Exam season will be upon us soon. I figure we can start preparing by testing ourselves - crossfit style. We'll try to hit some benchmarks from the Crossfit Seattle chart here:

This will also help set a baseline for tracking future progress.
Warmup: Joint mobility, special emphasis on wrist flexibility and strength.
Skill: Snatch balance or overhead squat, depending on your comfort level with overhead weight: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
EXAM TIME:
Try to hit the next benchmark up from whatever skill level you think you're at (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Elite) from the chart above; choose one exercise from each of the following categories (I'll bring a copy of the chart to the gym):
PUSH
PULL
HIPS
CORE
WORK
SPEED
If you choose a max lift, take the best of 5 attempts.
Stretch 10 min.
We went for 200 24kg dumbbell snatches in 10 minutes. I got to 110@55lbs. Kudos to Zach and Sean for knocking out 120 each.
