I am not a cadet, and I believe regulations forbid the discussion of the test itself so hence my question is pretty vague which is why I am writing to give my question a better meaning.
I want to know what is on the test for my own educational knowledge, as i do help supervise cadets at my squadron and sometimes new cadets will be tested in D&C so they can receive their first stripe. I am not sure it is appropriate to ask the testing officer to show me (not take) a blank scoring sheet for the curry D&C test.
Is there another way I can glance at one, or are all the commands listed in Chapter 1 of the leadership module/book to be tested on? I did read leadership 1 of the cadet leadership module (my sister is a cadet, so I sometimes need to be able to help her) and I presume that all the stationery and non stationery commands are prominently tested during the curry D&C practical exam.
Thank you for your time in sharing your knowledge and expertise and for helping out in CAP :)

Ok dumb question and I know this sounds like a "duh" thing... and I know I don't have to be told that we are an extension of the USAF that is why we are the Auxiliary.
Are you telling me that the Airman basic testing for D&C practical to become Airman in CAP is identical to what they would do in the USAF? I'll have a look here and see if I have any further questions that refute this one.
CAP uses the Air Force Drill and Ceremonies manual. Why reinvent the wheel?
As for your original question, get with your Test Administrator (aka Testing Officer). They can show you what is covered on the Drill Eval for the Curry Achievement.
It's pretty basic stuff.
While I will not knowingly violate the regs from giving you the actual tested material, look at page 17 of chapter 1 of the leadership manual. There is a published list.

They include:
Stationary Drill Commands

This is exactly what the cadet sees in their leadership book chapter 1 (I have seen it for myself) my question is are ALL of these on the test? and without being a TCO there'd be no way of knowing for myself obviously.
Thanks for the answer, I believe I have the answer.
the old addage is very true, as i tell my cadets......If it is in the chapter, then it is testable material.
The commands are easy to know. They don't have to be perfect, as the cadets are new cadets, being in the program only 60 days before being tested. for most cadets thats only 8 practice sessions with the cadet corps.
It sez:
The following are the drill commands you will need to learn to complete this achievement.
That pretty much tells me that all of them will be tested.

I have seen non CAP tests randomized, the book might say "the following may be on the test, or will be on the test" so does that mean when a cadet basic is tested they may not necessarily be tested on all of the aforementioned commands?
WIWAC, and later as a CDC, the test was on everything in the list. These are skill items, not knowledge items.
They are supposed to be tested on all the items on the list.
IIRC, though, it's "scored" as if it were a T/F test (T if they do it right, F if they don't) and then "graded" so they can still pass even if they miss a few commands.
