When will the website be updated for the 2025 Testing Cycle?
3 Jan 25. Work is in progress to update the site. It should be completed by the middle of January. So far, the first nine testable chapters have been completed:
Chapter 5, Military Organization and Command
Chapter 7, Enlisted Force Development
Chapter 8, Assessments and Recognition
Chapter 9, Enlisted Promotions
Chapter 13, Developing Organizations
When all the testable chapters have been completed, the site's front page and references will be updated. And the 2024 content will remain available for out-of-cycle testers.
Announcement
6 Dec 24. The new Air Force Handbook, dated 1 Nov 2024, has been posted on the official website. We are in the process of updating the site and will keep you informed on our progress.
When will the website be updated for the 2025 E-6 Testing Cycle?
As of 3 December 2024, only the 2021 edition of the Air Force Handbook is available on the official website. According to that site, study guides for E-5 and E-6 will not be produced this cycle and the new edition of the Air Force Handbook will be the source to study. The official site says the 2024 edition will be out in December. When it's released, it will take anywhere from 30 to 90 days to update this site, depending on how extensive the changes are.
Are the 100-question practice tests under the Practice Test tab revised periodically or are they always the same?
The 100-question practice tests are dynamic and present a different test every time a test is started. The pool of 3,000 - 5,000 questions from which the questions are selected is updated periodically as needed.
Why am I unable to select or copy text in the section quizzes?
The inability to copy text is not intentional. Try using Compatibility View or selecting No Style (View, Style, No Style) in the browser tool bar.
What exactly is free on this site?
Access to all the section and all the chapter tests is free for 30 days. However, the 100-question practice test area is not available to trial account (free) users. This area is reserved for our members.
If I register for a trial account, do I need to cancel to avoid being enrolled in a paid account?
No, no action is required. Users are not automatically enrolled in a paid account when their trial account expires. Note that credit card information is not required for the free 30-day trial.
I paid for a membership last year but forgot my password and am unable to log in. What do I do?
Click on Login and then on Forgot Password and enter your e-mail address or user name. Or send an e-mail to admin@freepdg.com requesting a password change.
How can I change my password?
To change your password, use this link: http://freepdg.com/pdg-members/profile and log in.
The site asks for credit card information. Is the information protected?
Yes. The payment page, where credit card information is entered, is protected. The lock icon in the browser's address bar indicates the page is secure. Note that IE browsers on base may indicate an error due to their restrictive configuration.
If I buy a 2 year membership now and the AF decides to update the PDG to the next version in October will I have to pay for another membership? Or will that be included in this one?
The membership will end 2 years from the time of sign up. If the PDG is revised during that time, you will continue to have access to the current version (which will be kept around a while for out-of-cycle testers) and will also have access to the new edition until whenever 2 years runs out.
Are memberships automatically renewed after 2 years?
No. This site does not store credit card information. If you want to continue using the site after your membership expires, you'll have to manually renew your membership when it expires.
Is the site compatible with Kindle Fire/Android/Samsung smart phones and tablets?
Yes. If you want to test, sign up for a trial membership first.
Does using this site constitute a test compromise? Have any official agencies contacted you concerning test compromise?
No. Using this site is not a test compromise. It cannot be a test compromise because I don't know what will be on the test. I have not been contacted by any official concerning this site.
I registered for a free trial membership. Why am I unable to access the practice test tab?
With a 30-day trial membership you can access all the individual section and chapter tests but the practice test area is reserved for our members.
