Your son is an adult with an NCO support channel. He can figure this out on his own. In fact, part of growing up and being a leader is doing this on his own and not having his mom figure it out for him.

What, get up on the wrong side of the bed? I asked a simple question. People do that when there's a test coming up they like to know what to expect. And get as much info as possible. I wonder if you did that as well the first time you went in front of a board. And as a parent I believe its my job to help when I can no matter what there age. That's not being a umbrella parent. It's being concerned about there future. In the end they will do what they want anyway. But hopefully with more info

His NCO Support Channel should provide him with a study guide for the promotion board. There is not a test. It's a board. Usually all the unit First Sergeants in the BN and the president of the board is the BN CSM.
The study guide usually covers common regulations that have NCO touch points like
AR670-1 and the DA PAM 670-1 because NCOs supervise soldiers , especially with good order in discipline aspects like appearance and uniform standards.
AR350-1 covering PT Tests. There is a TC and an FM on how to conduct and lead PT. AR600-9 and the ABCP.
Duty Rosters, Pass and Leave, etc practical questions on counseling and solving soldier problems. again the BN or BDE level unit establishes this so us gray beards on RP prognosticating on It isn't going to help your son.
Make sure his ASUs are straight.
I've seen units have a field board where the candidates have to demonstrate common tasks that NCOs run or are expected to do (20 level tasks for E5s as an example)
He needs to practice his "board knock" on a senior NCO's door and go find out.
