Testing for 2011-2012
Every Official needs to complete the online test prior to officiating games this season.  It is 100 questions in length and allows you to reference the rules while you are taking the test.  Who does not like an open book test?  The process is easy.

1.  Click on this link:  http://www.taso.org/

2.  Click on MEMBERS LOG IN on the left hand side

3.  In the User field type your TASO member number (the six digit number on your TASO card)

4.  In the Password field, type your password.  If you are new to TASO this year, you should have received your password
     in an email.  If you forgot your password, click on the "Locked Out?" link under MEMBERS LOG IN area on the left hand
     side, and then click on "I forgot my password" on the next screen.  This will generate an email where you can request your 
     password.  It will take a couple of days for you to recieve your password.

5.  Under the MY TASO LINKS on the right hand side, click on "2010-2011 TASO Soccer Test"

6.  Answer all of the questions and click on "SUBMIT" at the bottom of the page on the right hand side.  If you can not complete
     the 100 questions all at once, you can click on "finish later" at the bottom of the page and will save your answers for you to
     complete the test in a later session.

7.  Once you click "SUBMIT" the system will grade your test and show you which questions you answered correctly and
      incorrectly.  Go back and review any missed questions and research the correct information.
