Oh yeah, I forgot to mention...
Our part II exam was monitored by our state official's coordinator, was closed book, and limited to one hour and fifteen minutes. He collected our question sheet, answer sheet and personal data sheet at the end of the exam. These will be returned to us at a later date (middle of September we were told). In order to work any state play-off games we have to score at least an 80 or higher (90 or higher for 10 years or less experience; go figure; are older officials less intelligent???)... Then of course they are going to observe us for at least one regular season game to make sure our mechanics and judgement are up to standards.
Anyway, I think its a good idea to get everyone to score at least 80%.
