Typically, in my Board, the IAABO Mechanics Exam is a 50 item written (T or F) based on the 03-05 Mechanics Manual for the 2 and 3 man game. This is followed up by a floor test with a Senior Evaluator at a calibre appropriate to the level being sought. We therefore designate the testing (game and court mechanics) according to a Panel designation. Currently we have Associate, Junior, Intermediate and Panel 5,4,3,2,1 (1 being university/college). More is expected of each panel for passing grade (commonly accepted at 86%).
