If you're talking about the IAABO refresher test, then it is completely different.

The bottom line is that every state pretty much sets their own testing criteria. You really can't compare state vs. state.

My point was that it doesn't really matter what a state uses. If the officials in that state are getting their exam and answers before they have to write, then they are cheating- plain and simple.
