1. I've been reading a downloaded copy of NFHS basketball rules. Do you think this is enough to help me pass the exam ?
2. Is the IAABO test the same as NFHS or is it different rules ?
3. Has anyone ever passed the test without taking the class ?
4. Do you recommend any other reading material or videos I can view to help me out ?
5. Does anyone have a IAABO book available for purchase or can i buy one from somewhere ?
I'm a very fast learner with a flexible schedule.
please let me know

I'll heavily suggest not officiating unless it is and will be your sole source of income. The negatives outweigh the positives unless....you are making tons of money. I presume that everyone else will disagree with me.
Again, I suggest forgetting all about it. Consider doing something that is simply.....better.
