Ours was 25 questions, printed by the NCAA and administered by our assignor. Whether it was required or not by the NCAA, I have no idea. I know that if I didn't take it, no contract. Our assignor makes it very clear that rule knowledge, inside and out is essential because an official better know how to handle situations without having to refer to a rulebook especially in the heat of battle. I've only just started at this level but one thing I've noticed is that most of the coaches know the rules as opposed to many high school coaches. Therefore, if I'm on the floor to make sure the game is to played by the rules, I better know the rules and how to administer them prior to walking on the floor. Because if you screw up administering a rule, or if you decide to administer something your own way because you believe the rules are not that important, you can be damn sure your assignor will hear about it and then bye-bye contract!
