Preparing for the judge certification exam

[Rebel7284]

I will be taking my exam to become a level one judge on august 28th (at neutral grounds after the PTQ). I would like your advice on how to prepare for it. How well am i expected to know the penalty guidelines? the floor rules?  Are there any specific parts of the rulebook that are usually emphasized?  Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I cannot comment on specific portions of the test, as I must maintain its integrity.   Also note that there is more than one test, so specifics are hard to come by anyway.

Just be sure to study the universal tournament rules, the Magic floor rules, the penalty guidelines, and know your game rules.

Just make sure you know about state-based effects. They are just as important as anything else ofcourse, but let's just say they matter.
That's however, what the judge who helped me prepare and guided me through the first tournaments told me.

When you study the UTR, the PG, and the MTG-FR, make sure you know not only the penalties but remedies for various situations.
