What is the maximum USPCA points for the PD1 test?

• A. 640 points
• B. 512 points
• C. 700 points
• D. 520 points

Answer: (A)

The PD1 test uses a fixed total scoring system where every required task adds up to a single ceiling. Each part—whether obedience, search, or other standard tasks—has its own maximum points, and when you add up the best possible scores in all parts, you reach the overall maximum. For the PD1 rubric, that total ceiling is 640 points, so achieving the top score means earning the maximum in every component. The other numbers listed aren’t the full test total; they would only reflect partial or different scales, not the complete PD1 maximum.
