Wow, your state requires you to pass the NFHS test to officiate.
To become a registered official in Michigan you must
1) Pay your money
2) Pass the MHSAA Officials Guidebook Test (which has ZERO sport specific rules but makes you know about the MHSAA).
3) Start officiating.
Only two sports in Michigan, football and basketball require you to pass a sport specific test to become an official.
Michigan does not require officials to pass a sport specific rules test unless they a new football or basketball official, or they are trying to work state post-season games (Varsity only). For non-state tourney officials and officials working subvarsity there is no requirement that you ever pass a sport specific test.
