Having just passed to class 1 (Varsity HS) in Ohio I can shed some light.
There is a Mechanics exam and a Rules exam. Both are T-F 100 question tests.
To pass to Class 2 (or Class 3 if still in high school) you must score 75% open book on both.
To pass to Class 1 you must have had on court experience, at least 2 favorable reviews by Class 1 Officials and pass with 80% closed book on both tests.
The test follows the Mechanics book and is changed every two years. Therefore the test I took did not include going table side in three whistle games after calling a foul.
It will be new for next year.
Remember I can only speak for Ohio as far a Class or level of officiating available.
I have some older copies that our association gave for study guides but they do not have the references.
