Preparing for the advancement exam is the same as preparing for any other exam with one difference - you are your own teacher. You must set up your own study time and more important, you must gather your advancement study material on your own. If you have ever looked at your bibs you will know how difficult this can be. Hopefully, Navy Advancement Study Guide & Bupers News will help you in this area.

As an enlisted sailor, knowing what to study is important! The enlisted exam has 200 questions; some are based on Navy Occupational Standards (Occ) and others on Professional Military Knowledge (PMK). The Occupational/ PMK question ratios are:

Exam Occ / PMK
E-7 - 100 / 100
E-6 - 115 / 85
E-5 - 135 / 65
E-4 - 150 / 50

The occupational (your enlisted rate) questions will be first, with the PMK questions following. The occupational standard questions will be the same for all rates within pay grades. So that means that each pay grade, regardless of rate, will have the same military questions. Now that's some good gouge for study groups! The bibs will continue to be exam specific.
