OK, I am going to try and make this as idiot proof as possible, so if your not an idiot I apologize. Its for the other guy. I have been asked more times than I care to count on how to upload a file here so please read very, very, carefully until you understand.
(This is the Army, there is always that one who can't follow directions no matter how spelled out they are).
1.) Register for an account here at this website. (Yes, its free and No I won't send you spam. I don't even care if you enter a valid E-mail address its only used so you can retrieve your password when you forget it.)
2.) Log-in with the user name and password you used when you registered. (Don't e-mail me asking for your password its encrypted to the point I can't tell you, this protects you and me.)
3.) Visit the forum (Forum/Message Board are the same thing, and yes you are there now reading this message.)
4.) Scroll down until you see the forum you want to post a file in.
5.) Click the button at the top right corner that says "New Topic" (It looks like this:
do not just click the reply button wherever you are, that just adds something totally irrelevant to someone else's post.)
6.) Enter a subject (Preferably the name of the Course your posting)
7.) Enter a message (It can say "Hi Mom" for all we care, it just can't be blank.)
8.) Scroll to the bottom where it says Attach file.
9.) Click Browse
10.) Find the file that is on your computer that you want to upload. (You can only upload one file at a time, but can have an unlimited amount of files per post)
11.) Click Upload (Wait for the page to reload, don't worry your not going to loose anything you typed for the message).
12.) Once the file is uploaded it will have a link to the file in a box just below Attach file called Remove. That means you uploaded the file you see listed to the right of the checkbox. (Do not check the box unless you want to remove the file you just uploaded.)
13.) Click Submit. (Do this after you upload the file, after you are finished writing your message, and before you close the web browser. If you navigate away from the page, you will have to start over.)
14.) Congratulations, you published a file to a forum. (Almost as easy as sending me an e-mail crying about how hard it is.)

The subcourses here are primarily formatted for use with Microsoft Word 2003 or later. This was chosen because a free reader is available on the Microsoft website, and it is on the majority of all military systems. To resolve the problem visit microsoft.com and download the latest version of the "Word Reader" they have available.

Older tests are kept online as an archive. Soldiers who register for a class have one year to complete it. If a new edition comes out in that year the soldier is still required to complete the edition they received when they signed up.
Older editions also have had questions that get recycled into the new edition which can be helpful in trying to complete a newer exam.
Also since these files take up very little space we have no reason to remove them, and overall find its more beneficial in keeping them available.

Your official number of points is calculated manually in the orderly office at your unit once you go to the board. If you take a PT test, get a better score on the range, or attend some training that awards more points some units are high speed enough to automatically update this information for you. Some aren't so its always best to check with them.
If you are curious and simply want to figure your points to satisfy your own curiosity they get a hold of the worksheet (DA Form 3355) that the orderly room uses and you should be able to calculate your points yourself.
You can find more information on the worksheet, as well as how many points are expected for your MOS at this web site:
