You can only speak for yourself.

If you want to disparage an entire state, call an attorney first. The reason it was changed may have done more with accountability than anything. Several years ago an entire packet of Part 2 tests went missing. This was a football exam and those guys were pissed. The IHSA took control of the situation and it just makes it tougher for guys like you to become Certified.***
It is liable to state what people went through or their personal experiences. The person that got me into officiating took the Part 2 Exam the year before the IHSA changed the process. In two sports the association that was giving the test went over the exam so everyone could have the answers. It was a common practice and many changes were made to eliminate that practice. I am sure there were other reasons, but there is a reason there are no more officials that give the test. The school now control the test (AD's and Principles usually). The test is given on a specific day, not just a time period that is open for discussion. I think you need to find out what liable is. Because neither is my information false or purposely misleading. I am just telling you what many officials have told me and others. Matter of fact I have heard many official recently talk about how lucky they were to not have to go thru the same promotion process that we have today. Are they lying too?

So you know the reasons why everyone wants the answers? I know after I completed my test, I wanted the answers to see which one I got wrong. I recieved them and it was clear which answer was wrong and I was able to figure out why. Just because you cannot think of a reason, does not make what you are saying as the case. I know when I took the Part 2 Exam, I had people send me the answers after I took the test so I could find out if I passed. It mattered to me so I would know when to start having those promotion evaluations filled out. The IHSA did not tell you for a few weeks after you take the test and I wanted to know what I recieved and why I got certain answers wrong. I think you need to speak for yourself.

Peace
