Goal scoring test:

In this test the player starts by rolling the ball into the 'D' to the forehand side and hits the ball at goal.
The next ball is pushed to the left and hit with the reverse stick side only, then the next ball to the right, etc.

Pushing test:

In this test the player has to aim the ball at the target, either dragging, slapping or pushing the ball.

Hitting test:

The player is required to hit the ball across the width of the pitch at the target.

There are two options on how to hit:

either put the ball on the side line and hit a static ball
move the ball off the spot and hit a rolling ball.

(If the player chooses the second option, the ball has to be hit in front of the two metre line).
