It's TSSAA (Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association)
We use the open book test as a group project during our mandatory meetings. We just go around the room and take turn reading and answering the questions. If anybody has any questions, we address right there on the spot.
The closed book exam is taken individually, with books closed, and no time limit. The taking of the closed book exam is not mandatory. But failure to do so, and score 90% or above, prohibits an umpire from getting any District, Regional, or State playoff assignments.
Also, there is no feedback on test results. We take the test and that's the last we hear of it. We don't find out if we "passed", "failed", or what our score was. We hand it in, walk out of the room, and that's it.
