Level 2 ( J / K / L ) Pre-Certification Test

The NAR requires modelers wishing to become certified to use rocket motors in the J through L classes to take a brief written examination. The purpose of the test is to demonstrate knowledge of the regulations and laws pertaining to high power rocketry. Questions concerning basic rocket technical knowledge, e.g., center of pressure and center of gravity relationships, will also be included.

The examination consists of 33 questions in multiple choice format, chosen from a pool of 50-100 questions and answers. The passing grade is 88%. The test may be taken only once in a 30-day period, and must be completed prior to the flight requirement. (You still must take your written test, remember, this is just a study guide)

Section C:  Range and Safety Practices - 15 questions taken from a pool of 38
