Any advice on how to max out promotion points?

For civilian education points....look into CLEP or DANTES tests and your education center. They give you college credits.

In order to get credit for a residence course you must physically go and sit in the class room, hence the name. Rather than find army courses that might count for civilian education, I recommend actually enrolling in college. You are going to need some sort of actual college transcript to get credit for civilian education regardless. Whether or not an online course will count depends upon the college that you choose to attend. Obviously to max weapons you need to score 40/40 and PT you'll need to get a 300. When the time comes for BLC you will need to get Honor grad to earn those 40 points, or commandant's list to earn 20 points. Awards are going to be the hard place to max, you will need to volunteer a lot to earn the MOVSM and start competing in a lot of boards, if you win at high enough levels you can get AAMs or ARCOMs.

still need to get points up? go on skillport and do the Microsoft courses. can also do the DL courses on JKO, had I think 70 points at the beginning of the month and now at 140 or something and still rising. I waited too long to get my correspondence courses done, should've been done by now but hope that helps.
