In IL, there are three levels of officials - registered, recognized, and certified. To be registered, just send your dues to the IHSA, take the open-book rules test and pass with at least 80%, and attend a rules interp meeting. To get to the next level, recognized, you must have been a registered official for at least two years prior, get at least 85% on the open-book test, get at least 85% on a closed-book rules test, and receive a minimum score on 6 ratings from coaches and certified officials. The next level, certified, involves having been a recognized official for three years prior, score 90% on the open-book test, 85% on the closed-book test, work a minimum number of varsity-level contests that year, and get a minimum score on 6 ratings from coaches and other certified officials.
As JRut said, there is more info on the IHSA website.
Good luck!
