how to study

Advancements is an important part of NJROTC (and your grade just might depend on it). Don’t be that cadet who shows up to the exam without even having looked at they content covered on the exam. Get an early start by studying your knowledge. If you keep up with the announcements on Facebook you should have one to two weeks to check the content covered on your exam and properly study for it. If a cadet can find as little as five minutes everyday to really study their knowledge, they should be well prepared on exam day.

Advancement exams have two portions: knowledge and drill. If a cadet studies well and passes the knowledge test, they then need to take a drill before they can be advanced to the next rank. Make sure to check what type of drill you need to know for the rank you wish to attain. If you don’t know that specific type of drill or are unsure of what you know, your NS4s should be more than happy to give you some pointers if you ask nicely enough.
