ASVAB Scores and Navy Jobs

Finding your Navy Job (NEC)

To join the Navy as an enlisted member, you usually must get a good score on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. The maximum ASVAB score is 99. For enlistment into the Navy, you must get a minimum ASVAB score of 31, although in same cases a 26 is permitted.

Each Navy job is given a code known as a Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC). Every NEC has different ASVAB score requirements.

The ASVAB test actually consists of several different subject areas or subtests: general science (GS); arithmetic reasoning (AR); word knowledge (WK); paragraph comprehension (PC);  mathematics knowledge (MK); electronics information (EI), auto and shop information (AS); mechanical comprehension; and assembling objects (AO).
