I guess I'm wondering is this true across the country? I do well scoring between 91-99 each year, BUT the exam just freaks me out

BTW it's only part 1--- score of 70 required
Here in Washington State, the exam is open book. I usually get between a 97 and 100 depending on how many extremely poorly written questions are on the test from the NFHS test editor.

I can't remember what we need to pass - maybe 70 also?

Regardless of the fact that it's open book, we still have the occasional veteran official who fails the test. I guess they don't understand that they aren't just supposed to open the book, but they're supposed to read and study it also. I think they believe that when they perused the book 20 years ago in their rookie year, they are covered for life.

Those are the same officials who call a travel on a player when he leans over and touches the ball to the floor with both hands.
