LCAC Psychometer Standard Score Impact

[headhoncho15]

Hello all! New on here.

I just took the ASTB and had a LCAC Psychometer Standard Score (LPSS) of 62. My first time taking it, I had a 51. I was wondering if a higher # indicates better or worse, and if there is a target # to be in range of. Also, is this LPSS portion factored into the PFAR or other scoring components? Was hoping to hear what y'all think. Thanks

Have you discussed your scores with your recruiter? That would be a good start.

So you're as stable as a Landing Craft Air Cushion tester goes?

Maybe ask the Corpsman if you should take the silver bullet test, you might be overheating.

I was also wondering what that score refers to. I scored a 59 and my recruiter doesn't know what it is.

Can't seem to find any information about it online.

What was your PFAR with a LPSS of 62? With my 59 I have a 6 PFAR but unsure if they are related.

My PFAR was a 7. I got a 6/7/7. Unsure if it’s factored in and I couldn’t find any threads related to it in the search bar.

I’m NROTC so I asked the officer in charge but didn’t get a clear response. I couldn’t find any answers in the search bar either. Maybe it’s just one of those things that there isn’t a clear answer on.

Sorry I’m NROTC I’m not sure

Every ROTC dude and dudette here just facepalmed in disappointment.

You're going to be a great SWO kid, I can feel it.

The Navy and DoD use a few different scoring methods.

If the max is 80, then it's most likely similar to enlisted advancement exams, where 50 is the median, and every 10 points is a standard deviation

If the max is 99, then the score is your percentile (like the overall ASVAB score; individual ASVAB sections are different).

The ASTB is a stanine scale.

Dude. As the head honcho, you have to be able to take a joke.

If you can’t take a joke or have a pissy attitude perhaps you should be a SWO.

That wasn’t sarcasm, he answered my question. Apologies if it seemed that way
