NFHS Test Score
Is there a standard, NFHS-wide minimum score that must be met in order to be eligilbe for scholastic play?
If not, what are the requirements for your board/association? Just took a practice test and I'm wondering where I would fall. |
Our HS association uses a point system for ranking officials...10% of those points are based on test scores...we take the PArt 1 NFHS test and then several others written by board members. All are open book tests.

I don't believe there is a nation-wide, NFHS minimum score available, I think it is dependent on your local associations. In IL, for example, there is a state-wide minimum score of 80 on the open book exam to get a license. Then there are other minimums on closed-book exams for promotions to various levels. There might also be local associations that use the exam for promotions and assignments.
So, the very specific answer to your question is: it depends. ;) |
I agree with everyone else. Scores are state specific. Here in the corn state (I refuse to call it the Hawkeye state) we have separate scores for the open and closed book. In addition, you can earn a higher certification with the state for higher closed book scores (I believe it is 95% and above). Check with your state to see what's expected of you.

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.

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. Peace |
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.

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