story of my life

Thaty why they made Syllabus for!

Navy here, too. I know the feeling. First 2 times up I felt destroyed by the test and ended up just missing it. Today I know I did much better and I'm sure you'll see in November that it went a lot better than you thought. For those not in the Navy, it's a 175 question test and they tell you what can possibly be on the test and it's from like 2000 possible questions from a dozen different sources? Some of the publications are like a 1000 pages. There is no real way to prepare. For the rest of my Navy brothers and sisters taking exams this month, good luck I'm sure you all did much better than it feels like right now! Hooyah!

That's exactly what happened on my GRE's. I studied all summer (took an online class and worked with a tutor) and I still got horribly low scores. Some people, regardless of how well they know the subject material, are just not good test takers.

I know it's tough and it sucks when you do your 110% and it's not necessarily enough. what kind of helps me fet through it though is that you don't know what would have happened if you hadn't studied as much. Just a way I sometimes see the world. Anyways my sympathies OP

Gah is this what E-4 and above deal with, I've only heard legends from my RDCs in boot. 0_0

Navy? 175 question test you are supposed to read 18 manuals to prepare for? Don't worry, it's graded on a curve

I think you are quite fortunate that the questions don't change much...but I can probably guarantee that the quiz is online for a practice... Good luck next time OP or hey you may get it this time depending on the guesses you made...

Its because you studied too long. The brain can only process info for 20-30 minutes. Next time take short breaks between and a long break as well. But still sorry OP. Hopefully they will give you another shot.

sounds like navy advancement test lol
