Leave it alone. I have yet to see a test without mistakes.

If the questions had no bearing on the promotion, or you missing the questions became the difference of a certain level (for example, you're the #2-ranked instead of the #1-ranked), I would bring it up to the association. Have the questions exactly as written, as well as rule book cites, case plays, and any other relevant information to prove the answer was incorrect. I would request a meeting with whomever is responsible for the promotions.

Now, the ethical question is whether someone else was passed up for a promotion (or someone got a promotion) because of the incorrect answers. In your case, where the questions don't have a huge bearing on your status, I'd probably email the same details to the people responsible for the promotions. It's possible they'll evaluate the questions and re-evaluate the promotions or non-promotions.

Other than your association, good luck. There's wrong questions every year, and we're instructed by our association to either (1) give the incorrect answer on the test, knowing what the correct answer is; or (2) miss the question.

I agree, every state does it differently and for as long as I've known, there is always some that feel the test is totally unfair. I also know that there are blantly wrong answers too.

However it always basically came down to "it is what it is". Good Luck

Cool

piaa_ump,

I believe that's "lie". (Damn Jesuits!)

Nonetheless, thanks to you, dash, and the other gentlemen who have offered me your wise counsel and assistance in the matter.

I believe my question has been answered.

JM
