jicecone,

You are absolutely right... we all need to be in the books and for the beginning official and even for veterans the FED tests ensure that accomplishment - unless you are copying someone else's answers. Being in the rulebook is what is needed for much of an official's development; the requirement of a test guides that development.

Perhaps I should expand my statement although I think most got the intended message.

The FED tests are a ridiculous tool for evaluating an official's ability on the field. 100% on the test won't make a lick of difference to the screaming coach if you haven't used your game management skills to squlech that situation before the coach starts screaming.
