Hey everyone! It’s my first discussion! Let me come straight to my point. I just now gave a test of NAB and I failed it. I just laughed when I saw the result! I read everything that was told still I don’t got that! Any ideas or tips? And yes How many answers should be correct to pass it.

I heard that you can only get three wrong to pass, but that doesn’t mean you have to get three wrong - it would be better if you got all questions correct. You have to study each policy carefully and as many times as you can: http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:Merge-Policy http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:Title-Policy http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:External-Links Then you can try editing new articles or articles that need cleaning up. Leave messages to the authors about their article. Check for duplicates, suggest title changes if needed, and make edits that other boosters would make. http://www.wikihow.com/Special:NewPages http://www.wikihow.com/Category:Cleanup You can also ask boosters for help, too.

I feel the need to say this to all aspiring boosters. We could definitely use more hands to help tackle the NAB backlog. That being said, boosting takes a large amount of dedication, skill, and self-motivation. I’ve seen quite a bit of people take the test only for the badge and recognition of being a booster, or boost a couple of articles and give up after realizing how difficult it is. I’m not one to question your motives for wanting to become a booster, but if you’re taking the NAB test, just make sure you’re going in with the right intentions.

Thanks for your interest in helping drive down the NAB backlog, @RG-Dhruv-Parikh :slight_smile:My advice would be to study the policies thoroughly, do real-world merges from http://www.wikihow.com/Category:Merge , practice editing jobs (mainly from the Copyedit, Format and Stub greenhouses on our Community Dashboard) and let any of us know if you need any tips. We’d all be happy to help! Once you’ve got a good-enough handle on the policies, I have a practice quiz for you to take if you’re interested and have an email account: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h5iV66c4WQolt_thWD2JVdrj60cawdVcoiCq2CICA-w/mobilebasic?pli=1 Then you can try again if you have waited at least the full two weeks you will have to wait. As for the passing score, I believe that it’s at least 85%.

Thanks for the practice quiz I will try it, Adelaide. Hailey Girges thanks for that and helping me out I’ll do that soon and I am really willing to be an article booster with GOOD intensions. So thanks all of you.
