If not, what are the requirements for your board/association?

Just took a practice test and I'm wondering where I would fall.

We expect our officials to give 110% while on the floor. I don't see any reason why we'd expect any less on a test.

And you have to get the same score "both ways".

Thanks all, I thought maybe it differed from state to state. Just took a practice test on my own (closed book) and got a 86%. Guess some of those rules I've been reading have been sinking in.

It does vary by state drastically when not all states take the same tests for the same purposes. There are some states that do not take any of the NF tests at all.

Also I would not put much stock in a single test score. There are a lot of things the NF does not test as it relates to your real knowledge of the rules. Those tests are created to trick you as to what your word for word knowledge is in the rulebook.

Where does one find these practice tests?

In the great state of Missouri, NFHS Part 1 tests, you must score 75% or more. The way you get promoted to do post season games is doing varsity games. You will get rated by the coaches. Based on the rated and the amount of varsity games you do, among with other things like attending rule meetings, will get you to the top. There is no state promotion like, one year you do Jr. High, then you take a test and next year you are doing JV. If you are good, then you are going to get some big games. If you are not so good, then well, better learn next year. I haven't figure out what does our state do with our part 2, but if you do not file it in time, then you will be placed on probation.

Here you must pass, with an 80% score on both, an open book 200 question test and then a 100 question closed book test every single year to become qualified. There is no step system based on the written. However, if one wants to improve their rating, their test scores are considered in the decision. We also must attend 18 hours of instruction every year in a local association to be qualified to work any high school game.

A la our cold-water boiling discussion, this kinda depends on what average you use.

I presume that you're talking about about the Ron Jeremy scientific papers on how extraordinary circumstances can directly affect the computed average.

The vast majority of people have an above average number of arms.

How does one give 110%?

How does one score 110 on a exam that has a highest possible score of 100?

I agree 120%.
