Having people take tests is not always about the questions. It might be about some but certainly not all. In my experience in the education/training fields, in situations like these it is more about people just getting into the material. In looking up an answer to say, a silly question such as yours, people will see/read other, more pertinent information. They will get browsing/reading and covering so much more material than just what the question needed. This is the main point of many, not all, associations/etc. that have officials take open book tests. It often times, gets people together, which spurs rules/cases conversation, build camaraderie, etc. Indeed, many questions are silly, but the end result is that many get somewhat better. Just my two cents, not looking for a debate/argument. |

Nothing to debate or argue, it is my opinion. Take it for what it is worth. But most of those real rules conversations I see people have are often at the bar or actual situations that happen in games (or other levels). Peace |

There are a lot of better ways to learn the rules than taking a test. Because if all you do is look in the rulebooks or casebook because of a test, that is not a very good way to learn the rules, let alone how to officiate. You have to constantly be reading and learning from someone or something. I just like better questions that really teach you the rules of the game that you will apply, not the way things you will never actually verify one way or the other.

Help...so nervous
Does anyone have the current exam? Even though it's open book my nerves are getting the best of me. Please private message me. Thanks in advance.

Within a few days of posting the request for a copy of the test I got a PDF of it, Worked through the test for a couple of days, then on the morning it was opened to me on the Arbiter, November 1st I took the test, submitted it at 8:36 AM and found I got a 99%. Now for the next two months, I have to wait to find out which one I missed. It will drive me nuts, well at least make me wonder.
There are lots of stupid questions, but I think the point of the test is to get our noses in the book. In my state, Utah you can officiate getting an 80% and it is open book, also an open book on part 2. If some think I was promoting cheating, I am sorry. I simply wanted to get a head start, had a free weekend to work on it. Peace, HavaGr8day |

I know in my state as an example we get all the test questions to review and can only submit the test online. There were times that we got what those questions were if you knew the right person. You still had to go through the test and figure out the answers. I do not see why timing matters unless we are talking about a test you have to take on-site on a specific set of days. But again, if a test is open book and has a large window, I do not see how seeing the test makes much difference. Peace |

I agree with JRut about questions about lines and the size of the ring. Who cares? I just assume all of that is fine when I walk into the gym. I'm there to do my job and not measure anything. |

What's the difference if he worked on it October 30 & 31 when he had time and took the test on November 1 as opposed to working on it November 1 & 2 then taking it on November 3? It's the same damn thing. He had a free weekend and wanted to get it out of the way. Maybe he has 3 kids and another job and other things that take up his time. He had some free time and wanted to get the test done. No big deal at all!!!!!!!!! |
