Are you tested every year on the same material? (If you can't answer, I understand)

Yep. For an OES "A" cert in Texas, it's a 100% score on the Secret Work (in which copies issued to chapters are very strictly controlled) and at least a 90% in questions on the published ritual, constitution and code of laws. A "B" cert is for scoring 100% in the secret work only. All questions are administered orally.
Masons in Texas and other jurisdictions have very similar proficiency requirements for certification in the ritual. I was once certified at a "C" level of proficiency in the Texas and Oklahoma work.
"C" - questions and answers in the categorical lectures, plus opening and closing a lodge
"B" - same requirements as a "C" but adds conferral of the three degrees
"A" - all requirements of "B" and "C" plus the long-form lectures.
Other than Kappa Sigma's ritual certification process (don't worry, all I know is what is open-source on the KS website), I don't know if other fraternities or sororities do the same; I know Alpha Sigma Phi does not.
