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, 5.4.1.3). 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 > Admin
Unfortunately, the online learning management system is incapable of adjusting time limits or otherwise departing from standard protocols.
Testing officers correct the test manually and enter the cadet's score in eServices > Cadet Programs > Cadet Promotions Application.
