I have an idea...study instead of hoping for the same questions!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
I happened to get my Earhart tests on my first try. If you're testing online (which I would recommend), you'll need to look at all of the most recent aerospace work. Take a look at all the online AE tests you've had, and review everything, because if it showed up on a test in the past, it will be on the Earhart.Same study philosophy goes for the Leadership test.It's not easy, and it would be a failure to the organization if it was. The best of luck to you!
The answer to your question is yes. There are many people who have taken even longer. So get over it and move on. And stop trying to game the system!!You failed the prior times simply because YOU failed to adequately prepare. Don't try to throw you squadron commander under the bus. You should have already known what the proper material was before you cracked a book.As a cadet officer you are expected to LEAD not have your hand held. Be proactive!! Take charge and show you can lead by preparing yourself for the challenge.
I have not taken the online exams, and I imagine my scores would be lower if I had. I passed written leadership the first try without studying (think I got 90 or 94). I failed the aerospace exam twice (68 and 78) before passing (either 90 or 98) - and it was identical every time (didn't study for the first attempt and didn't try to remember the questions, did study for the last two). Our other Eaker cadet took a while on her Earhart tests too. You'll get there, just study.I don't know if it's possible to actually look at your previous tests for practice (aside from immediately after you take them). I haven't found a way.
Learn and master the materiel instead of trying to game the system. First time pass, all cadet tests here... back when they were not open book. Step up your game cadet.
The tests which are now required to be done on line, unless there are special circumstances, have a test pool of 300 questions. SO that you generally won't get the same questions every time. As said by other responders. Study your previous tests. the Aerospace book, and ask the Testing Officer to make a list of missed subjects.

Step up your game cadet.I have learned the material, Wasn't trying to cheat the system just the absolute difference on how the tests were surprised me. Wow so supportive I am the top cadet in my squadron and second in the wing. I simply had a hard time passing one test because Im more focused on the bettering of others rather then myself.

Saying you’ve had a hard time passing because you were so busy helping others is something that others might say about somebody. It’s not, however, an honorific that one may bestow on oneself. And, if that IS what happened, you need to reorder your your priorities. Remember, there is a reason why the flight attendant tells you to put your mask on before trying to put the mask on anybody else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Once again wasn't using it as an excuse simply that I would allow cadets to come up and ask me something if they needed it while I was testing (Thus bettering them because they then knew how to deal with the situation)
+1 the above, it's a common excuse cadets make to either not progress at all, or when they struggle that they are "too busy helping others". Mentoring is part of the equation, but as a cadet your primary focus is supposed to be your own progression and growth, as you are perishable, and there are senior members whose job it is to help struggling cadets.

I said that because honestly I was I spend at least two hours a day working on CAP stuff from home and on average two or more days a week doing in person work. I can tell that because I am the vice chair for CAC the Deputy commander for our encampment the assistant to the Cadet Program Cadet for the wing and the wing cadet PAO. Since we have no other Wing Cadet slots and I am in the second highest position in each I can tell and have been told by many Wing Directors
