Some pointers

Since I have taken a few of these, I can comment on what to expect. BTW, our board is testing tonight.

First, know your rule changes. IAABO always asks questions based upon the new rule changes. So there are 5 or so gimmies.

Secondly, if you look for some key wording, the test can become easier to decipher. For instance, if the word torso appears in the question at any time and involves contact, you are pretty safe in assuming "legal guarding position" has been, or was established.

Thirdly, know your correctable error situations.

Fourthly, know your player control foul situations especially those involving the airborne shooter.

Fiftly, study the basket interference vs goal tending plays. The question might be right, but they may be calling it basket interference instead of goal tending.

As others have said, study the case book, especially the sections on correctable errors.

Ohh, know your situations with violations while attempting foul shots too.


Now, did I leave anything out? In other words, STUDY that casebook. I think you will be surprised at the number of questions that are taken from the casebook. Not word for word, but situation for situation.

And good luck!
