## What is PROmote?

BEFORE YOU BUY ANOTHER BOARD STUDY APP ASK YOURSELF:

1. Does it offer over 3,700 questions across 48 subjects customizable for your board?  Our app contains thousands more than some other apps.  You don't have to study all 3,700+ questions but they are there for you if you want.  
2. CAN YOU GRADE YOURSELF?  Seriously!  Many board apps don't even allow you to grade yourself.  You can't look at your test scores for each subject because they don't even keep score.
3. Does it have an advanced learn engine that tracks questions seen/unseen, answered correctly/incorrectly, and then dynamically creates your tests accordingly?
4. Does it provide BOTH a casual study mode AND a test mode?
5. Does it provide AUDIO?
6. Are you able to SEE your study and test PROGRESS for ALL lessons at a MERE GLANCE?
8. Can you customize your tests with adjustable question counts and subjects?

This is a comprehensive guide addressing the common Army promotion board topics - over 40 subjects. Information was taken directly from Army regulations, Army doctrine reference publications (ADRPs), Army doctrine publications (ADPs), field manuals, technical manuals, training circulars, and pamphlets. All the study material is in question/ answer/ flashcard format. Hyperlinks are used in the larger sections to help better facilitate the blocks of information. In addition, to help support some of the question/answers, notes are provided throughout along with Helpful Hints to aid in memory recall.

### 4/5 — Aft

*2025-12-06, version 6.0.3*

Can we please get the acft updated to the current aft

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2025-10-10, version 6.0.3*

Appearance and grooming needs to be updated

### 5/5 — Accurate and up to date (mostly)

*2025-04-01*

I was worried about the info being outdated or losing support when purchasing, but as of writing this it seems to get updated relatively quick pertaining to what the army publishes/updates. Thank you to the publisher for the app support and updates

### 5/5 — Works great and seems to be updated!

*2024-11-17, version 4.29*

Easy pop up standard reference when you need it for admin or studying! 

Is there any way to add drivers training AR600-55 to this? Or Driver training tool box?

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2024-06-25, version 4.28*

To whomever made this app. Good job this is exactly what I was looking for, I appreciate the content and the flow of  the lessons.

### 5/5 — Ncoers

*2024-05-12, version 4.28*

Is the regulation AR 623-3 the most up to date?

### 4/5 — Overall Great App

*2024-02-28*

Overall this app is amazing. I’ve been using it to study for my E-5 board and it quite literally covers everything. Honestly so far the only two recommendations I’ve got for this app so far is an update on the regulations (I’ve noticed a few are outdated exp: AR 670-1) and secondly being able to create a personalized flash card stack with regulations that would be applicable to the individual studying. For example there’s only “tidbits” from each section I’ve needed, so it would be nice to pick those out of the study sections for a personalized flash card test. Other that than, having situational questions would drive this app home. Once again for the $5 and change, amazing app. Personally I’d say it’s worth the investment to study for the board (E-4 to E-5 & E-5 to E-6).

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2023-06-12, version 4.24*

It’s not updated at all for example it lists the M9 pistol instead of M17

### 1/5 — Out of Reg

*2022-10-23, version 4.22*

This app is out of reg. That app logo is not in the correct uniform. OCPs are the uniform. You might also wanna make that logo less binary to be more inclusive to those who are strong in the feelings and what not.

### 4/5 — When will M17 be put in?

*2022-03-02, version 4.20*

Nice way to study, but I have yet to see a topic showing the new pistol for the Army.
