In general, SKT results are used in which way across AFSCs?

• A. It is used for all career fields equally.
• B. It is not used in any field.
• C. It is used only for non-specialized AFSCs.
• D. Generally, SKT applies to specialized AFSCs; some career fields may not use SKT.

Answer: (D)

SKT, or Skill Knowledge Test, is used to measure the technical knowledge required for a specific job specialty. In the Air Force, not every AFSC uses SKT. Fields with specialized, highly technical requirements tend to include SKT results as part of the promotion process, while some career fields may rely on other evaluation factors and don’t use SKT at all. So, in general, SKT applies to specialized AFSCs, though some career fields may not use it.
