Doing full practice tests would be tough because practice tests would require an extensive pool of questions, and those questions would have to mirror the expected difficulty of the actual exam. But only a handful of questions make their way from the update quizzes to the exams each season &#8211; it\u2019s much more likely for questions to make their way to the practice quizzes, to which every judge has access. And it\u2019s not easy to create a new exam that mirrors the difficulty of another exam, especially because it\u2019ll be taken under different circumstances, all with a smaller sample size than the Judge Program had, and entirely designed by volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then I had an idea: we already know the difficulty of the questions in the pool, so why don\u2019t we just pull a small slice from there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s in a Preparation Test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparation Tests (or \u201cPrep Tests\u201d when I don\u2019t want spellcheck reminding me that there\u2019s only one e in \u201cpreparation\u201d) are, essentially, a sample of the exam a judge is about to take.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Prep Test has exactly five questions, and is associated with an advancement exam. All five of these questions were selected from the exam itself, and are about as difficult as the exam. Almost every question I selected has a success rate of the exam\u2019s passing score, \u00b110%, which is the same success rate we target for each question on the exam. Almost all these questions have had at least fifteen candidates see them on an exam, so they\u2019ve been refined and revised by feedback. In short, they\u2019re five of the best questions on that exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, at least, they used to be. Questions moved to the Prep Test will no longer appear on their respective exams. That\u2019s why each Prep Test is only five questions, and there\u2019s only one attempt per person, for now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prep Tests are unscored &#8211; while you\u2019ll learn what you got right and wrong, the \u201cpassing score\u201d is 0%. That\u2019s because Prep Tests are designed as a tool to help candidates evaluate how difficult the exam will be, not to act as a gate telling the proctor that they\u2019re ready to test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-80651c4a wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.judgefoundry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brandon-1024x683.jpg ,https:\/\/www.judgefoundry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brandon.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.judgefoundry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brandon.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.judgefoundry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brandon-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Brandon sorts decklists at Pro Tour Los Angeles in 2024.

Photo \u00a9 John Brian McCarthy<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Preparation Tests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your mentor who\u2019s helping you prepare for the exam can generate you a Prep Test. Because it\u2019s a self-diagnosis tool, the test is unproctored, and can be taken online. My recommendation is to treat the Prep Test just like you would the exam, though, and to take the test closed-book\u2026 all these questions come from our real exams, which means that if you\u2019re having to look up the answers, you\u2019re probably not ready for the exam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you take a Prep Test, you can go over the contents with your mentor, though, as with all our exams, please don\u2019t share it online. I tried to include a variety of topics on each prep test, but five questions can\u2019t cover everything an exam might throw at you, so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.judgefoundry.org\/fr\/learn-more\/exam-study-guides\/\">check the Study Guide for your exam<\/a> to see on what else you might be tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prep tests have a different role than practice quizzes. Practice quizzes are a great way to quickly test your knowledge (or learn something new!). The pool of practice quizzes grows with every update quiz, and they often include set-specific mechanics. They&#8217;re also a great way for judges who miss an update quiz to learn something. Prep tests are a tool to evaluate whether you&#8217;re ready to take your next exam to level up. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/exams\/\">generate yourself a practice quiz<\/a> right now, but you&#8217;ll need your mentor to generate a Prep Test for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prep Tests aren\u2019t currently required. I say \u201ccurrently\u201d because it\u2019s probable that we\u2019ll include these in our next levels tune-up, coming very soon. Joe and I have talked a bit about what we\u2019ll require, and it will likely be a requirement to take a Prep Test, but not a requirement to pass one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go Forth and Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparation Tests are available right now for the L1 Rules and Policy, L2 Rules, L2 Policy, and L3 Policy exams, so if you\u2019re working with a candidate, you can generate a test right now. If you\u2019re working with a mentor, you can ask them to generate a Prep Test for you when you and they agree you\u2019re about ready for the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you have suggestions about how to make our exams better, or any part of Judge Foundry better, say something, like Dan did! Email the appropriate project lead or <a href=\"mailto:board@judgefoundry.org\">email the board<\/a>, or post to the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/forum\/14305\/\">Feedback Forum on JudgeApps<\/a>, or just talk to us at events. And even if we can\u2019t implement the specific solution you\u2019re suggesting, it\u2019s helpful to hear our members articulate a problem so we can look at what we can do about it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve got a brand new type of test to help you evaluate whether you&#8217;re ready to take your advancement exam.
