Mitchell Award Exam Help

[mcdoubleup]

I am a C/CMsgt, and I am taking my Mitchell award exam soon. Unfortunately I need do not feel like I understand the information. Are there study sites, practice tests, etc. to enhance my understanding of the information?
Thank you.

The only thing I can say is to read the material.  I tell my airmen that all the time when they go to test for SSgt.  Make up some flash cards with your weak areas and have someone quiz you.  The items you mentioned should be used as an aid to studying but should never replace the material in your books.

Teach a class over the materials you are shaky on, to the lower ranking cadets.
To the level that they can pass their tests over that material

You learn the material a lot better,
and they do better on their tests coming up behind you

Might take some time to get it all in

On the AE tests make sure you know the keywords and definitions. If it's emphasized in the text somehow, you should know it. Know the answers to the practice questions at the end of the sections.

There isn't an AE section on the mitchell.

Two wrong in one day, sir! You're slipping...

Bzzzt! Wrong Answer. The Mitchell has a Leadership AND an AE test.

Here's the study technique I've used the past year or so, to great effect: Read a small section of the text once or twice. Then try to verbally explain to yourself the central idea(s) of the section. Or, if you need to, try explaining the text to an imaginary class of cadets. Repeat until you can explain the idea without looking back over the material. Then move on to the next section.

This technique works especially well with the Learn to Lead textbooks, which are broken into small chunks, with each chunk having a few objectives. Use the technique above to explain/accomplish the objectives listed.

This may sound a bit unusual, but it utilizes the principle that you learn best what you (pretend to) teach, and it works. I used this technique to study for my Mitchell exam, and I got 94% on leadership and 96% on AE.

Excellent.

If you can explain the objectives in your own words, you have a good basis of knowledge to pass the test.
