Fault judging–while frequently a topic of conversation in regard to the breed ring, junior showmanship often escapes consideration.

Your friend attended the classes, studied the manuals until he memorized them, studied some more, and asked questions of those with more experience. He asked questions of those who recently advanced through the test taking process. Finally, he nervously took the test and passed with flying colors.
