Amen to all the above. As the Navy says "in gouge we trust" (gouge being the unofficial study guide) but the corollary to that is "live by the gouge, DIE by the gouge" because the unofficial stuff can so often be very outdated and WRONG...So, my advice is the same: don't rely on amateurish quizlets as an authoritative source (any more than you should be using Wikipedia as an authority for ANY research). In general, you shouldn't to use ANY unofficial, non-peer reviewed, inaccurate sources produced by amateurs as the sole basis for your academic preparation. Stick with the real source material (as cited here) and those learning objectives as your guide. Best wishes - repost in a week or two and let us know when you've passed - hopefully with a 90 something plus percent!Good luck to you!Spam
Yup. The books are your best source. Look at the objectives they call them outcomes) in each section, and see what they want you to take away from the lesson. That's where the test questions are supposed to be taken from.Here's a sample - Module 2 - AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS AND AIRPORTSChapter 1 - Airplane SystemsLearning Outcomes- Explain how a reciprocating engine operates.- Identify parts of the airplane engine when viewed externally.- Describe how a jet engine operates.- Identify basic cockpit-mounted powerplant controls.- Identify basic flight instruments.If you can recall that info from memory, for each module and chapter, you can pass the test.Also, make sure the test you are taking and the Aerospace Dimensions Modules you are studying are the same edition.
The Testing Officer should have shredded the old test as soon as the last cadet studying under the old book either passed or left the program. But the questions on either test are generally the same or have slight differences. If possible have the TO set you up on the Internet version of the test, so it is aligned with the latest version.
Don't be too hard on yourself - your experience is fairly typical. The AE test seems to be the one that gives many cadets some difficultly, and multiple attempts isn't uncommon.

Hopefully I will get it next time.

Read the "learning objectives" for each chapter. Then, after making notes, try it again.Don't forget, these "quizlets" are not done by CAP. They are done by other teen agers trying to help, and although well intentioned could be very, very inaccurate.Keep plugging. Orville and Wilbur took months to figure out the basics.V/rSpam

I finally passed. Just a note, the test's questions do not seem to be taken from learning objectives. I didn't find much similarity. The way I passec was by using 500+ sticky notes and annotating every book...
but the Mitchell aerospace test is almost a roll of the dice if you pass it or not, unless you memorize every word in the books; and even then you're not guaranteed.
