First off, congratulations! I'm going in November and I can't wait! This might be an unusual question, but what are the test formats like? Multiple choice, fill in the blank, or do you have to know everything word for word?

A guy who was a at our last dep meeting is about 2-3 years in and he said every test you'll ever take in the Navy is multiple choice

Thanks a lot! Yea all the tests are multiple choice and you pretty much get all the answers in the study guides that they give you. If you fail any of the 3 tests at boot it's because you just plain didn't pay attention cause they go over all the test material a lot. I never scored under a 4.8 on any of that tests and that's on a 5.0 scale.

Can you please give me the format on how they will ask a question? Preferably with the ranks, and how would I formally answer?

They'll say for example who is the ships LCPO? Lets say it was a petty officer that asked you. You'll say "Petty officer, the ships LCPO is senior chief Kenner Petty officer" you have to remember to sandwich your answer by addressing the person that asked you the question at the beginning and the end of the answer.

Would it be best if I sound off? Or is that a bad thing

Probably depends on your RDC. Just don't mumble. If they want you to be louder, I'm sure they'll tell you so.

Might be an OCS/RTC difference, but we were taught never to sandwich.

Yea at RTC they teach you to sandwich everything except when you're asked a question during weapons turnover inspection.
