The tests are not designed to be learned. They are designed to test your skills, how quick and adaptable your learning style is (though it is possible to learn techniques etc). In my experience with this particular facet; testing is in place to ensure applicants will be able to cut the mustard in the training phase of the game. If one honestly cannot get through stage 1 on ones natural ability (no training), and 'blitzs' it with training, I doubt said person has the money in the bank to have been a serious c&t capt (mind you I could be wrong). I haven't heard of any applicants in the past few years who had c&t experience and missed out first go success on second . Perhaps this was a long time ago.
