1-6. Test Administration.

Tests will be administered under favorable environmental conditions including lighting, temperature, noise, and workspace. Commanders ensure that tests are administered only by the TCO or alternate(s) and that precautions are taken to prevent test compromise. Tests to be taken by the unit TCO or alternate(s), may be administered by the unit commander. Under no circumstances will controlled or closed book tests be released to the examinee for unsupervised completion. To do so is a test compromise. If more than 15 students are testing at one time, the TCO should appoint a test proctor to monitor students during the testing period. There should be one TCO or proctor available for each 15 students testing. TCOs take the following specific actions pertaining to CAP tests:

a. Closed-Book Tests:

1. Ensure the examinee is on the Unit Membership List and has a current ID card.
2. Note control numbers on test booklets furnished examinees and ensure all tests are returned at the end of the test session.
3. Do not allow examinees to write on CAP test booklets.
4. Give complete instructions on how identification data and answers will be recorded on the test answer sheets.
5. Remain in the test room until all examinees have completed the test.
6. For tests that require cadets to perform drill movements, the TCO and commander can allow “experts” to assist them in administering the performance portions only.
7. Score and sign each answer sheet as required.
8. Destroy working papers, notes, etc., when the examination has been completed.
9. Inspect test booklets before returning them to storage and remove all unauthorized marks. If marks cannot be re-moved, and they could assist or mislead other examinees, destroy the test booklet.

b. Open-Book Tests. Procedures for open-book tests are the same as for closed-book tests, except the examinee is permitted to research answers from textbooks, notes, or other training materials.

 

c. Cadet AE Tests. First must be taken “closed book,” but after passing the test, the cadet has to go back and correct it to 100%; examinee is permitted to use textbooks, notes, or other training materials.

1-7. Test Scores.

Locally-Scored. Examinees are notified of their score and whether they passed as soon as practical after the examination. Entries documenting completion of cadet test requirements will be entered on the front of CAPF 66, Cadet Master Record. Successful test completion for seniors will be entered on CAPF 45, Senior Member Master Record, or CAPF 45b, Senior Member Professional Development Record, as appropriate.
