NFHS softball supervised test

[shipwreck]

This is the first year that we are able to take the supervised softball test. Are we way behind other states or is this something new for everone? One of our scheduled dates for this test is Wednesday and I was just wondering. Dave

We take it every year but our test isn't usually till like March . . . you are taking it now???

I probably could come up with some old Part 2 tests to help you study if you want . . . PM me if you are interested.

Larry, I did PM you just in case you didn't check. Dave

In Pennsylvania, we take the test once - and must pass in order to work scholastic games. We never have to take the test agaian.
There are other requirements, but they are primarily local chapter and district oriented.

In Florida we've always taken the supervised closed book NFHS test annually in late February. You can take an open book test, but are not eligible for post-season assignments. In 2008 we have an option of the closed book supervised test or on-line testing. The "closed book" on line test is 50 questions in 50 minutes.

In Texas, The Texas Association of Sports Officials, or TASO, has always taken the responsibilty for testing officials in all sports, preferring to use their own test over the NFHS one. For several years now, we have had the choice of taking the test online or as an open book test with our respective chapters.

Wouldn't that be the Part I test? We also have to take that one every year as well as the supervised Part II test.

In WA, we have had an online test for several years. There are still paper versions available for all six people left in WA State who don't own a computer.

You can take it open book, closed book, on a book, however ya wanna do it. You may also stop and come back to the test a number of times.

I'm sure there is a minimum score, but since I am always perfect in everything I do I have no idea what that might be.



(Just kidding in that last phrase, for those of you scoring at home.)

No. As I stated, I thought rather concisely, TASO prefers to use their own test. The actual test we see is one that originates from the TASO offices in Austin, TX. We don't use the NFHS one at all.

My bad . . . in WV they will sometimes rewrite it, opting to put in a few questions regarding our own niches - but they still go with the crap testing from NF.

Mountaineer, have you faxed me the old tests yet? Just wondering because my test is coming up tomorrow. Thanks, Dave

Let us revisit 5th grade mathematics. 85% is not all of something. 100% is all. So a score of 100 is the best you can do, not 85. I hope that we don't have to revisit this again!

Should be on their way . . . Good luck! I included my phone number in case you have any questions.
