• In order to pass you must answer 48 out of 60 questions to pass.
• If you do not pass, the exam can be administered twice in one day at the proctors availability.
• The test is administered online (and thus requires basic computer knowledge); no paper or pencils are necessary.
• Upon passing the library proctor will issue a validation sticker which will be placed on the back of the Type 600 Permit.

If cheating is suspected or seen the test will be stopped and you may not return for 14 days to re-take the exam and your name will be reported to TWRA to discipline at their discretion.
