Hey guys, here are my two cents on this matter. Spend the $35 and get your license. Join a local association, and start working local games as soon as the high school season ends. Most associations around will keep you working until late July and will want you to be licensed. Believe it or not, my estimate is that 20% of IHSA baseball umpires do not even work high school games. When I contact them for a high school assignment I hear more often that not they just wanted to get certified to do local games.
Now as far as the Federation test goes...I think it gets easier every year. After spending about 15 hours on the NCAA test, I started the FEd test and had 28 questions done in 10 minutes...all correct. Yea, they have wordy questions, but most all of them are verbatim out of the book and easy to find. Anything less than a 95 on this is a disappointment, imho.
