• A. The PFE is a general knowledge test used in WAPS and contains 100 questions.
• B. The PFE is a specialty knowledge test focused on your AFSC and contains 100 questions.
• C. The PFE is a physical fitness assessment and contains 100 questions.
• D. The PFE is a general knowledge test used in WAPS and contains 150 questions.

Answer: (A)

The Promotion Fitness Examination is a general knowledge assessment used in the WAPS system. It isn’t focused on a specific Air Force Specialty or on physical fitness; instead, it tests broad Air Force knowledge relevant to all airmen. The exam contains 100 questions, making it a straightforward measure of overall knowledge across topics common to all service members. This is why it’s the correct description: it’s a general knowledge test, and the number of questions is 100. The other options mischaracterize the test (as specialty knowledge or a physical fitness assessment) or state an incorrect number of questions.
