cycle, for these two paygrades. Approximately mid to
late August each year, commands receive the
NAVADMIN message, which provides the basic
eligibility requirements for senior and master chief petty

RECOMMENDED TIME SCHEDULE
FOR ADMINISTRATION OF
EXAMINATIONS
The commanding officer of each activity
schedules the exact time of day Navywide
examinations will be administered. However, the
commanding officer must not allow candidates to
exceed the time limit of 3 hours for Navywide
examinations or allow them to take any breaks. Take
care that nearby activities do not conduct examinations
at such time that compromise is possible. Unless
deviation is necessary, follow this schedule:
0730 Candidates muster (military ID cards required).
Proctors muster at the same time.
0745 After candidates are seated, sealed examinations,
worksheets, and all other materials required for
administering the examination are distributed.
0800 The General and Verbatim Instructions for the
Administration of Navywide Advancement
Examinations are read (verbatim instructions
are provided by NETPDTC).
The verbatim
instructions tell candidates how to fill in the
answer sheets from the information provided on
the worksheets, as well as, other pertinent
information.
