Cadet Tests & Exams

Online Test Troubleshooting 

Q:  I'm locked out from testing. Now what?
A:  Cadets must wait 7 days to reattempt a test they've failed. Re-read the textbook and pay attention to the learning objectives listed throughout the chapter because that's where the test questions come from.

Q:  My school grants me special accommodations when I take test. Could CAP do the same? 
A:  Talk with a senior member in your squadron. CAP will make reasonable accommodations. For further information, see our Cadets With Special Needs home page. 

 

 

 

 

 

Academic Learning

CAP assesses cadets’ academic learning in leadership and aerospace via written tests in multiple-choice format and/or via web-based learning activities in Cadet Interactive. Cadets choose a test or Cadet Interactive module at their option, and they may mix-and-match written tests and Cadet Interactive modules as desired.

Achievement Tests

Venue:  Online, at time and place of the cadet's choosing.

Milestone Award Exams 

Wright Brothers, Mitchell, & Earhart 
As a safety valve protecting the integrity of cadet awards, milestone award exams will remain closed-book and controlled by the squadron.  Units may use paper-based or online versions of these exams. Senior members must be assigned as a testing officer (primary or assistant) to administer an online milestone.

Cadets Having Special Needs & Learning Disabilities

CAP supports requests for reasonable accommodations when cadets who have special needs attempt cadet tests and exams. (Ref: CAPR 60-1, 5.4.1.5). Examples of accommodations include testing orally, extending time limits, dividing the test into segments, and reducing the choices on a multiple-choice test. 

"How to" Information

If the unit commander grants an accommodation request, the testing officer will need to download a PDF version of the test and answer key and administer the test in that PDF format. eServices > Online Learning > Cadet Online Testing > Download Quiz

Unfortunately, the online learning management system is incapable of adjusting time limits or otherwise departing from standard protocols.
