Tony, You were around here last year when there were some looking for the test answers.

Why are some (myself included) reluctant to post the correct answers?
I had to work and study the rules to gain the knowledge, why would I not want someone who I may be calling with to work to acheive rules knowledge rather than just being able to copy an answer?

How can that possibly be a bad thing?
As in my original answer, the ASA test is designed to make you learn (through study). If the correct answers are posted, some wouldn't bother with the study at all.

Isn't the forum designed to help any individual willing to seek assistance and guidance?
Ahh, but that is done here all the time, and in that way the questioners are led to the correct answers, not just given them. Mike, (Irish) and others continually offer to grade people tests, but not to supply an answer sheet.

Or am I mistaken?

Maybe. Its possible that you misunderstood the intent of my post.


As for posting the answers from previous years, well the cats out of the bag. An NUS member pointed out in a clinic, (and many already knew this). The answer key has been the same for several years! If the answer for #1 was B in 2002, it was B in '03 and '04! Pretty easy to find the correct answers there!
