Attended a local IAABO Refresher Exam study group last night. We had about a dozen guys, some of whom are very good "rules guys". We didn't have an answer sheet. We all agreed on about 80% of the answers that we brought to the group. Another 10% we agreed upon after taking deep dives into the rulebook and casebook.
It was that last 10% that was difficult. Despite taking many deep dives into the rulebook and casebook, we still could not agree on some answers, even with the rule or casebook play in front of us.
Why the disagreement? Not because of the wording of the rule or the casebook play, but because of the poor ambiguous wording of the question.
IAABO should hire some retired SAT or ACT question writers to edit the wording of these questions.
Like bob jenkins said, the good news was that we all learned a lot last night.
