The PAT as everyone calls it. Several items, including real-world are used, and a percentage value is used.
Because this test is designed to be flexible, it will have items that can’t be tested depending on the location of the handler.
In that event, those items are skipped and the score is adjusted.
Example. Say every item totaled 500 points, and the passing grade is 83%. If 100 points of that could not be tested, the handler would have to get 83% of the 400 that were tested. There will need to be a minium set of points say 30% of the full test has to be done. And a list of required items that can not be skipped. This it to enable a person to adjust the test if items are not available, but should not be abused to skip an item known to be a problem for the dog. i.e. elevators, beach, airport. Industry wise this will be the hardest, most comprehensive PAT.
