There has been a long-standing difference of opinion on this board about this sort of question for several years. There are two basic opinions. Tony and Mark, among others, feel that it's not particularly helpful to simply supply the answers to the tests. If you don't know the answer, then you ought to dig a little (either in the rulebook, or by hashing it out with other officials) to understand the answer.

I agree with Tony and Mark.I've trained officials for a long time,and I still do.Supplying someone with test answers doesn't teach them a thing,and doesn't do them any good either.They aren't learning anything if you do their work for them. If they do the best that they can on a test, then they'll find out where they they went wrong when that test is graded.It will also point out the areas of rules study that they will need to work on.

Clay,do you really think that it's right,or it actually helps university students, if someone is supplying them with the answers for their exams?
