8. Take your test! Tango Flight cadets will be given a pre-test on paper during one of our meetings. Don’t worry if you don’t do well – but you will probably do better than you thought! This will help you know what areas you need to study more for the final leadership test.
9. Didn’t pass? Go back and read the chapter again. Focus on the areas you highlighted. Repeat the other options that may help you: listen to the chapter, play the games, use the flash cards. Ask someone to help you explain anything you don’t understand. When you are ready to test again, let the squadron commander know.
10. Passed! Awesome work! You have not only met the objectives of Chapter 1, but you have learned new ways to help you study.
