test tomorrow

A Pennsylvania Coach · #1 (**permalink**) Sun Jun 01, 2003, 12:09pm

I'm taking the test tomorrow night. I'm still coaching, but I thought I could make some supplemental income in the offseason. I have to score a 75 on the Part I test. They sent me the 2001-02 test to practice and I got an 86. (I don't get a score for court presence, however!

)

Any advice? Most of my misses were in the first few sections, definitions and the like, so I'm going to reread rules 1 and 10 today.

Nicve going, PACoach.
Only advice I have is to move to Michigan where testing is unecessary.
Good luck.

Not much advice here, Coach. I would say to study up on the definitions, especially of BI and GT. Other than that, relax. You'd probably pass even without studying, just by reading the board for the last year. Good luck to you!

......then what's a small test?

Always consider the actual wording of the rulebook. NF tests tend to ask questions with on word wrong and will consider it false, even if it makes sense to the test taker. So you almost have to really understand the actual wording, to do well.

Rut - when you said "I have one", were you answering my question?

Shall we assume you're not referring to croquet?

I took my small tests

to the test site, and it seemed pretty easy. I think I have the members of this board to thank for that. There were only four I wasn't sure about, so I'm guessing my score is between 96-100. I'm surprised, after taking it, that only 75 is needed to pass. Somebody who gets only 75 is going to be wrong several times in every game he or she officiates.

Attaboy, PACoach,
Perhaps, some of that weird stuff happens less than once every ten years. And some officials review their answers and make 'em right in their minds.

I wish you'd have been coaching the game I did tonight instead of the ... well, let's just say, guy that was. Worst part was, I'm not sure who looked worse -- him or me! Still not perfect, doggone it...
