An easier snowboard test is to tell someone to turn around and tell them you are going to give them a push. Give them a shove to the upper back and see which foot they put forward first to brace.

That is an old myth that doesn't work very well.
Source: I've been a level 3 snowboard instructor in Canada for 10+ years. There are only 4 levels.
It also doesn't work if you're with a group of students because it won't be a surprise after everyone sees you do it to the first student. If you have a "slide on snow" competition but don't say why, you can watch everyone and what foot is forward before you tell them what is going on.
