It's not about the test score, it's about the official's integrety.
Isn't passing a closed-book, proctored NFHS Part II exam in Illinois part of an official being able to advance in category classification so that you are eligible for year-end state assignments?

The problem is that the potential for cheating is there. Perception may not be reality, but that perception alone is a problem.
