Some good questions. I'm probably not going to be too hard with the questions unless I give them multiple choice answers. I always hated tests that were fill in the blank, essay, and those types of questions.

I have turned down holo grinders.......I usually ask questions that aare open ended and they fall for it. "OH IM ONLY DOING THIS FOR JEDI, RANGER SUCKS". Oppps today is your unlucky day.../ignore!! Call it BS, but even before these I started seeing all the posts in these forums I felt we were proud group! I stay with this profession because of these reasons!
My question!
How many days have you stayed out of a major city? No right or wrong!!
I have been out for a week and finally went in because the disease had me pissed!! Oh I have no med skills!!

hehe... I know what you mean. People start wondering where I am at times. About the only times i show up in any town are: 1) Battlefatigue too much, 2) need to dump off items due to lack of backpack space, and 3) a friend wants me to meet them somewhere.

if i asked a question before training it would be along the lines of "do you plan to keep master ranger untill the ranger revamp,"
trivia, imvho, is stupid. i have played a ranger since near launch (played a musican in beta & started there when the game whet live, but swaped over to ranger/rifleman in the first few weeks) but could not answer half the questions posed so far.
does that mean i should not be a ranger?
no, it means that what it means to be a ranger is a dedication to keeping & playingthe proffesion. i may not be an "uber" resource grinder, or recall the name of some animal on some random planet, but i am a ranger.
being a ranger is about dedication to the proffesion, not about trivia.

Ive asked people when they send me a /tell to train them in Master Ranger... I tell them
"Im in the Jundland Wastes, if you can track me, I will train you"

I like the idea of telling a player they need to go get some resource from a tough creature to find, maybe craft a htfb, craft a stack of our highest trap, and provide the coordinates for an oasis in tatooine before training them in master ranger. basically, the trap and the HTFB would be like "the written exam" and the tracking and harvesting of an uncommon or rare spawn and finding one of the oasis' would be the "field test".
Now if only we could get an item made that looks like the free shuttle pass you get for completeing the noob missons from the green beginner droids (they look like actual diplomas)

What do all the traps do? (no hologrinder would get 100% on this, no way...) (*discalimer, I am including scout traps...it actually MAY be easy to name the effects of the TWO Ranger traps, lol)
An interesting "lesson" would be the history of Ranger.
For example, the maskscent era. How many people know it's ups and downs. That it used to give way more XP, then for a while they took XP away. For a while it had NO reapply timer. (sweet) For a few weeks it was UNBREAKABLE at master.
How many know that there was a former component to Camo that is no longer required?
How many know the only way, at one time, to get wilderness XP was to set up a camp and sit there.
Can anyone add to the history?

Hi, I like the idea of a test more then the idea of a trivia ashobnail has written becuase the same reasons ...and because I only could answer 5-6 of Nemo0's ones by heart 
By the way, I believe I am a too much nice Bothan. I always answer tells and give them the wp I am. Although I think I am goingto say "track me I am NW of Citypolis" from now on.

They are not dumb questions. Many people has not seen the oasis in Tatooine and would swear that there is not.

This is a cool idea. I like to RP. I have to admit that when someone asks me for money I make them RP. I ask them only if they are scout or ranger. If they are, then I make them RP for it or give me some peace of knowledge. Only one person said no forget it, and walked off. The others thought it was cool, but I still only give out a max of 1000cr. If they are a true noob, that's a ton of money.
I hate grinders that didn't really learn the profession no matter what it is. A friend dualed a TKM with his TKM. The other guy only spammed unarmmed hit 3. So my friend just used headhhit 1 and took the guy out fast. He asked "so what was that you were using?"
I like the list of questions someone posted farther up. I have to admit, I can not answer every one right off the bat. Some I thought of are similar, like are there any bodies of water on Tat, and where are they, what are they?
What meat type do Nuna give?
Where can you go to talk with Jawas?
Love the crafting stations in the HTFB one.
What are the best two traps to use, and where do you get them?
What animal is gaurenteed to break your camo or mask scent, and what planet is it on?
What types of resources are needed for scout/ranger crafting of all types?
How do you get the Polished Krayt Skull?
Are only agro animals social?
Name 3 types of animals that are not agro, that are social.
Can you track while in a cave?
