PART ONE

GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR STUDY REFERENCES

NOTICE: THIS EPRRC IS ONLY FOR PROMOTION ELIGIBLE PERSONNEL TESTING TO THE GRADE OF SSGT.

This EPRRC identifies the available enlisted promotion tests and associated study references for Airmen preparing for promotion to the grade of SSgt and provides TCOs guidance to administer promotion tests.

1. Use of the EPRRC:

a. Part One should be read by all promotion-eligible examinees testing for promotion to the grade of SSgt, WAPS monitors, and TCOs. It provides general information that may be of use when Airmen are planning for promotion testing.

b. Part Two should be read by all promotion-eligible examinees testing to the grade of SSgt, WAPS monitors, and TCOs. It provides a list of each enlisted promotion test developed and the materials used to develop the test.

(1) The study references are listed in numerical sequence by Air Force Personnel Test (AFPT) number for each SKT. Each set of study references is listed for each AFPT. Part Two, section I, lists the PFE and study reference for promotion testing for SSgt; Part Two, section II, lists all SKT tests and study references for promotion testing to SSgt.

(2) CDC study references are listed by volume with edit codes. If these publications are superseded, continue to use the edition listed in this EPRRC and available at eWORLD. For all other study references consider amendments, revisions, and changes a part of the basic reference. If these publications are superseded or replaced, use the most current dated publication as the study reference unless the EPRRC indicates otherwise. Additionally, eWORLD will contain non-CDC references for certain career fields as identified in the reference listing. For non-CDC references on e-WORLD, contact AETC Studies and Analysis Squadron/Airman Advancement at afoms.tea@us.af.mil for access or content issues.

(3) For some non-CDC study references, you will need to complete the following steps to ensure you are able to use the links listed in this catalog. First, after you open the 2022 EPRRC you will need to click on the "Options" tab at the top right and select "Trust this host one time only or Trust this host always." Once this step is completed, all of your hyperlinks and links to your study material should open.

NOTE: If an examinee believes a test question is no longer valid due to a reference change / revision, he or she should answer the question to the best of his or her knowledge and then submit an AFPT 230, AFPT Query, immediately upon completion of testing through the TCO. Query instructions are printed on the form and discussed in AFMAN 36-2664, Personnel Assessment Program, dated 16 May 2019.

a. Part Three is primarily used by TCOs. It provides information on test booklet management, general test administration, and special instructions. Return to table of content

2. Testing cycles included in this EPRRC: This edition lists study references for the following promotion cycle and test administration period:

22E5 promotion to Staff Sergeant (SSgt); testing window 1 May to 30 Jun 2022.

3. Study Guidance for Enlisted Promotion Tests:

a. The PFE is based on the applicable study guides derived from Air Force Handbook 1, Airman. The examination content and importance are determined by Attachment 1, Airman Development and Testing Chart (ADTC) of each applicable study guide for promotion. AETC SAS/AA is the OPR for the 2021 AFH 1 and associated study guides. A specific study reference does not exist for the situational judgment test (SJT) questions as answers to the questions depend on an individual's judgment across a wide range of realistic situations. However, Airmen should familiarize themselves with the Air Force foundational competencies by studying relevant sections of the promotion study guide. Airmen should also familiarize themselves with the Airman Leadership Qualities by referencing the AF Form 724-A, Airman Comprehensive Assessment Addendum, Knowledge of the Foundational Competencies, Airman Leadership Qualities, and associated behaviors will provide Airmen with a general framework to consider when responding to SJT questions. If you have any questions concerning the AFH 1 or study guide, please e-mail us at afh@us.af.mil.

b. The SKT measures an Airman's knowledge of his or her entire Air Force specialty and not a specific job. The SKTs sample career field-wide knowledge areas most appropriate for promotion. Questions are drawn from the references listed in this catalog.

(1) CDCs from the Air Force Career Development Academy (AFCDA) and some unique non-CDC references are available to eligible Airmen through the electronic WAPS Online Reference Library Database (eWORLD) ::::::.

(2) Other listed study references should be available in the work area. AFMAN 36-2664, outlines Airmen's responsibilities.

(3) Joint Pubs (JPs) and DoD manuals and instructions can be found at .

(4) Due to naming convention changes for AFIs and AFMANs, some references are listed as DAFI, DAFMAN, AFI, or AFMAN. In many cases, ePUBS is still using the older naming convention. Airmen should search for the AFI or AFMAN first, and then the DAFI or DAFMAN.

c. Reference libraries must be established for non-CDC study materials at base, unit, or functional level. The unit WAPS monitor must ensure these materials, which may consist of AFIs, AFMANs, TOs (not available online), or commercial publications, are available on a 2:7 ratio. Airmen may ask their unit WAPS monitor to order any study reference that is not available locally or electronically. Unit WAPS monitors only need to establish these libraries if there is a requirement to maintain them based on the eligible population within their unit needing or utilizing non-CDC references.

4. Procurement of Non-Air Force Documents for Study in Preparation for SKT Testing:

a. The STS, found in the Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP), provides the procurement source for non-Air Force publications. Refer to AFMAN 36-2664 for steps to take if study reference material cannot be obtained to support preparation for testing. Airmen are responsible for obtaining these references by contacting their unit WAPS monitor.

6

b. The ordering of commercial technical reference books should be in accordance with AFI 34-101, Air Force Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) Programs and Use Eligibility, Chapter 16, paragraph 16.21.

c. Commercial medical reference books should be purchased with medical treatment facility funds for a medical library.

5. Test Compromise: Any unauthorized discussion, disclosure, or possession of Controlled Test Material (CTM) information is a compromise of test material and a violation of directives and is punishable under Article 92, Uniform Code of Military Justice. AFMAN 36-2664 further discusses compromise of test material.

6. POCs: If an Airman cannot first resolve a question and / or concern through their unit or base WAPS monitor, the Airman may then contact one of the following POCs:
