What all is on the NAPT?
My daughter scored very well on her ASVAB and her recruiter is pushing her towards nuke. She didn't want it at first but it has grown on her. She is supposed to go to MEPS next week to take the NAPT and do her physical and everything. This is all very short notice for her and she has no idea what to study for to get ready for the NAPT. Any help on this would be great!

It's a math-heavy test, covering up through a second year high school algebra course. She should know and be able to use the quadratic formula, be able to solve for parts of a triangle using the six basic trig functions, and be able to manipulate exponents and logarithms in algebraic equations. There is some basic chemistry and physics also; covering parts of the atom (of course), what atomic weights and numbers mean and how they're used, and the basic equations dealing with energy, force, mass, velocity, friction and acceleration and how to use them. If all that sounds like gobbledeegook to her, she'd be better advised to pursue another area, but if those are something she's comfortable with, she should be in good shape. Those should be the essentials, but there might be a few other things - it's been thirty years ;). There is a pretty valid argument to be made that she's better off in the long run not trying to cram, but at most doing just a light review. Remember the intent of the test is to determine whether they're prepared for an academic program that is probably more challenging than anything they've done up to that point.

Check this out: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100108154616AAJT7Yz My son is also a Nuke and received 99th percentile on his ASVAB. They also had him take the 2nd test just to be sure he was strong in math, chemistry and physics. Typically, if they did really well in those areas on the ASVAB, they will do well on the NAPT.

Good stuff, Penny! I'm glad you were able to fill in the chemistry details that slipped my mind. The only thing I would add to your resource is the quadratic formula, which is tied up with the polynomials and binomials that were mentioned.

Thank you! My daughter looked at all of this and she said it really helps her. She is very glad that she took general chemistry and college algebra and trig while she was in college. She is really hoping that she gets nuke and isn't too worried anymore about passing the test.

Yay! So glad that helped, and yes - if she had those classes and is comfortable with the material, she has all the preparation for the academic part of the program she needs. Penny, that may sound like it's way out there, but I guarantee it made sense to craftsherry's daughter, with her background...
