PART ONE

GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR STUDY REFERENCES

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

1. Use of the EPRRC:

a. Part One should be read by all promotion eligible examinees, 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, 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 USAFSE study reference for promotion testing for SSgt through CMSgt; Part Two, section II, lists all SKT tests and study references for promotion testing to SSgt, TSgt, and MSgt.

(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 If these publications are superseded, continue to use the Edition listed in this EPRRC and available at eWORLD.

(3) 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 If these publications are superseded or replaced, use the most current dated publication as the study reference unless the EPRRC indicates otherwise.

NOTE: If an examinee believes a test question is no longer valid due to a reference change / revision, he or she should answer the question to the best of his or her knowledge and then submit an AFPT 230, AFPT Query,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 AFI 36-2605.

c. Part Three is primarily used by TCOs. It provides information on test booklet management, general test administration, and special instructions.

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

a. 19E8 promotion to Senior Master Sergeant (SMSgt); testing window 1 to 14 December 2018

b. 19E7 promotion to Master Sergeant (MSgt); testing window 1 February to 31 March 2019

c. 19E6 promotion to Technical Sergeant (TSgt); testing window 1 February to 31 March 2019

d. 19E5 promotion to Staff Sergeant (SSgt); testing window 1 May to 15 Jun 2019

e. 19E9 promotion to Chief Master Sergeant (CMSgt); testing window 9 to 13 September 2019

3. Study Guidance for Enlisted Promotion Tests:

a. The PFE and USAFSE are based solely on the applicable study guides derived from AFH 1, Airman. Examination content and importance are determined by Attachment 1, Military Knowledge and Testing System (MKTS) Chart of each applicable study guide for promotion. HQ SAS/AAD, DSN 487-1398, is the OPR for the 2017 AFH 1 and the associated study guides.

b. The SKT is designed to sample 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) Unclassified CDCs are made available to eligible Airmen from the Air Force Career Development Academy (AFCDA) through the electronic WAPS Online Reference Library Database (eWORLD) .

(2) Other listed study references should be available in the work area. AFI 36-2605, Air Force Military Personnel Testing System, outlines Airmen's responsibilities.

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 AFI 36-2605 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.

b. Commercial technical reference books should be ordered in accordance with AFI 34-150, Air Force Libraries.

c. Commercial medical reference books are ordered from the medical library using medical treatment facility funds.

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. AFI 36-2605 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:

WAPS CDCs

AFCDA

596-1712
