The Board Master - Army Promotion Board Study Guide

The new point system was designed to affect Soldiers’ behavior, shifting the point weighing to the areas of most importance for that grade.  Example: the Army desires a SPC to focus on mastering basic Soldier Skills i.e., Weapons Qualification and APFT first and then shift more time and attention to military education and civilian education after they attain the rank of SGT.  SPC to SGT points focus on Soldiering skills and SGT to SSG shift their focus on basic leadership.
