I know that I haven't written my exam yet, but a month ago, I came across a copy. Since then I've found a rule reference for every single question and came up with my answer from that. I'm only using these answers to check my answers. If I'm wrong, and I was on one, I went and found a different rule reference which better assessed the situation in the question.
I however, am not going to go into the exam with just the answers in my head. I've opened my book, researched the questions. I'm not cheating, I'm studying. [/B][/QUOTE]Ref 18, I'm glad to hear that. I also know that you are sincere in wanting to improve your rules knowledge. You can tell that from your activity in discussions on this web site, both here and on the football forum. I also sincerely hope that the other people requesting the answers show the same dedication that you do. Unfortunately, quite a few of them seemed to have joined just to receive the answers- and maybe they won't be heard from again here until next year's exam rolls around. That's unfortunate. What is also unfortunate is the perception that cheating could possibly now be present- ie.- WCB's posts. Somebody posting the answers on this site today to this year's IAABO refresher test is a good example of that. I know that there are associations out there that use this test as their main exam, and also haven't had their members write it yet. I'm sure that having the answers out in public before everybody has their exam written can't be making the IAABO people too happy either.
Now you know where I'm coming from. Note that I'm trying very hard to keep away from judging
anybody also. I ain't God, and I have a lot of faith too in the integity inherent to sports officials.
Have a good year!
