I'm guessing he mistook SILVER for Slivers.

There have been some changes recently to the requirements for L1. Since Local Judges (L1) are not necessarily going to be judging Competitive REL, there is no longer a requirement to know the MIPG.

Here are the new details on the exam:
The L1 written exam is now
a 25-question exam, with 18 questions about the CR and 7 questions
pertaining to other docs (specifically the JAR, MTR sections 2 and 10,
Appendix B, and sideboarding regulations for all formats).

You still have to score a 70% to pass, which means you can miss 7.

When it comes to taking the test, it is very important to remember that the rules section of the exam does not test your ability to reach the correct result to the scenario. It tests your ability to reach the correct reason. There will very often be two answers with the correct result, but only one will have the correct reason. A lot of candidates will snap-pick the first answer that gets to the correct result not realizing the reason is slightly incorrect. Read the answers carefully and make sure you have the correct result and reason.

Thanks for the heads up on what they're asking for; I'll definitely read through each answer thoroughly. I imagine I would've gotten one or two wrong based on the same snap-pick problem. I'll be sure to study the sections you pointed out for the 'other docs'.

You mention it's a 25-question exam, and that it's written. Is it all multiple choice, or is it short-answer?

Here's a pretty good article on layers.

The level 1 exam is only going to ask me questions on enforcement of rules at regular REL? Seems a bit counter-intuitive... I'm really only going to be judging PTQ's and GPT's and the like, and those are always competitive REL's.

L2 Judge reporting here
If you want to study, I recommand reading once through the Comprehensive Rules. Then, understand real well the following concepts, which happen all the time (Not really an exhaustive list, but that should get you started!)
- Casting a spell (How it's done, steps?)
- The layers
- The structure of the turn (What are the steps, what happen, what are their names).
- Ordering stuff (Choices that are done in APNAP, or choices that are done simultaneously).
- Keywords, read the end section about those, you lose points easily on old keywords, if you didn't play at the time.
- Study well, ask to take your test when you're relaxed and rested.

The other documents should be read once (Floor Rules, Invitation policy etc...) but it's not the big emphasis for L1 tests. The elements are kinda obvious, but they're important if you have to make a ruling.

Good luck!

Gatekeeper of Malakir is the best 3 drop in standard.

Yes, he is a 3 mana creature, why would you ever cast him unkicked?
