typically, for four awards you would need three oak clusters. the ribbon counts as one. However, for the good conduct medal, you would wear a knot for each award. It varies dependant upon the actual award, but for AAM's, Arcoms, etc the ribbon always counts as the first award.
In military awards, each oak leaf cluster typically represents an additional award of the same medal. Therefore, to denote 6 awards, you would use 5 oak leaf clusters, as the first award is represented by the medal itself and the subsequent awards are indicated by the clusters.

500 and 55 thousand To correct the above post, 4 bronze oak leaf clusters indicates 5 total awards of a single medal (the initial award +1 OLC for each additional award). Starting with the 6th award, a silver oak leaf cluster is worn instead (silver OLC indicating 5 previous awards). The 7th will add another bronze OLC, and so forth. Caveat, this is for the Army. The Naval services use stars instead of OLCs to indicate previous awards.

you will wear the AAM ribbon with 4 bronze oak leaf clusters. The ribbon counts as 1 itself so when you wear 4 bronze clusters on it your wearing 5. then once you get 6 AAM's youll just have one silver since the ribbon counts as one so 5+1=6.
One would wear a single Silver Oak Leaf Cluster. The Silver Oak Leaf Cluster signifies that the Army Achievement Medal has been awarded 5 subsequent times and the Ribbon itself signifies the first one awarded. For every AAM awarded after this, one would wear a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster (signifying one awarded AAM) until one reaches 11 total awards. At this point, one would wear a second Silver Oak Leaf Cluster.
