It is basic ethics and integrity. Unfortunately, some don't have a problem stepping over the lines.

What exactly was the "unintended advantage"?

He finished an open book test on his own on day 1 of a 30 day window. Would it make you feel better if he finished it on day 3 of the window? That's what we are talking about here.

Relax a little. You are not God's gift to officiating.

Neither are you, based on the malarky you normally post on this forum.

Never said I was and I'm not the one bashing somebody and trying to pass on my version of ethics. I would like to think that we could support each other and pass information along. Rather than rip somebody in a situation that doesn't concern us/you and we don't know the whole story.

Malarky? Great word. I don't post much, but I don't think I would classify it as malarky. I guess we know what you think of yourself.

If we are talking about the NF test, many states take them at different times. Some take the test in the summer. Some have their own test. And unless you are getting the answers, there is no way cheating. We talk about the answers in many associations and because it is an open book test. The test results are almost meaningless unless you really need that extra power point. And since it is an open book test, if the state had an issue with this, they would tell us. It is pretty common people get most of the answers or wait to submit their test until they have reviewed it. No one here really cares. It has been that way long before I officiated and the NF test was sent to us in the mid-90s. So it is possible this guy wanted the test because like many of us will take the test and look up all the answers and references that fit the test.

Again, some people really need to stick to what happens in their area and get upset if someone is violating some rules where you live. But in this age of the internet, people will get a national publication before their state will give it to them. And unless they are violating those rules, we have no idea what is cheating to their area.

Peace

Well said JRut! I agree with your take.
