I would like to know what sections of the Aerospace: The Journey of Flight Book i need to study for my achievement 9 test. I have looked at the Cadet Super Chart and it only says " 3 Chapter Block". Would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I over heard someone say something about it skipping all over from achievement to achievement.

c. Aerospace Education. In Phase III, the primary goals of aerospace education are for cadets to investigate advanced concepts in aerospace science and technology, and solidify their understanding of aerospace fundamentals by helping junior cadets pursue their aerospace studies. To complete Achievements 9, 10, and 11, cadets must pass a test of their aerospace knowledge using CAP Test 63. These un-timed, multiple-choice tests are conducted open-book and based on selected chapters of Aerospace: The Journey of Flight (see Figure 2-4). Cadets may take the tests in any order, passing a different test for each achievement. If possible, cadets should study the Aerospace: The Journey of Flight chapters that most closely match the Aerospace Dimensions module being studied by the cadets they are mentoring or instructing.

EDIT: Forgot to add figure 2-4 text

...
Cadets must complete one test during each of the following achievements: 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16, for a total of six tests during Phases III and IV. Cadets may take the tests in any order, passing a different test for each achievement. If possible, cadets should study the Aerospace: The Journey of Flight chapters that most closely match the Aerospace Dimensions module being studied by the cadets they are mentoring or instructing. Some chapters in Aerospace: The Journey of Flight (11-17, 20, 22) are not included in the course of study for cadets. Phase III and IV aerospace tests are open-book.

It means exactly what it says. Take the table of contents and break it out in blocks of 3 and pick one.

The tests do not follow the chapter divisions (i.e. - instead of a test on chapters 1-3, you might have a test on chapters 1,5,and 14).  I am not aware of any "public" documentation of this, so you'll have to ask your testing officer what chapters each test covers.

52-16 is your friend. You're a cadet officer, you should know where to find this info.
