The answer to your question is they do not send you back your score,It does not go towards your rating,And I cannot tell you what happens if you do not send your exam back because I have allways returned my exam back by the deadline.Plus the deadline to have your exam returned is December 5,2000,And even if I didn't get the answers to the exam from my board. On November 20,2000 the answers will be posted on a paticular web-site!So that's why it is important to me to ask how the exam was done in other states.I am a official who just wants to make sure the exam is being administered in my area in the proper fashion!Because I couldn't believe some committee went to the trouble to prepare the exam,To have some officials look at the exam as a joke.

That seems (as I read it, at least) to be the answer to the question, then. It's used (officially) just as an exercise in jumping through hoops -- send in the paperwork, "or else!" Thus, the local association does all it can to keep all the officials "eligible."
You seemingly (and correctly, IMHO) want to use it as a learning tool -- try the questions, look up the ones you don't know, really look up the ones you get wrong. Unfortunately, not everyone has that interest or desire.
