Jobs in the Navy are called "Ratings". To find the
rating you qualify for, the Navy looks at your ASVAB subtest scores - different
subtests for different ratings. The ASVAB subtests are: General Science (GS);
Arithmetic Reasoning (AR); Word Knowledge (WK); Paragraph Comprehension (PC);
Numerical Operations (NO); Coding Speed (CS); Auto and Shop Information (AS);
Mathematics Knowledge (MK); Mechanical Comprehension (MC); Electronics Information
(EI); and Sum of Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension (VE). Note that as
Numerical Operations (NO) and Coding Speed (CS) subtests are phased out, scoring
rules for ratings will be changed.
