My college group test each year with an open book test that we have two weeks to complete. That works out pretty well as the purpose is to get folks into the book. In Pa, the Fed test is a closed book test - that you can only take once a quarter. I'm not convinced it's handled the best way possible as it's purpose is to show that you have enough knowledge to send out onto the field. We're hurting for officials enough that many do not spend much time at the JV level before moving to the Varsity level of games. 'Course in other areas of the state a new official will spend years at Jr High, then at JV before moving to Varsity games.
