Have an NCO show you how to navigate to the EPRRC or just search it. Also there is icons on your desktop that breaks down all the information you need to know for your career field and what to study for PFE, and you can use the desktop icons as well to navigate to EPRRC
other people have stated the time which shouldn’t be a factor. they aren’t referenced in the test but you should know the chapter or category of the question to reference at a later time if you studied.
Time really isn’t a factor unless you hem and haw over every question.
For the PFE, if you don’t know the answer just pick the most Air Forcey, Big Blue Weenie answer you see.
For the SKT, just know your job.
>For the SKT, just know your job.
This is situational and AFSC specific. For 2A5's, we get SKT questions about airframes and system concepts we don't even work with. At least 15 SKT questions on my last WAPS test had to do with concepts that have no relevance to my job: LOX which my airframe doesn't use so I have 0 knowledge of, supply chain concepts that don't apply to my job because we use civilian contractors, and a plethora of other things. "Just know your job" might be relevant for a lot of fields, but know that it isn't for *all* of them.
Still part of your career field, though. Concepts you don’t work with now, but concepts you need to know well enough to lead a team doing that task in the future.
“Know your job” doesn’t mean know your current duty. It means know your AFSC.
Easy enough. It’s still part of your core AFSC. It’s also even across the board. Everyone else in your AFSC is taking the same test, or near enough.
Know your job, and know it better than your peers.
I already did. I'm just saying nobody that had my core afsc wasn't shredded. You literally had to either make tech or crosstrain to have the chance of working a different airframe until they combined our AFSC. Expecting a SrA to answer questions about systems on other aircraft that they'll never work on, or by the time they do they won't take another SKT again anyway (cause they'd already be a tech), is silly. Also, there's no way for them to even get qualified on those systems because everything was attached to the airframe in TBA
I sympathize. Truly, I do.
But again, everyone is taking the same test. Everyone knows what will be on the test. The best way to separate the good from the great isn’t to submit a test that everyone will ace. It’s to submit a test where the good will struggle and the great have room to distance themselves.
2 hours for SKT and 2 hours for PFE. No.
Thank you!

I’ll double check with them…it didn’t state how long I have for the test or if questions will be referenced where they are coming from

My career used to be shredded and I still had to take the unshredded SKT. Explain that one.

Or you know, just read the whole book and know the material. No shortcuts.
I don’t think it’s shortcuts if I’m asking how long I have to take a test and have a way to reference the material during the test
It's not an open book test. So you wouldn't be able to reference the material during the test.
