Anyone have tips on how to study for C/SSgt comprehensive exam?

Memorize key points of the chapters.

If you passed the first three tests, the knowledge should already be there.

Reread the first three chapters and take notes or make flashcards. A lot of cadets like to highlight, but they usually do it wrong (i.e. highlighting entire paragraphs) and don't get anything out of it other than a colorful book.

They way I studied with the L2K books:

Read Chapter
Read/Highlight Keywords
Read Highlights and make notes on the highlights
Read notes/highlights right before meeting.

As soon as I started doing that, I never failed a single test. (They were all closed book as well.)

That would be a prime example of 'doing it right'.

Thanks to everyone for the great tips. I passed my test with a 91

Good job!  Now that you've got some tricks up your sleeve.. the next comprehensive shouldn't be that much of a problem either.. and the next..  Though I do seem to experience that the Wright Brothers test is troublesome for a great many cadets,  I think it's because it's the first comprehensive test they hit, in the CAP curriculum and once they figure it out .. the rest are not so much of a problem.

WIWAC ( ),

The first award test I hit was the Mitchell. 100 questions, 50 AE/50 from the L2K book.

8 minutes and 42 seconds later, I was done and passed.

That same day I had wrapped up my Armstrong achievement, helped a cadet (who joined before me), finally knock out and pass the Wright Brothers, and mentored two Curry takers. Quite a night that was. The last meeting at my first squadron before transferring to PWK.

You took the Mitchell Exam before you had finished the Armstrong Achievement?

I would hope that Armstrong came earlier in the night. I have promoted a cadet and turned around and gave them their next test that night. I made sure eServices took it first though.
