INFORMATION ABOUT THE TESTING
PROCESS
TESTING DATES FOR PART II:
FOOTBALL PART 2: August 25 –
September 11
HOW TO STUDY:
Read each rule thoroughly for
understanding. The rules can
sometimes be difficult to
understand and interpret. Give
yourself time to read and
interpret the information being
given. The test questions come
primarily from the Rules Book.
HOW TO TAKE THE TEST:
The test questions should be
read very carefully. The terms
never, always, shall, or may are
red flags for you and cause to
review the question. Wording of
some questions is taken strictly
from the rules book. Sometimes
one word in the sentence may be
changed which gives the sentence
another meaning. Go through the
test and answer the questions
you are sure of. Then go
through again to answer those
that you need to refer to the
rules book. Finally, go through
again to make sure you have
answered all questions. There
is no time limit so you can take
your time in going through the
test questions. You may review
the test at more than one
sitting. Do not submit before
you finalize the process. Just
make sure you submit the answers
by the end of the testing period
indicated above at Testing
Dates.
WHEN THE EXAM IS SUBMITTED,
THERE IS NO GOING BACK TO
WITHDRAW THE SUBMISSION. YOU
ARE DONE AT THAT POINT. You
will not be allowed a second
chance.
