General Information - Certifying RefugeRat RatTests™

The purpose of these tests is to assess your knowledge regarding waterfowling, and possibly introduce some ideas to you that you might not have considered already.

These separate tests consist of ten questions each that cover topics such as waterfowl, shooting, calling, decoys, field etiquette, weather, habitat, camouflage, and general waterfowling related knowledge. The question types range from true / false, multiple choice, and matching. Some questions also include situational scenarios.

Each question is worth ten points for a total maximum score of 100 points for each test. A passing score is 50% or greater.

For each individual test, if your score falls within the following ranges below, then you are considered:

90 to 100 - MasterRat™

80 to 90 - SeniorRat™

70 to 80 - JuniorRat™

Some of the answers to the questions will be straightforward and objective. Others may be more subjective, depending on your hunting style, experiences, and location.

If you have feedback about the tests or questions, or suggestions for additional questions, then please drop us a note.     This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Thanks, good luck, and have fun.

so was this a 100% 10 out of 10.???
and what is the 50% at the bottom.?
also the time on the test seems too long, I think it was
more like min and half...

Score 100/80
written by RatStaff, June 01, 2009

RatTests
Yep,

Tests are 10 questions in length, so 10/10 is 100%.

Both 80/100 and 100/100 are good scores. Great job to both of you.

50% is the minimum passing score...

Not sure about the time issue. Faster internet connections will have faster test times.

On that question, it requires you to pair up three sets of answers.

Thanks for the feedback.

Later,
