Cadet Testing

Cadet testing serves as a vital element in the training and development of cadets within the Civil Air Patrol, evaluating their knowledge and proficiency in key areas such as leadership, aerospace, drill, and public speaking. Through these assessments, cadet progress is monitored, strengths and weaknesses are pinpointed, and avenues for growth and enhancement are identified. Taking testing seriously is imperative for cadets as it not only showcases their dedication to their training but also aids them in acquiring essential skills and knowledge crucial for success within the Civil Air Patrol and in their future pursuits.

Cadets are encouraged to prioritize testing at home when possible. Should extenuating circumstances arise or accommodations be necessary, the squadron is committed to supporting cadets in successfully completing their tests. For cadets with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), the squadron strives to provide reasonable accommodations to facilitate their success. Testing at home should adhere to the guidelines outlined by the Civil Air Patrol for online or alternative test formats.

By proactively scheduling tests, maintaining open communication with superiors, and seeking necessary accommodations when warranted, cadets can navigate the testing process effectively, ensuring a productive and successful experience that supports their ongoing progress and development within the Civil Air Patrol.
