Tear sheets and profile forms from previous examinations do NOT provide reliable information on future examination content, emphasis or structure. To help you study, the Navy publishes a bibliography for your rating. In studying for advancement, you should be sure to study not only the bibliography for the rate you seek, but also for all rates below. 1st Class, you are responsible for the bibliographies for ABE2 and ABE3. Bibliographies for Naval Reservists are the same as those for active-duty personnel.
More lines are to be added in the near future.
Make sure you are studying the most recent bibliography references. The catalog is updated by supplements during the year and is held by your ESO or Administration Office. Check with your supervisor to ensure you have the most recent edition or version. During your study of these references, you will occasionally be referred to portions of other publications for additional information on a subject. These are called within-text references.
