The 2017-2019 Professional Development Guide (PDG) is used to determine if Airmen should be promoted to higher ranks. Candidates should reference the Military Knowledge and Testing System (MKTS) Chart in the Professional Development Guide to see what you need to study for each specific test: SSgt, TSgt, MSgt, SMSgt, CMSgt.

Pocket Prep’s PDG practice test app is a powerful exam simulator that allows you to create customized practice tests with detailed answer explanations for every question. View your results and exam history with just a few taps. Study anywhere at any time without Internet connectivity.

The app utilizes the “spacing effect” to enhance your learning capability. You’ll space out your studying into shorter, more productive study sessions which allow your brain to retain more information. Simply tell the app how many questions you want to take, enable the timer, and filter exam content to create the perfect study experience.
