings whose only route uses a test outside the ASVAB, or a retired subtest, have no check link.

The Navy keeps the binding list, the C-WAY rating list, inside its own systems. The community pages and the last public rating list are what you can read; where they differ, the note on the row says so.

Read a requirement like "VE+AR+MK+MC 210" as: take your Verbal Expression, Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge and Mechanical Comprehension standard scores, add them, and the total must be 210 or more. Standard scores sit on a scale with a mean of 50, so four average scores make 200. A "2MK" means Mathematics Knowledge is counted twice, which is how the technical ratings weight math.

Verbal Expression is a single standard score built from Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension and printed on your score sheet. A few older combinations still name PC on its own, and some name CS (Coding Speed), a subtest no longer given; those routes are effectively closed, so you qualify through the other combination.

This is why Navy sums reward balance. A strong Mechanical Comprehension score can carry a weaker Arithmetic Reasoning score on a four-score sum, which is not true of a single minimum. Our line score calculator does the adding for you.

Four subtests at 63 each add up to 252, so the Nuclear Field asks for roughly one standard deviation above average across math, science and electronics or mechanics. The electronics ratings (ET, FC, STG) need about 56 a subtest. By contrast Logistics Specialist at VE+AR 92 asks for two scores averaging 46, a little below the mean.

Special warfare and diving list more than one route and add fitness tests and screening; their ASVAB sums are modest compared with the nuclear and cyber ratings, but the pipelines that follow are not.
