Promotional Tests

PLEASE TAKE NOTE

Dear all, please take note that there will be promotional tests coming up some days after the camp. As for the actual date, it will be posted once it has been confirmed. Below are some of the things that will be tested for each level. There will be lessons on Evacuation and revision for the other subjects during trainings or even the camp. So you are strongly encouraged NOT to miss any of the trainings that we may plan for you. Do be aware that passing these tests does not warrant you any incentive badges nor does it mean you will get promoted to a new rank. Promotion rank-wise will also depend on other factors such as attendance and attitude of cadet. This promotion is strictly for promotion to the next level in the unit and a guideline for us to judge the cadets when looking at who to be promoted rank-wise. Thank You.

As for Charlie, you will be informed of your tested syllabus at a later date.
Lastly a note to all, I personally do not encourage mass memorising for any form of tests or examinations. So do make sure that you understand the concept rather than just memorising what is given. As for these tests, I do not really like asking things such as "in which year" or etc... So make use of these tips during preparation for the tests. Last but not least, please help to spread this news to all your peers and juniors/seniors. Do spend about 30mins a day reading through your notes and you may wish to gather with your friends to practise your footdrill together. If there is any questions, feel free to either post a message at the tag board or to email me at tanchunleong@hotmail.com .
