Any American between 18 and 41 can now enlist in the Navy, as long as they score at least a 50 on the Armed Forces Qualification Test and meet other requirements outside of education, according to the Navy’s policy released.

50? 50 out of 100? Is this from the Bee...

I don’t know if it has changed, but 50 meant percentile of test takers.
As in a 63 on the test put you in the top 37% of test takers.
A 100 is impossible, as being in the top 0% is mathematical nonsense.

A score of 50 on the ASVAB is pretty high by historical standards. The minimum score acceptable for some branches is 31 with a HS diploma, 50 with a GED.

The USAF and USCG require the highest scores for enlistment. In theory it is 35 but the recruiter won't talk to you unless you score a 50 or better.
