Naval Academy Reef Points Practice Test

In the Navy, enlisted ranks map directly to pay grades, which is what this question is testing. Petty Officer First Class is assigned the pay grade E-6, meaning it sits above Petty Officer Second Class (E-5) and below Chief Petty Officer (E-7). This rank is a non-commissioned officer level and typically involves some leadership responsibilities and acting as a team leader within a division. So the correct mapping is E-6. The other ranks referenced correspond to different pay grades: Petty Officer Second Class is E-5, Petty Officer Third Class is E-4, and Chief Petty Officer is E-7.
