The nature of the rules is such that it's important to understand the importance of those single words in applying the rules to the game. I don't think the T/F type test is the best way to go, but I think the NFHS does do a decent job of using that format as an instructional tool.

However I feel they frequently do not do a good job of expressing the scope of each question. It is sometimes difficult to know whether a known exception to the rule that isn't mentioned in the question will affect the answer they're looking for.
