Count me as one of those who missed #51. As usual, the reason I miss the vast majority of questions when I go through the test initially is because I'm caught up in the Clintonian "meaning of is is". It would please me greatly if the NFHS tests would test my knowledge of the rules instead of torturing the English language in the hopes of making me get it wrong.
It would also be nice if the rules concentrated on things that I am more likely to use during a game. Within the last few years, there was a question "The cross bar is ten feet off the ground as measured to the bottom of the cross bar itself". OK, so it's false since it's to the top of the cross bar, not the bottom, and I know that. But darn it, I seem to have a bad habit of forgetting my tape measure in my bag and so never get to apply that knowledge when I get on the field. What purpose does the question serve?
Does somebody know what the test creation philosophy of the NFHS is? To me, it seems like their goal many times is to trip you up, not test your knowledge of the rule and case books.
