Post by: BradM on September 13, 2010, 06:01:50 PM
What are the stydy materials necessary so I can begin to work on the AEPSM Yeager award and take the test online? Are there some pdf files I can download?
Thank you,
BradM

Buy the book that bte mentioned in his post. It beats reading the PDF files and you will actually enjoy learning from it.

I really don't know why it is in a "secure" area in the first place.  There isn't anything in it that is top secret.  It makes me wonder, if our mission is Aerospace Education, why would we want to restrict our resource of education from anyone who wanted it?

Your unit should have several copies you can borrow...

Depending on how much you know about aviation and space history and how much you remember about clouds and the planets in school, you can probably take the test cold turkey and pass.  Also if you were a cadet before, you shouldn't have any major problems passing it either.

The book itself is a good read if you need to brush up on materials.

I've been inactive as a cadet for 2+ years and took it cold turkey in about 40mins for a passing score of 90%.

I think for myself I would need to study the materials. I havent been in the aviation field nor a cadet. In college I studied accounting and afterwards for fun I took my saxophone out of mothballs and took jazz music lessons. :) I did take an astronomy class in junior college.

How many questions are on the test?

There are 100.

MA Wing used to do intensive weekend seminars and you took the test closed book. That's how I originally got mine. However, I've been known to log into e-services and take the test cold when I'm bored. I haven't failed it yet.

You won't regret it and it gives you a pretty good idea what the cadets are exposed to.

Dyou can probably take the test cold turkey and pass.

When I found the test was online, and I could just take it at will, I did exactly that.  93% on the first shot.
