In each rating, the Final Multiple Score (FMS) needed to advance depends on two factors, vacancies at the next-higher paygrade (quotas) and each candidate's FMS standing among peers. For example, 100 E5s in a rating take the Navy-wide advancement exam and are eligible to advance. With 25 vacancies at E6 in that rating, quotas would be set to advance the top 25 candidates based on their FMS rank order. 

The actual FMS of the Sailor who was ranked 25th will set the FMS cut score for advancement in that rating and paygrade. Quotas and competition change for each advancement cycle, so it's not possible to predict what the cut score will be for future advancement cycles. However, you can see FMS cut score trends by downloading the Navy's FMS calculator mobile application on your phone or tablet.

      ‘Invisible’–More Women Veterans Are Dying of Suicide and VA Still Lacks Resources, Advocates Say

      When she joined the Navy in 2001, Jennifer Alvarado wanted to excel, to be, in her words, a “stellar sailor.” After boot camp, she worked as a hospital corpsman and pursued extra medical and weapons certification courses to prove her work ethic. Her home life on the military base was a different story: She hid the stress and increasing danger of her relationship with her husband from everyone. One evening in 2005, with her two small boys in the apartment, Alvarado argued with her husband and the altercation turned violent. He beat her, she said in a recent phone interview, and then stormed out and took her car. She called the police on the military base. “My secret was out in the open,” she said. “The shame just came out of my pores.”
