Which statement best describes how SKT and EPR relate to promotions?

• A. SKT is unrelated to the promotion process.
• B. EPR is the sole determinant of WAPS promotions.
• C. SKT measures on-the-job flexibility only.
• D. SKT contributes to the composite WAPS score along with EPR, where SKT measures knowledge and EPR performance.

Answer: (D)

In WAPS promotions, your final score is a composite that blends different factors to judge overall readiness. The SKT is the knowledge portion, testing understanding of your AFSC’s core concepts and tasks. The EPR is the performance report, reflecting how you actually performed, led, and contributed in your duties over the rating period. Both of these feed into the overall WAPS score, rather than one factor alone determining promotion. That’s why the statement that best describes their relationship is that SKT contributes to the composite WAPS score along with EPR, where SKT measures knowledge and EPR performance.
