I don't know the live fire test protocol for Springfield.
The Moon Island test (Brookline and formerly Boston) is below. I forget where I sourced the description from, so I can't offer attribution.
Applicants for a License to Carry (and renewal) must have some prior experience with a handgun. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate safe handling and familiarity with a .38 caliber, 4-inch barrel revolver. The range personnel are examiners only; they are NOT instructors of civilian applicants.
The applicant will fire a total of 30 rounds at a modified 25-yard bullseye target with 10, 9 and 8 rings. Each round has a value of 10 points. A perfect score would be 300. (30 hits inside the 10 ring.) A hit inside the 9 ring is 9 points. A hit in the 8 ring is 8 points. Any hits outside of the 8 ring are counted as zero points. A minimum of 210 points (70% of 300 points) is required to pass the Range Test. Any applicant may be disqualified for not handling the revolver safely.
Applicants will fire the first 12 rounds from the seven-yard line, double action, with a one-hand hold. The remaining 18 rounds will be fired from the fifteen yard line, either single or double action, with either a one or two hand hold. The choice is made by the applicant.
The course of fire is not that difficult. Within reason, there is no time limit placed on the applicant. The emphasis is on safety. The revolver must be pointed down range at all times. Failure to pass the range test will result in being disqualified and the firearm application to be disapproved.
We can see, that contains a "minimum standard." It seems pretty "objective." It's also kind of arbitrary, but it's shown to be a bit of a lift to convince the 1st Circuit to strike it. There's been conversation of attacking it on grounds of being discriminatory against certain people with disabilities, but I don't think that's actually gone anywhere yet. None of us are getting younger, so it can't hurt to start climbing that hill today.
