I think this does not work, when you are conducting a PRT and having an evaluation at the same time.

Download the Army PRT app. It has all the schedules built in with instructions and videos right from FM 7-22. I had a 20 year break in service and found PRT was completely different from the 90’s. The app helped me get up to speed quickly. Good luck!

You are not alone SSG(P) (Join to see) I learn best by doing and repeating it over and over again. There are numerous videos on YouTube that provide step-by-step how to do each exercise. It's definitely a lot to take in and retain.

What works best is repetition do the work out as you are memorizing them. Their is no real trick or shirt cut. You have to get straight to it.

I'm assuming you mean your BLC PRT evaluation? Honestly if you don't already have it memorized your unit probably doesn't even do PRT. At the same time, you should have studied it prior to going to the school. It really ain't that hard.

Are you trying to memorize the entirety of FM 7-22 (Army PRT) or just specific drills/exercises within it?

Your question is very broad and indicates you should probably read the entire manual (it is actually extremely informative and detailed) so that you can understand that PRT is an all-encompassing fitness system, not just a specific set of exercises. Most people tend to think the Preparatory Drills and Recovery Drills "are PRT;" they are just one small part.

If you are just trying to learn the order of how to perform a specific sequence of drills, the official Army PRT app on Android/iPhone is a great tool. If you want to learn how to actually instruct the proper form for each movement, there is some on the App as well, but much more detail in FM 7-22.

Remember, repetition is key!
