Lightbulb The Power rating is #1, not test taking.

I got #1 from your previous post, which listed 7 areas or criteria, and test scores was under #1...and we all know that with the way those tests are written missing 3 or 4 questions is not only easy but fairly common - and I don't think that has much to do with intelligence levels...but your state goes have an interesting evaluation process...
You can get 100 on the test. You can get 85 on the test. You can get a 95. If you are not a Certified Official, you are not getting a playoff game, thanks for playin. Even if those officials that are fortunate to get a playoff as an X (Registered official, everyone is this level at the very beginning) or an R, you will never advance past the Regional level. No association, no assignor is even going to give you consideration in the other areas of consideration if you do not take the time to get your ranking to a Certified official. And you can interpret all night about how important the test is, and you will find that if you are not Certified, you can almost guarantee your fate in the playoffs. And that would be watching it like most of the officials do throughout the state.

So for any official that moves to this state, has experience and can consistently get high marks on the Part 1 Exam, be prepared to sit for some years until you become Certified.

Peace
