Just download and become familiar with it.
This last part is really the most important if you are already familiar with the Pathfinder rules. Be prepared that none of your players know the specific rules for Pathfinder Society. If you feel like you need more advice on how to do this, feel free to ask questions here, or else try to play a few PFS games that someone else is running first.

I have only played pathfinder for a couple of weeks. Before that it was 3.5 and before that well you guys know the story.. Thirty years later most of my companions have re -prioritized their lives or died. So I have to settle for four hour scenarios once a week that sometimes remind me of get the cheese.......

I'm not trying to be rude, but that's not the best attitude to bring to the table as a GM.
Plus sometimes you get to make quesadillas from the cheese.

What Sven said.
Also, be forewarned, knowing 3.5 is sometimes a detriment for GMing Pathfinder. The rules *have* changed, and things are not all the same, especially minor things. Knowing 3.5 (in my experience) is just as much a hindrance as it is helpful).

I used the same RPGA number for playing and judging for almost 10 years. Did they change that at some point after LFR came out?Not that I know of. I was referring to the "DM Test".
Said DM Test for the RPGA doesn't exist any longer. For that matter, LFR no longer requires you to have an RPGA / DCI number to order an adventure, or to play or GM in it. Effectively, the RPGA as a separate entity has ceased to exist; it's now part of WotC D&D Organized Play, and the RPGA acronym isn't even used any longer.

Indeed. I've resigned myself to, at least once per PFS adventure, stumbling across some little rules item which I'm used to approaching a certain way (from playing and DMing 3E/3.5 for 12 years), and having it pointed out to me that it works differently in Pathfinder. :-D

Do you have to appear at any con's or social meetings to GM or can it be strictly from your home if you want?you can GM from your home if you want ... for me some of the fun is GMing at conventions and gamedays plus it keeps me a little social
The only thing that you would be unable to do from home as a PFS GM would be to keep a 5-star rating (p39 PFS Guide). Apart from that, you can GM at home or online just fine.

Thanks for the help. I have one more question. When you have a high fame score what exactly can be bought with it? For example if the player had 22 Fame & the maximum item cost is 8,000gp, what exactly can It get within that range?
Anything not available via the 'Always Available Items' section starting on p24. In essence, you can only source expensive items if you are famous enough for your faction contacts to track them down for you.

Any item in a Paizo sourcebook that's legal for play according to Additional Resources and whose full normal market price is up to 8000 gp. If it's over 3000 gp, he can only buy it in a settlement of at least 5000 inhabitants or at the end of a scenario. He can buy something Always Available or on one of his chronicle sheets however much it costs.

How does one become a Game Master for organized play? I used to ref 3.5 and all the other D+D versions etc... But sense there are some stipulations to reffing this system..?You have to like gnomes and treat all gnome PCs with the utmost respect and reverence.
This is not a joke!
I think I have to stop GMing, stupid gnomes... lol

Not at all. Just remember that the only respect a gnome deserves is to be properly entombed.
