The test results are almost meaningless unless you really need that extra power point. And since it is an open book test, if the state had an issue with this, they would tell us. It is pretty common people get most of the answers or wait to submit their test until they have reviewed it. No one here really cares. It has been that way long before I officiated and the NF test was sent to us in the mid-90s. So it is possible this guy wanted the test because like many of us will take the test and look up all the answers and references that fit the test.

Again, some people really need to stick to what happens in their area and get upset if someone is violating some rules where you live. But in this age of the internet, people will get a national publication before their state will give it to them. And unless they are violating those rules, we have no idea what is cheating to their area.

Well said JRut! I agree with your take.
