142 MIMICO SQUADRON MARKING STRUCTURE
The following marking scheme will be used to assess which deserving Flying Scholarship candidates will receive
recommendation to write the Canadian Forces Qualifying Exam.
10% - 8 Assignments (Glider) 9 Assignments (Power)
+ 20% - 5 Quizzes
+ 30% - 2 Term Tests
+ 20% - Final Exam
+ 20% - Participation and Attendance
= 100% - Final Mark
The cadets that have the highest marks and motivation to excel in aviation for their respective applied courses will
be recommended to write the qualifying exam.
Names for the exam must be submitted in November. Therefore, cadets will be chosen based on (approximately):
-First 5 assignments
-First 3 quizzes
-Term Test 1
-Attendance and Participation up to the appropriate date
The number of slots available for the squadron is TBA. One spare will be sent to write each exam in the event that
one of the main candidates cannot attend the course for any reason. After the main candidates and spare are chosen,
the rest of the marks will determine the priority list numbers that the cadets are assigned for summer training.
Participation and attendance is based on all mandatory squadron activities (parade nights, 3 tagging shifts,
Remembrance Day ceremonies and the survival ex) as well as ground school classes. Extra marks will be given to
those that go beyond the minimum Squadron requirements.
