 Instructions:  This is an open-book test based on the 2011/2012 HRC Rulebook.  You may consult with your Field Representative or another Judge if you are unsure of any question.  However, the completion of the test is to be by you and is based on your honor.  

RESULTS WILL BE PROCESSED & YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED BY E-MAIL WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS.

      You must answer a minimum of 19 questions correctly to obtain a passing ‘C’ grade.  If you fail the test, it will be noted in your Judge Record and you will be allowed to retake the test.  If you fail a second time, you will be required to wait 30 days and your License will be placed on ‘hold’ status until the test is completed with a passing grade.
