The fact that you are trying to test my knowledge with an exam, just proves my opinion. Tests do matter...even basic ones that are required by many states. Cheaters hurt their partners, the players and the game. High school athletics is upposed to be about sportsmanship...except for the part about cheating that is.
The vast majority of officials take this test open book, since they can look up the answers, is that cheating?

Many areas don't even take the test in a group, you get your test, take it home, fill in the answers, and either send it in or go to a class and hand it in. Some areas you may not even know the answers after you hand it in.

For the majority of HS officials this is not a test as much as a study guide that covers rule changes, clarifications, and POE.
