In Washington it works by local association. In most of the state the test is given as an open book test. In Seattle we take it closed book. No receiving anything except books ahead of time. There are minimums to pass and also to become eligible for playoff consideration. Rookies (1&2 year) take the test openbook.
We take it on a Saturday (site open for most of the day), receive the results about 10 days later, and let the arguing begin!
