The duration of this exercise shall be two hours. Correct answers shall be computed favorably, incorrect answers shall be subtracted from the final score.
    Psycho-technical assessment test: This shall be undertaken at the same time as the examination and all the candidates in the selection shall take this test.  The test determines the profile of the person required to hold a responsible post such as that of a PRE Conformation-Functional Competition Judge.


    A.1 List of those who have passed the first phase:
    The consultant shall publish the list of candidates who have passed the first phase and who shall therefore take part in the second and final phase.  In this case, all approved applicants shall proceed to make the payment for rights to examination as established in these rules and regulations.


    B) Second phase:
    Practical test: The applicants who have passed the first phase must carry out a practical exercise to demonstrate their knowledge about horses. This second phase shall have an approximate duration of one to three days and its objective is to assess the practical effectiveness of the theoretical knowledge that they have previously demonstrated. For this, each applicant shall individually judge several PRE horses of different ages and sexes, while being monitored by active judges.


    Six: Examiners.
    The theoretical test of knowledge and the psycho-technical assessment shall be performed by the Consultant—Deloitte—as well as their correction.  It shall be this same company that informs ANCCE, and those involved, which of the candidates have exceeded the score required to access to the practical test of the selection process.


    Seven: List of those who have passed; presentation of the documents and appointment.


    The final qualification shall the result of the score obtained in the practical phase of the examination. ANCCE shall publish the results obtained by each of the candidates in this phase, with specific mention of those who have earned the title of PRE Conformation-Functional Competition Judge.
    In this regard, those applicants who obtain the highest scores shall be accepted, at most, to cover the total number of places available.


    The new judges must judge three (3) Category A conformation competitions during their practice phase; their scores being compared with those of senior judges and analyzed by the Competition Follow-up Commission. In no case shall these scores affect the results of a competition.


    Having carried out these practices, the candidates shall go on to be official judges, those that the commission deems opportune may judge in 2012 depending on their capacity. Those judges who are not resident in Spain may judge on their own continent, apart from in Spain. The Spaniards may judge at any location, and all, within their category.
