Leadership 2000 Volume 1 Review Quizzes

CadetStuff

mitchell_award.gifIt happens every week! The Testing Officer or Deputy Commander for Cadets or Cadet Commander says, "Who's ready to test?" and every single Cadet raises their paw whether they've cracked the book in the last six minutes or in the last six months. Well, CadetStuff says, "No more!"

Work your little brains and little fingers over these review tests - with questions based directly on the chapters in the manuals - and when you've passed these, you are ready to test. And, if you're reviewing for Mitchell or Spaatz, take'em all! How else are you going to know, eh?

So quit gawking and start clicking!

A Note on Our Quiz Methodology


CadetStuff.org recently received the following letter from a reader. Since his letter wasn't the first time we've had people ask about why the tests don't tell you what question you got wrong, we thought we'd use this as an opportunity to explain what's what.

First, the letter:

I am C/ Amn 1st Class Kaleb Masters from the Dothan Composite Squadron in south east Alabama. I really appreciate what you are doing for all the cadets around the world, really, with the leadership test being on-line.

They have really helped me out a lot so far, but I found just one problem with them. Recently I was taking the leadership three test and I have found out that when you check your test and you get an answer wrong, it just tells you the subject that the question had to do with. I think the test would be a lot more user-friendly if it also told you what question you got wrong, so you could go back and correct it.

Thanks for your time, and I appreciate the help you are giving everyone.

To which CadetStuff.org replied:

Cadet Masters,

Thanks for the feedback. The tests were made so that they'd only tell you the subject on purpose.

Here's why: CadetStuff.org has no way of knowing what the exact questions are on the test. The goal of the review quizzes is to try to point out areas of the chapter that you need to review before taking the test. So, they only tell you the subject you missed to get you to study the material and not study the question.

Here's a made-up example:

The first national commander of CAP was:

  1. Billy Mitchell

  2. Carl Spaatz

  3. Earl Johnson

  4. John Curry

Now, if you answer anything but '4', you're wrong. But if the review quiz told you that you missed the question about who the first national commander was, you'd flip through your manual and find the right answer.

But, if the question on the actual test from that section of the manual was:

Gil Robb Wilson was:

  1. The first national commander of CAP
  2. One of the founders of CAP
  3. A member of the CAP Coastal Patrol
  4. The mayor of New York City

You've now memorized a fact that you didn't need to know and missed something you did need to know. So, that's why we just say that you missed a question in the section on "History of CAP": to force you to read the entire section and hopefully get the information you actually need.

I hope this answers your concerns,
