Looks to be a typo. It should say "tributing". Thank you for pointing it out.

Hi, I took the exam and it says I scored 91%, but then it says 13/20. That doesn't make sense to me. Is there a mistake?

The percentage is based on your score "X/80" where "X" is the number of correct answers you marked + the number of incorrect answers you did not mark.
The "Y/20" score is the number of questions where you correctly marked all right answers and also did not mark any incorrect answers.

Oh, thanks! However, I'm unclear about what that means regarding my chances of being a judge. Which of the 2 scores matters the most? does my high (91) percentage mean I'll be contacted or does my low (13/20) score mean I won't?

There should be an exception to people who "technically" didn't take it. And if proof is necessary then it should be possible to check the user's progress on how far they've gotten.

i think u should be able to retake the exam if u got more than 80%. just because u might have misread some of the cards, or cases, which let to an incorrect answer...or u should be able to retake it once every month.Because if u scrwed up once, u will never be able to retake it, even though u might inprove ur knowledge of the game.Even the real Judge exam can be retaken thousands of times....so why not on a site like DB?

The biggest problem withthis exam is TIME. The movement between questions is very slow (it takes minutes just to go from page 20 back to page 1). The exam froze for a few minutes right at the beginning and also when trying to move to a previous question too quickly and when trying to open a second tab. 60 min for 80 questions is too low if you wanted to double check something or look it up online. Its a test of time efficiency rather than knowledge. Otherwise good test, the questions covered most aspects of the game.

I was waiting for this exam for too long and ultimately stopped playing for a few months because of an internship I'm currently having at an institute abroad.
So obviously I took this test as soon as my friend told me it's out (today), knowing that I've probably forgot many of the rulings and I was too impatient to give it a few days to remind myself a bit lol
But nevertheless I got exactly 90% (15/20). Does that mean that I'll be contacted to be a judge? Because they said that my score needs to be ''impressive'', and I'm certain that the score I've gotten today cannot really be considered ''impressive'' by any standard... But still, it's considered that I've passed the test, so I'm not sure

Passing this exam doesn't mean that you will be contacted to be a judge. The judge exam is a litmus test to see if you know enough rulings to give proper judgement in ruling disputes. If you passed the exam but have a history of noncompliance, then you probably won't be contacted to be a judge.

Isnt there any way to retake the exam?
I do think that I have gotten a lot better with rulings since I have taken the exam several months before but I have no way to proof it for myself and maybe even become a judge here on DB

Wait until DB Judge Exam 2.0, since you took 1.0 knowing you can only take it once, that falls on you for not "learning more" first!
