Your on court test will be FH and BH cross court with slice and topspin, volleys, overheads, serves with each type of spin, drop shot and lobs. All must be hit within designated area, can't remember if 6 of 10 is P1 designation but if one component is low scoring than your whole stroke production is at that level. Meaning when I tested I was one slice backhand from P1 in all categories but was rated P2. Written test is 100 point on history of tennis, and teaching components, did you order the study manual? Then you will have a private lesson, and group lesson on court evaluation. Hope this helps and makes sense.

It sure does. Thanks a lot! Is it really only 6 of 10 for p1? Seems kinda easy... if you have an atp you can skip the "on court" test right?

?? its not that easy. it all depends who you are hitting against.

well there is a depth line for the shots, few feet past the service line I think can't remember, not sure for ATP players but I know of former tour players not getting P1, and it's nerve racking when you know you can't miss, although they do give a couple of warm up shots.

yes.

yep, trust me I have excellent form also and all that matters is proper spin, and placement, you can actually serve 50mph and if its slice and goes in it's ok. Myself and another proactually bombed our one flat serve chance, looking back stupid if missed but tester knew we had to do it. I will look for my guide and see what the actual numbers need to be.
