Question Testing Formats

I know that at this time of the year most of you are working on floor skills and not into the rule book as much as you are at the first of the season while studying for the NFHS, IAABO, or whatever test you have to take to qualify for the season.

My question has to deal with the format of the test(s) you take. In my neck of the woods we have to take the NFHS test which is written in a True-False format. The IAABO test I also receive is written in a format that gives a situation, the officials action, and then asks if the official was correct for that situation (Yes-No).

I personally have a problem with the NFHS True-False answer format and tend to read things into the question that are not there. Of the questions I missed on the test this year, I actually knew the rule for all but one, but mis-interpeded the question.

Perhaps one of you who knows how to set up a survey could do it for this question. What type of test format do you perfer? True-False or Yes-No.
