In the ASVAB navy hopefuls have to take some kind of coding test matching numbers to words and the like, why?

tennredbear is exactly right. They want to know if you have an apptitude for cryptology (code breaking/writing). Tough but excellent rating.\n\nGood luck!

The algorithm is designed to show your capability to code correctly. It requires you to have full understanding of the syntax of each operator and to be able to follow instructions.

As a former recruiter, the problem some have with the mess section is when you get a recruit who isn't blessed with much intelligence you can make them about three things, infantry, artillery, and a cook.  the require little training and they are in the rear (behind the scenes) so the problem they run into is some aren't very bright and also they are out of the limelight so they have a tendency to be made fun of.

What is it? The ASVAB, like most aptitude tests, measures your potential. The ASVAB predicts how well you might do in certain military branches and specialties, as well as how well you might perform in certain civilian careers. The test is an indicator only, and not the final word on your military career direction.\n\nSo how does the test "count"? Even though no one passes or fails the ASVAB, your scores are important if you're trying to get into the military. To be eligible to enlist, you must get a minimum percentile score on the ASVAB (see below). The minimum score is different for different military branches — contact your local recruiter to find out what score you need. \n\nHow is the test scored? The ASVAB is scored in more ways than you can shake a stick at. \n\nFirst, you receive a score for each of the eight subtests, and you will also receive a score for three "composite areas":\n\n\nVerbal Ability Composite = Word Knowledge Score + Paragraph Comprehension Score \nMath Ability Composite = Arithmetic Reasoning Score + Mathematics Knowledge Score \nAcademic Ability Composite = Verbal Ability Composite + Math Ability Composite \n\nSecond, your raw score is computed with this formula: \n\n\n(Word Knowledge Score x 2) + (Paragraph Comprehension Score x 2) + (Arithmetic Reasoning Score) + (Mathematics Knowledge Score) = Raw Score\n\nSo for example, if you score 30 on Word Knowledge, 15 on Paragraph Comprehension, 25 on Arithmetic Reasoning, and 25 on Mathematics Knowledge, your raw score would be 140.\n\nThe raw score is then converted into a percentile score. If you score in the 50th percentile, for example, you scored higher than 49 percent of the people who took the test. This is the score that recruiters look at when determining if you're eligible to enlist.\n\nFinally, you will also receive a Military Careers Score, which is a combination of the Academic Ability Composite score with the Mechanical Comprehension and Electronics Information scores. The score range is 140 to 240 (200 is the average). When you receive your test results, you will also receive the book Military Careers, which describes most of the positions available in the military, along with job requirements and a graph that shows your chance of acceptance based on the Military Careers Score. For example, your chances of qualifying for a certain job are 80 percent if you have a Military Careers Score of 210, but only 10 percent if you score 170 or lower.\n\nYour scores from the General Science and Auto and Shop Information subtests are not factored into any of the above, but they are used by recruiters to identify other career areas in which you might be successful. The first and most important thing is to get a good percentile score, otherwise you won't qualify for enlistment.

Being former us Navy, I know that abbreviations and acronyms abound in the Navy culture to an extreme. If I were tryign to mail a letter, I would address it as normal but put a ATTN: CNATTU line below the name. This will helpthe base post office help sort out where to deliver it.\n\nI hope this helps.

you have to find the coding, not all of the videos have it but some do. if you find one you have to copy and paste it

If it is like the Army the rate is actually pretty low.  It is in the best interest of the services to see that a recruit makes it through the process.  So they may give you are hard time but as long as you do not have a mental or physical reason not to fail you're in!

It's just sophistcated code. Ask it any complex question and you'll get answers that don't match up. Some examples I did?\n\nQ: What is one plus one?\nA: handle\nQ: Can you name three famous people?\nA: Spankey\nQ: If quizzes are quizzical, then what are tests?\nA: devil\nQ: What type of fruit should I eat?\nA: hands\n\nSo it's not even that great of a program at that.

it's important to have some idea of what the hell a doctor might have written on the chart in order to code it...\n\nand coding correctly is crucial to making sure the patient gets the benefits he's entitled to.

It's a test that  measures your proficiency in written and spoken english.  It's often a requirement for people who come from a non-english speaking country wishing to study/work in the US/UK for example.\n\nI've taken one myself, where at first there's where you will be stationed in a room and you'll be asked to listen to a tape, do some writing, interpret graphs, then the final stage of speaking to a real person where she/he will be asking you some questions, give you a piece of paper and give your views about the statements on there .... e.g. what is the importance of wearing uniforms? , and if you have a piece of jewelry, what would it be? Why is it memorable? .... something to that effect.     It's been awhile since I've taken the exam and am just trying to recall from memory. It's better than TOEFL/TSE.

No they wont accept you...you have to be of sound mind and physically fit in order to join any component of the United States Military Forces....they do an In-processing physical if you pass the ASVAB test....and if they find any thing that could hinder your performance as a soldier, navy, marines, air force...they will not let you in..alot of reasons behind it...but one is ...You could be out in combat and because of your physical handicap..it could cost u ur life and your fellow soldiers.....another is...If  you have a physical problem before you enlist...the military does not want to have to pay to repair it....that's why they have the In-processing physical....and when you retire or resign your enlistment they have an OUT-processing physical as well.....Alot of recruiters will help you if you really want to join....I am DEAF of the left ear...and I got 3 Division Generals to sign a waiver and let me into the U.S. Army...so if you're THAT determined....get a recruiter that will really work with you..in my situation they classifed me under a code that meant I couldnt be out in combat...but in combat support...its under the PULSES....of your  military record...Good Luck...and its admirable that you want to join

u gotta use somesort of code

I think this is what you are trying to do...\n\nLets say F49 is a test score, and if the test score is less than 21, it's a fail, and if it is less than 31 but more than 21 it's a pass, anything over 31 is Excellent.\n\nYou need to write the formula the other way round.  Remember that computers only work logically, and we make assumptions that don't work in logic.\n\nAn IF statement says, if this is true, do this, and if it's not, do that (where that can be a new question).\n\nSo,\n\nIF(F49<31,"IF(F49<21,"FAIL",\n"PASS")","EXCELLENT")\n\nThis says, is the score less than 31?  If it is, then is it less than 21?  If it is less than 21 enter FAIL, if it's not (and so is between 21 and 31, then enter PASS).  If the score is greater than 31, then enter EXCELLENT.\n\nSorry if this confuses you more, perhaps if you can explain exactly what you are trying to acheive.....\n\nExcel help will shed a little light, but not sure if it gives you embedded examples.

Don't you know?\nDid you get the grammar wrong (if so congrats)\nIs this code for something?

A lecturer once gave me some advice.  He was on an interview panel and gave some code to a potential candidate.  He asked what was wrong with the code - as it turns out there was nothing wrong with it, but he wanted to see how the candidate deals with logical progession in program flow.  That said, I have added some links to a sites you may find useful as a starting point . . .

I used them in a company once. The tests are designed specifically to look for the qualities that the employer is looking for. They are very accurate if designed this way. Some are 'all-purpose' and are not as good (hence cheaper)\n\nThey are very long and tedious. This is because people always start out trying to answer in the way that they believe is 'correct'. After about 25 questions people get sick of trying to relate questions and just answer honestly. So they basically throw those out and get a reliable report.\n\nEdit: What are the items?
