Attention all S1 personnel, who can really explain the promotion points worksheet?

On my PPW, it shows my bachelors (before I joined) and my associate's (obtained in AIT). Both add up to 260 points and maxes out the civilian education section at 160 points. My question is, how do I lose those 100 points. Can they be added to another section? The associate's degree I obtained in AIT, can that be added to the military education section? Looking for answers.

Typically what I'll do is enter a negative value in the last block to bring the points down to the max level allowed for the grade the Soldier is going for. It works just fine.

When I got my masters degree, I got no extra points for promotion because my bachelors degree already maxed that out. Where subsequent degrees help you out is when you're going in front of a DA board for E-7 and above, and they see how you've continued to better yourself.
