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. ForceReadiness.com is not affiliated with the US Army. We simply support soldiers every way we can.

Soldier Pro is a totally free board study guide tool. After publishing more than 50 army apps across 15 years we are putting one out just for board prep and making it totally free (no subscriptions, no ads, no accounts, no tips, no data collection). Most everything in the app has share buttons so you can export the content to text and email. The real twist here is this isn't just an app full of flash cards to help you memorize Army trivia. We got tools to actually prep for the board. Here is the list: Trivia Drills: This is broke into 3 sections: - Flash Cards: Flash cards segregated by category. Standard features of forward, back, flip, random, and favorite. - Question List: See full questions and tap the question to reveal the answer, this is faster than Flash Cards. - Cheat Sheets: Full list of questions and answers exportable to PDF. About You: Every board usually has a 'tell us about yourself', the app has a place to type out your thoughts to make this nice and polished. Scenario Questions: Besides trivia (what reg covers...) we've got some generic scenario questions used by previous boards to assess your leadership approach and decision making process. Which Reg: Standard flash cards that goes over what's in the popular regulations Chain of Command: Never get caught on a board not knowing who is in your Chain of Command and NCO Support channel. This tool lets you build your own for quick reference and memorization. Creeds: NCO Creed and Soldiers Creed, but with a twist. We actually have a setting to take out random words in the creed to help you memorize them; and 7 quick tips on how to memorize these easier. Study Journal: Free text journal entries to make notes and share as needed. Custom Flash Cards: Create your own and study.

Verdict

The call
