Having seen the IAABO Refresher Exam for the first time this year, I have to say that I like it better. The NF test is a series of correctly or incorrectly worded rules. You have to take the test often enough to understand whcih answer the NF is looking for.

The IABO exam seems to be more of a practical look at different plays. Like you said, it may be a once in a lifetime thing, but anything can happen.
