Navy Bibliographies (bibs) are provided by the Navy Advancement Center to help Sailors prepare for the Navy Advancement Exam. Seabee Online has posted all rate-specific bibs for you (below) to easily download from our web site.

Preparing for your advancement exam can seem overwhelming. Although there are many resources available, there is no quick way to prepare for it. The most important factor is to START EARLY! Don't wait until the last minute to gather your materials and begin studying. The following tips can help you develop a study plan that will make the most of your time and effort:

Periodically visit the bib links on Navy COOL to ensure your bib has not changed.
Begin reviewing your references, and determine the amount of time needed to cover each reference.
Create a study schedule, making sure to break information into manageable chunks.
Use study tools that work for you, such as flashcards, notes and study groups.
Take advantage of command-sponsored training classes, such as warfare qualifications, damage control and rating-specific Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS).

Check in with your LPO or LCPO if you have any questions, and log into Navy COOL via My Navy Portal Here you will find lots of useful information, including frequently asked questions about the exam.
