I used Advisor to study for SSgt and made it first time with about 50 hours of study. I scored a 71 on the PDG. This year I used Advisor again but logged around 50 hours using the quizzes and 100+ hours using the printed book from McMillan. I followed the "combat study method". Using the quizzes to check progress and identify areas of weakness was vital to my success. Thanks to McMillan guides, I made TSgt first time with a 92.9 on the PDG and will sew on TSgt with 6 years of time in service. These guides are worth every penny and will pay for themselves in your first paycheck wearing your new rank!

I used PDG Advisor and CDC Advisor along with a lot of prayer and made E-7 first time by 30 points! My board score was average. This is the first time I've scored this well. The products really work as long as you are consistent and put in the time to use all of the features. Most people just use the multiple-choice questions, but I recommend you use all options to make sure you understand what you are reading! Pray, read the material, use PDG Advisor, and repeat!!!!

PDG Advisor and PDG GOLD truly helped me out during this MSgt promotion cycle. I scored an 87 on the PFE, which helped me make MSgt my first time with only 10 years in service.
