It is only hard if you don't learn and study the material.

I've read and reread the chapters.

Depends if you have the Wright Stuff .. or not. Hard is relative.
It's a controlled item none the less. It's not full of any tricks. I'll let you in on that one "secret". Anything else, you'll find out the day you take it.
I would be worrying about the written portion myself. :)
But like the written portion, it's comprehensive, and based on the previous three chapters.

As in the Wright Brothers Exam? Drill is part of the leadership exam, in which case your Testing Officer should've informed you whether you passed or not.

:o The power of three's.. sometimes it takes me three of something to get back to a cadet on a test result. But three weeks? That's unacceptable.
:P

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
The required Drill moves are not secret and are in the Cadet Drill Pamphlet that you received with your cadet package. If you don't have it, download from the Cadet Programs website.
No, the drill moves themselves are not secret. But since the test sheet itself is not published anywhere except with the controlled items that came from NHQ, the exact moves, the order of them, and anything nearly specific is controlled.
But the Drill Test book is available on line and there is a paragraph in the introduction which says
" There is no need for this test to be secured. because these are performance tests and the subject matter is known to the cadets, there is essentially no advantage to cadets who happen to see the test booklet in advance"
Add to that it is available to download from the site without a password or login.

It's published online and not a controlled item.
The drill tests published include achievement tests. The WBA drill test is only found attached to the leadership test sent from nhq.

I apologize, you're right. That said, if you can do the first three drill tests, you can do the Wright Bros. Drill Test.

This is ridiculous, as it is unnecessarily delaying you completing the test.
Or retest in case of a failure. If I can manage to grade an Earhart (or two) and two WBA in a night, so can anyone else.

I don't know? Are they?
^Haha. Sorry I meant my not are. :P

How about...
"Our Testing Officer doesn't say anything until about 3 weeks after we take the test."
(Which is still a clunky sentence.)
You should get the results immediately.
^I know right. They want us to promote but they dont tell us that if we passed so we can promote.
How can I get to the drill PDF or textbook?
The drill portion of the Wright Bros exam is part of the exam and is not part of the drill test manual that is availible.
OK

Even if circumstances keep them from grading the test immediately (it does happen sometimes), then certainly by the next meeting.

Make sure you know the first three tests fully:

Might need to get off the DS and onto a computer to open it.

The first thing you need to know is that you capitalize the first letter of a person's name as in
Wright. This is especially important as they were actually awesome.
