OFFICIAL USRCCA Judges Test
 
Jason and Badger have agreed to purchase some software that I believe will raise the standard of judging, and increase the rules knowledge of all crawlers.

http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/...es-judges-test

The current test is 50 questions, and designed to challenge your rules knowledge. Don't worry if you miss questions. Its better to miss questions on a test than to miss calls while judging. Most scores Dramatically improve on second attempts.

The questions automatically shuffle on every test, so don't try to memorize the order.


HAVE FUN"thumbsup"

should know as you have taken it also "thumbsup"

But as an event organizer, I absolutely love it as a teaching tool. It helps us all improve on areas we lack. Besides, would you rather be judged by someone who scored a 20% or a 85% :mrgreen:


I'm ready to take it again after the whole test is finished

DickyT 12-20-2010 06:26 AM

I have learned a good amount in this process so far. with the "new" test I have taken it 6 times now. I got 94, 95, 100, 100, 98 (put bullet in wrong answer trying to speed test, but knew answer) and 100

I can not wait for more questions and for the ability to have our local club members take it "thumbsup"

Thank you to Fish and anyone else involved in putting this together for us!

DpdSurf got the ball rolling and found some on-line testing software. DpdSurf, Twisted Creations, and I wrote 95% of the questions (Why TC gets 100's :flipoff:) With Sven, Nicklepimp, and Rocked Up Ricky also giving creative input.

I managed the process to get the test created, tested, and eventually implemented.

Last but not least Jason & Badger for stepping up, and purchasing the software that allows this to happen!

A driver is attempting a vertical climb on gate 6 with zero points thus far. During this time, the vehicle is starting to slip backwards without the tires changing directions. The driver is unfortunate as the vehicle has rolled over when the truck got to the bottom of the climb . The driver wiggles the truck around, and is unable to correct the vehicle then performs a legal rollover recovery. At this time, how many points does the driver have?
A. 1 B. 5 (correct answer) C. 6 (your answer) D. 11

I was unaware that wiggle specifically meant steering only... I was thinking forward/reverse wiggle at the time.

The wiggle is irrelevant (steering only or forward/reverse) since the wiggle occurred while upside down in the rollover position. The only penalty in the scenario was the actual rollover recovery = 5pts

You wasn't supposed to tell them that. Damn, I had people thinking I was somewhat smart :lmao:

Is there a way on quiz maker that we could see our score and time compared to others?
and I dont get the video,its true or false but I saw no questin

I saw some reverses on the tall gate attempt
and some other penalties here and there during the vid,but nothing to answer true or false to.

I made note of the same reverses on "the gate" waiting for a question. I answered true thinking there was truly some good crawling in the video and was marked as correct.

I think that is just testing out the test software's capabilities and not an actual test?

Can the different versions of this test be found at the same link? (are changes made or are new tests created)

Initially there will be a 50 question USRCCA Judges Test thats intended to prepare Judges for big events as well as the guys that judge alot locally.

I turned on the random sort feature so the test is a little different every time.

Once the 2011 Rules are completed we will make sure the test agrees with the update.

Both the 2011 Rules & the Final Version of the TEST should be ready about the same time.

After that there will be a 10-12 question Basic Rules test to cover the basics.

The is also plans for a video test.

JeremyH 12-22-2010 11:28 AM

Ahh....ok. Yeah, after seeing Ashton's score, I figure his test had 50 questions....which is quite different from the test that I took....

His score was a 98....unless there was some crazy rounding, there had to be 50 questions (and he missed one) or 100 questions (and he missed 2)...

There is not 50 questions yet, unless he was given a different link than I.

On the 40 question test if you missed 1 it gave a 98.

JeremyH 12-22-2010 11:43 AM

Ahh...I see....each question is worth, what one of my old prefessors called, a "large" 2 points.....:lol:

Yea i took the test "cold" after coming home from palooza i kinda got out of comping for a while. So i figured what the heck ill try and not even look at the rules. Needles to say if i was preping myself for a comp i was judgeing i would read then a couple times.

PaloAltoK5 12-22-2010 11:01 PM

Jeremy, there's 50 right answers, but only 44 questions...just to confuse you a little more!!

The CrAwLL BLACK 01-05-2011 02:28 AM

Hey Fish and the rest of the team,

Great test guys.

A very useful tool for helping judges, but I suspect also very helpful for drivers too.

I got 95 out of 100 on my first attempt. 2 wrong....I over thought one of them, and then just plain got the 2nd wrong...

Must be the accent

The formatting looked a bit strange on my PC, not sure about the rest of you.

I especially like how you can have the pop up explanation after you submit your answers.

Well done guys.

Cheers,
Mike.

Sounds like the licensing tests that I have to regularly take to work. At least this test was proofread and didn't cost me $600 to take..."thumbsup"

Fishmaxx 01-19-2011 04:44 PM

The software is set up, so I can forward the results if you WANT to judge at a big comp. That dosn't work if you don't use your RCC Screen name.:roll:

easleycrawler 01-19-2011 04:44 PM

Well I took the test 3 times today. 1st time got a 84, 2nd time 94, 3rd time 100."thumbsup"

Fishmaxx 01-19-2011 04:47 PM

To post your results....Right Click on Image, then Click save Image Location, then paste into image button in thread.

OVER ACHIEVER!!!! :flipoff:

JEracing 01-19-2011 06:08 PM

i got an 85 on my first shot.... I was giving multi penalties on the tumbles but now realize, as soon as the boundary is hit, the play is dead and anything the rig touches or does after that is moot....

Nice test guys.

Looks great, and working fine.

Is this one correct?
http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/a...udgesTest1.jpg

It says i picked the right answer, but the explanation says that 'boundary markers must be touched'.

Der Kampfer 01-20-2011 08:41 AM

fun test. The straddle questions are tricky. I always thought if you straddled a gate that has been cleared without touching it doesnt count as a penalty.

i believe the chalk line is an extension of the boundary marker.

Exactly! In situations where the "marker" itself does not accomplish the task it is intended to a chalk line can be substituted or used along with. The marker can make it harder to deal simply because it can come into contact with the tires before the truck actually reaches a chalk line, or if you roll off of an obstacle you are more likely to hit an upright boundary marker than a chalk line.

If the marker was the only thing used in this situation...in other words there was no chalk line drawn below it the driver could drive his rig under the boundary marker as long as no part of the rig comes into contact with the marker itself.

Hope that helps.

toyofast 01-20-2011 10:08 AM

Boy... I know why I was never allowed to score or judge. Even this test kicked me out. I think I was about 15 questions in and a "502 Bad Gateway" error came up.

I was picking all the answers that would make people hate me as a judge:ror:
