2017-18 NFHS Basketball Part I Test

[JRutledge]

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.

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.

Having more time for an exam, or "a head start" as you call it, is a form of cheating. Why not just take it during the time that your state provides? That would be the honorable way.

So if a state gives you 3 months to take the test and you got the test a week earlier, you have cheated? Really????

And if you submit the exam just two days later, have you completed it on-time?

Really? Cheating? Some of you people need to chill out.

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!!!!!!!!!
