Cool Proper channels

So, let's just say, for the sake of argument, that an umpire applied for "promotion" within his state's HS association, and one of the requirements was to attain a "passing" grade on the FED "Part II" multiple choice online test.

Further, let's say while taking said test, the umpire found 2 questions (8% of the questions presented) were simply "wrong". Let's say for one, the "answer key" was wrong - though one of the multiple choice options was a correct answer to the question presented, while for the other, NONE of the choices presented was correct. I'm not saying "poorly worded", "too tricky", "ambiguous", or anything like that - just flat-out, demonstrably WRONG.

Let's also say that the umpire achieved the required score and couldn't care less about having his score "adjusted" or anything like that.

What would be the "proper channel" to point out these errors to the proper people without coming across like a whiner, a know-it-all, a jerk, or whatever? Who ARE the proper people? Does it vary from one state to the next? Would they care? Would they just as soon not be bothered?

What say you?

JM
