This although may back fire on them because we will see less officials pass and be eligible to officiate varsity games and post season games. It will force people to actually start reading the books..

It will probably do the latter. I doubt the number passing will drop far enough to be a problem. You might lose a couple of heavy hitters who've been winging it all these years...until the realize they've got to dig in and correct all those myths they've been perpetuating all along.
Also, you might still have guys taking it together and sharing answers....internet cafe, library, people with laptops...anywhere they can get on the internet at the same time. Heck, if they're clever, they could open up multiple browsers on the screen at the same time and click the same answer in all the open windows....one after another.
There will always be those that find a way to be lazy.
Also, there is rarely a shortage of officials wanting to work the varsity games. More often, the shortage is for JV, Freshman, and below.
