I ask because I did three varsity HS games last year and I have two scheduled for next week. I have never heard of a requirement to take the test.

Yes. If you lived in Washington you would not be working varsity games without passing the FED test.

I am amazed that California has no method to verify its umpires have even a passing acquaintance with the rules.
