The online exam system for NROI-certified officials is now up and running.
If you've been expired for six months or less you will be able to log in to
the member lookup at www.uspsa.org to take the exam online. Here are some general guidelines on how this will work:
1) Membership must be current to access this feature.
2) Members will get instant results once an exam is submitted for scoring.
No more waiting for the mail to find out if you passed!
3) Exams can be started, saved, and completed at a later time. If you don't
get it all done in one sitting, no worries, the system will save your
progress and allow you to go back to finish later.
4) If you have difficulty with an exam, or a question about your results, we
will be able to log in and see exactly what you're seeing.
5) Officials will have three (3) chances to pass the exam. This should be
more than adequate. If you find that you are unable to pass the exam within
three tries, we will be happy to hook you up with an instructor for some
remedial training. We want to help you succeed!
6) Exams can be printed so you'll have a copy for your records, if you so
desire.
7) Members will need their PIN to access the exam from the member look up
page. The PIN is a 7 digit number which may be found on your Front Sight
mailing label. Each issue of Front Sight will contain a new PIN, and the
pins on your two most recent issues of Front Sight will be accepted by the
system.
(It's generally much easier to remember a password you chose than to remember a 7 digit number which changes every time a new Front Sight comes out. You may use your PIN to configure a personal access password which will not change with each issue of Front Sight. You may use your personal password, or the PIN from your most recent copy of Front Sight magazine to change your password at any time. Please follow this link to go to the page that will allow you to set a personal password.)
8) If you have been expired for more than six months, please email us at nroi@uspsa.org and we'll send you a long version of the exam as per NROI policy. Officials expired for more than a year will be required to take the course again. Please see this page for all of our recertification policies.
9) Once you successfully pass the exam, NROI HQ will be notified and will send out your new packet confirming recertification. You will NOT need to call HQ to inform us that you passed or failed. However, persons who pass their exam will not see their updated certification reflected on the classification page until after the next monthly update, starting with the November 2008 update.
10) We will be changing from quarterly exams to monthly. This means that once a month we will add exams for anyone set to expire the next month. For example, if you are due to expire in November, the exam will be added to
your classification page in October.
That's it! Thanks so much for all your patience with us during this process.
Great Idea ! I tried to print it. I hit the print button, the printer started. So I closed out of the exam. The printer malfunctioned and now the exam is gone. Is there away to get the page back? Next when the I.D. page updated my certification that I passed was gone. I'm currently certified as cro/mg. Will I get a card for cro/mg or another card just for mg. I have a current card for cro. even though is not on the web site

When grading exams you will need to make clear that answers that require using appendixes as answers, that the actual word appendix must NOT be used in the answer, as it will be graded as incorrect. Just use the appropriate letters of the appendix to be graded correctly. Thanks for your time, G.W.

I had a problem with one answer. The correct response was 1.1.5.4
I put 1.1,5.4 Be sure to proof the answer, the comma caused it to show wrong. I still scored 95 on the test.
