In Illinois we are not using the FED-written test this year. The IHSA obtained a pre-written test from another state to use as their Part 1 test (which everyone takes) and the IHSA Baseball interpreters (7 of 'em) pooled their resources and wrote a Part 2 test (for those umpires seeking to qualify for and work post-season tournament play).
We're still using the FED rules and manuals, we're just not using their testing materials. As with any test, I'm sure there are a few poorly written questions and questions that test-takers will find fault with. But their OUR questions
