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 highly recommend Advisor to everyone who is testing for promotion. This was my first time testing for Staff and I scored an 85 on my PDG and a 68 on my SKT. I was the #1 selectee in my career field, and I couldn't have done it without Advisor! Like everything else in life you get what you put in, so if you take the time to use Advisor to its full potential you will see the results!

I was going to deploy and test for SSgt out of cycle; however, it fell through and I had a week and a half to study for SSgt. I bought PDG GOLD and studied that alone for a week and a half and made SSgt my first time, ranking 17 out of 300-something selectees.
