I would like to ask the Army NCO's if they can give me some suggestions on graduating SLC. What are the challenging areas? What are the easy topics? Also, if I graduate SLC in my MOS and in future I re-class to another MOS, would I need to repeat the SLC for the new MOS?

ANCOC was like a vacation but, I was 11C. You will do some lame PT, eat breakfast, and go to school for about six hours before being released for the day. It’s REAL hard.

I can only speak of the 68 CMF SLC, which took place at Ft Knox. However, if most of the material is the same, I would say that there is no real easy topic. Each topic you will have to study as you do not know what questions nor how many from each topic will be on the tests. The hardest topic for most folks that were in my class was the writing. As such, I HIGHLY encourage you to beef up your Army Writing skills. You will need to write several papers: A Decision Memo, Information Memo and another I can't quite remember. Research AR 20-50. If your spacing is not correct, they will ding you for every incorrect aspect of formatting in your memos. And I mean EVERY aspect of formatting.

As for the tests, you will need to study. If they do the same to you as they did me, you will be tested in Blackboard. You will have Multiple Choice and Essay for each test. The Essay is in Army Writing Style. The Multiple Choice section is worth 85 points total and the Essay is worth 15 points. There are three tests total (if memory serves). And remember, your GPA at SLC Resident is combined with your SLC DL phase. If you walked into your Resident Phase with less than an 80% GPA, you will need to study your butt off as you will need an 80% GPA (total) to graduate from Resident.
