When your local board gives the annual federation written
examination to your members, what are the conditions under which the exam is written?

I am not sure what you mean by local board, but our NF Tests are given strictly by the State (Illinois High School Association). The Part 1 is completely open book and must be turned in by a certain date. If the mail is running properly, we have a little over a month to do this. The Part 2 Exam can be open or closed depending on what promotion level you are trying to achieve. Promotion is the only reason we use the Part 2 Exam. If you have reached the highest promotion level, you will never have to take the Part 2 again as long as you pay dues and achieve all other requirements that the IHSA has set out.


WHO SHOULD MAKE THIS DECISION ?

Whoever gives you a license or games. I would assume for most this is the states that set the requirements, because they are directly representated by the NF. If an local association requires some other things, that probably has more do to with being a member of that organization.
