In California we have a 200 question Study Guide (open book) that must be completed prior to our instructional sessions (15 hours for returning officials and 20 hours for 1st and 2nd year officials)and it requires 80% correct for eligibility to work. Then we use a 100 question Classification Exam (4 versions) and it also must be passed at 80%. If an official does not achieve 80% on both of these they can take a Make-up Classification Exam and if they achieve 80% on that then they are eligible to receive assignments.
