As shown on page 2 of the case book.

You can count on a couple wrong answers on the NFHS test every year. Not sure if it is poor proofreading on their part or what, but there are almost always at least 2 that the "answer key" has wrong. If that gets us into our rule and case books more deeply, so be it.

I always thought that it was to show who the cheaters are. The people who get a copy of the answer key will get 100% while clearly answering those two or three questions incorrectly. Nearly everyone else in the group who reads and answers the questions with their own mind will have those questions scored as incorrect, but the test-giver will know that they really know the rule and didn't cheat.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it.

Any of you cheaters who read this, make sure you get a few wrong so you don't bring attention to yourself.

If it were true, it wouldn't be about getting a couple of random questions wrong. It would be a couple of very specific questions that no one should get wrong. Sort of the "control" in the experiment.

That said, I doubt the NFHS is doing that.

I was joking. The whole idea is stupid.

Interesting thought...I used to send messages to the NFHS asking for clarification on some of those "wrong" answers. Most of the time they would admit the mistake. Then Washington started using their own tests and not the NFHS one. So I didn't care anymore.

I'm using that as the reason I've never gotten a perfect score! Thanks.
