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

The Part 2 exam involves promotion, not post season. Most officials that works the post season have not taken the Part 2 exam in years (like me). And many of the officials that once took the Part 2 exam many years ago never had to take the test as a "true" closed book test or with all the restrictions I had to go through when I took it. It was an easy test when half the answers were already on the ARS computer program. Memorizing answers does not in my opinion prove you know what are actually in the rules.
