Let's shoot this classic from Ken Hackathorn!
The most essential version of The Test is to start with the gun in a ready position, with a B8 bullseye at 10 yards, and the par time set to 10 seconds. At the start signal, shoot 10 rounds to the B8 under the time limit. Scoring is handled different ways depending on the context, but for our DotW, let's make the goal to get all rounds in the black of the B8 (which is the 9-ring or better.) Let's use a .3 second grace period with the par time so that the shooter can react and stop shooting if time runs out (set the par to 10 seconds, but only shots over 10.3 seconds are overtime shots that count as misses.)
You pass if you get all ten rounds in the black of the B8 under the time limit.
There are harder variations too - feel free to shoot any/all of them/work your way up/etc. - just note which way you shot it when you report your results.
If you can keep them all in the black under the time limit starting from ready, try drawing from the holster.
If you can keep them all in the black under the time limit drawing from the holster, try drawing from the concealed holster.
If you can keep them all in the black under the time limit drawing from the concealed holster, try going back to starting from ready, but shooting it strong hand only, or keeping all rounds in the 10-ring or better, etc.
Those are just some suggestions - there are lots of possibilities to make something harder while still firing 10 rounds at 10 yards under 10 seconds - just note what you did when your report your results.
