Every time there is a change to the occupational standards (OCCSTDs, our writers update the study guides. For some ratings (ie, PN, DK), this may happen yearly. For others (SM, BM), this may be less frequently. Several ratings have gone five years with no changes to the OCCSTDs. Minor changes to our study guides are made as supplements. Major changes may require a complete revision to the study guides.

First, our writers are the secret to our success. We "hire" writers who are subject matter experts to author all of our material. Most of our writers are enlisted personnel on active duty in the Navy. We have one writer who is retired (and keeps in close contact with his subject area) and several writers on active duty who are LDOs. They know the job and are able to construct questions and answers they believe the test takers should know to help get a good exam score. See similar questions...
