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!

This PDG program is great! The games really do help you remember, as well as get your competitive side going! Awesome!

Studied PDG GOLD & Master Your CDC ... day in and day out for about 7 months ... even as the earthquake took our power out. Tested out-of-cycle in June and was notified of my selection to MSgt this week. Blew away the cut-off score by almost 43 points. Thanks, McMillan!!
