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.
