I don't know about the rest of you, but I think that I probably have the exams and answers to every umpire exam I have taken. I file them away for future reference.
Must be nice to live in a state where they let you have a copy of a real test. Here in Alabama, I don't believe they even use the national NFHS test. (I'm sure they don't in football.) They have questions submitted by "someone' which they then put 100 of together. (All true-false.) We then have to answer either the even or the odd number questions. They number the tests so they can be sure they get the right number back. You then get a raw score several weeks later. You may be able to get the numbers of the questions you missed, but you still, without a photographic memory, don't know what the question was!

That is the registration test. Later, (next week) they offer the classification test. Again, it is 50 true-false questions that have been submitted by "experts" around the state. You never get any feed-back on what you missed or whether you actually did miss it, or whether the person, when they supplied the answer, just happened to be remembering the way it was a decade ago!
