We present exact results in softly broken supersymmetric chiral gauge theories with charged fermions in one antisymmetric, fundamental, and antifundamental representations. We achieve this by considering the supersymmetric version of these theories and utilizing anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking at a scale to generate a vacuum. The connection to nonsupersymmetric theories is then conjectured in the limit . For odd , we determine the massless fermions and unbroken global symmetries in the infrared. For even , we find global symmetries are nonanomalous and no massless fermions. In all cases, the symmetry breaking patterns differ from what the tumbling hypothesis would suggest.
