The Free PDG Project is a collection of PDG review exercises that provides a section by section review of AFPAM 36-2241, Professional Development Guide. Already adopted by many Air Force members, the Free PDG Project is a free and powerful alternative to overpriced commercial products like those sold by McMillan and HDEL.
All the questions on this site come from the current PDG and, as often as possible, are taken word for word from the text in order to preserve their meaning and aid in recognition.
I urge all Airmen to use this site only as a supplemental tool and to use their PDG as the final reference. My intent in developing these reviews was to reduce the chapters to a manageable number of questions which covered the key points rather than generate huge numbers of redundant questions. That involved some judgment on my part and because of that I may not have captured every question that will be on the test. Promotions are important and I don't want to be responsible for anyone missing their chance.
Good luck!

This year's approach to studying is different than last year. Last year I tended to include all the questions in a chapter in one big test. Although that was helpful, it wasn't a very orderly method of covering the material. This year, for the 2011-2013 PDG edition, I am breaking the chapters down into sections (as divided in the PDG) so that readers can attack one section at a time, absorb it, and then move on to the next section. And then, after completing the individual section tests, there is a chapter test that covers the entire chapter.
I think this makes studying more orderly, ensures every fact is addressed, and helps questions be understood in a narrower context. It also makes it easier for someone who only has a few minutes at a time to study. They can choose the topics that they have time for rather than face constant interruptions.
In addition, the list of questions that each test was derived from was added to each section so that readers who want to check a question's answer will have the answer's paragraph number to refer to.
