Certification Tests
In order to be on our certified judge’s list, we require you take a short test to ensure you have read our rulebook. There are some key differences and principles that make our 4-H shows unique and we want to ensure our judge’s have taken the time to familiarize themselves with those things. This test is open book. Please use the rulebook as a guide!

Rule BooksJudges can take the test any time. You are allowed to refer to the rulebook during the test, but the test will be timed. Judges have 3 attempts to get the required score.
After a judge has passed the test, they will receive a form via e-mail to submit with their information that will appear on the judge list. Once the form is complete, certified judges will be added to the list.
