My first score was 44 and my recruiter told me to retake, so I did. I retook it and my second score was a 49. Don't retake it because an OAR score of 50 and above is good for Surface Warfare Officer. I would hold off on using your third and last attempt just in case you don't get picked up for boards. Should this scenario come, go retake it a 3rd and last time with the option of reapplying to the very next SWO board only if there is "
significant change to your package and application." Designators don't want you reapplying to the same designator boards as there is a, "6 month wait in place from the date the results are signed until a person can reapply for the same designator, unless the person has shown
significant change in the application (OAR or GPA)," got this quote from a well known airwarriors member.
But yeah a 50 and above OAR is the magic number for Surface Warfare Officer. If anything I'd say if you can increase your GPA, but your 3.3 GPA is still solid as it is close to averages of 3.4 where people selected are at for SWO.
What NRC considers competitive

3.4 GPA, 50 OAR score
