You could try to use the Containable Behaviour
(http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/behaviors/containable.html)

$this->Test->find(
'all',
array(
'contain' => array(
'Course',
'Question' => array(
'Answer'
)
)
),
'conditions' => array(
'Test.id' => $id
)
);

That should bring back the proper array with the answers corresponding
to each question.
