I'm having a lot of trouble figuring this out. Every time I use the following command "/testfor @p[score_OBJECTIVE=12]", it NEVER WORKS! After countless searches on youtube and google, I keep getting the same answer, which is to do EXACTLY as I wrote up there. All of the tutorials and answers say "type in '/testfor @p[score_OBJECTIVE=#]'". Yet when I do the exact same thing, it doesn't work. Can somebody PLEASE tell me how to use this command properly?
Notice how TEST has a score of zero.
Here is the command that I put into the command block.
When I press the button, it still turns on the comparitor, even though my score is STILL ZERO! It should be testing for a score of 3, but it turns on regardless!
Further proof that a wizard is needed to use this command.
If anybody can help me at all, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
P.S: I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong section; I figured that this is a redstone issue, so I posted here.
By the looks of it, my issue has been resolved. It turns out that there has been a misinformation between myself and my source(s) of information on the /testfor command. Thank you to all the people who have helped me!
Remember that the name used for the scoreboard objective is case sensitive, so be sure you input the technical name correctly. What I mean is, you want the name you put here:
/scoreboard objectives add <TechnicalName> <ScoreType> <DisplayName>
Be sure to use that one when running a testfor, and keep in mind it is case-sensitive.

The problem with the truth, is that it never lies.
Here is the command that I put into the command block.
The parameter "score_NAME=3" is looking for is anybody with a MAXIMUM score of 3. Meaning 0, 1, 2, and 3 all match that parameter. However, if you include "score_NAME_min=3" with the max, it will match ONLY the number 3. So, for example, this:

/testfor @p[score_TEST=3,score_TEST_min=3]
will test for a player with a score of 3 exactly.
I see. I always thought that when I put /testfor @p[score_OBJECTIVE=3], I thought that it was specific to that number. But now I see that I have to be more specific and that my whole life has been a lie. Thanks for the help!

Yes, I am ALWAYS sure that I matched up the names correctly. Thank you for your help though!

I kind of have the same problem, but different, im trying to make a pvp arena so when a player gets to 5 kills, the match is over but i cant figure out how to use /testfor correctly:
i have a command block being updated by a clock and a comparater coming out the other side on normal mode. in the command block is:
/testfor @p [score_Kills_min=5]
how can i make it so when someone (out of two people) gets to five points the redstone activates, im clueless when it comes to command blocks, please help, i dont know what im doing wrong
You cannot have a space between the player selector (@p) and the parameters (square brackets). The correction is:
What is the exact command you're using? Copy/paste it directly from the command block. Are you running any mods or Bukkit? The "Kills" objective exists, and there is a player with 5 or more kills?
I'm making a call of duty Minecraft arena and I'm trying to make it so that when you get 25 kills it ends I'm using the crafting dead mod pack through the technic launcher maybe that May have something to do with it. I write the command /testfor @p[score_Kills_min=25] and yes I have set up the objective and everything correctly it just isn't outputting any power through the comparator no matter what I do, I just don't know why :/

Mods can severely interfere with how command blocks and commands operate. Unfortunately I cannot help you if you have to use mods.
I looked up a video and found a command that worked Im sure that this mod pack doesn't interfere with command blocks I just need to know how to reset a specific objective

It do sent matter I worked it out but how do you set it so that when someone reaches an amount of kills on a server it says that that person has own even though there are lots of people on the server because @p does nearest @a does everyone and @r does random so I can't figure it out

I have a problem. I have everything in the command block correctly: /testfor @p[score_Kills_min=3]
but the comparator has no output whatsoever. The command block says in the output field: That player cannot be found
Any help I can get. I'm testing it with a button. The objective exists. I have no idea what the problem is.

Live life as happily as you can and ensure that both you and everyone that you encounter enjoy all and have a positive outlook. It's not like we have any other reason for being here...

Emm I have never actually used command blocks xD, but based on what Skylinerw said, maybe try:
/testfor @p[score_Kills=3,score_Kills_min=3]
This should test for exactly a score of 25.
If that doesn't work, try switching out @p for @a and see what happens.
Edit: Oh yah, and if all else fails, try putting your exact username in place for the selector.
But using Usernames may ONLY test for THAT player. I used the command with "/testfor @p[score_Objective=1,score_Objective_min=1]" for my PvP Map I am creating for the Kit System, and it's working as normal. Remember that the Output may be wrong sometimes, as it said that Player Not Found, while it gave signal, and everything worked properly.
Off Topic: About the map, it will take a lot of time to create. I am working on it actually.
I think this is a bug in the 14w07a snapshot, i'm encountering the exact same issue. Anything that includes "score_NAME_min" will cause an invalid UUID error.
