NFHS Part 2 Exam
Just submitted it. And passed with room to spare... but just want to warn the masses, there are a couple of 'correct' answers that are simply wrong.
I know, not a surprise... |
I got 100% on my exam, so I think what you say is Fake News. :D
|
Congrats
Or you had the answers in advance :)
64 & 65 both have multiple correct answers...that's what bugs me most... |

I only have access to Part 1 (which I've completed). Part 1 had a question with 2 correct answers (Question 1 about direct technicals on a coach). It also had one question that was either ambiguous or just wrong depending on how you read it (the one on goaltending and entering the basket from below). |
Here question 64 and 65 from Part 2.
64. The ball becomes dead, or remains dead, when:
A) Time expires for a quarter or period, unless the ball is in flight for a try for goal. B) An official's whistle is blown. C) A player-control foul or team-control foul is called. D) All of the above. 65. The ball is dead when: A) A violation is committed by the free-throw team. B) An official's whistle sounds. C) Time expires for a quarter, except when a try is in flight. D) All of the above. |

I'm not sure what the confusion is unless "All of the above" is unlcear. Rule 6-7: Quote:

B is also true....you blow the whistle, the ball is dead, in general. |
65
Why would 65 not be 'all of the above?' Because the 'exceptions' aren't included in the responses? That, to me, is deceptive...
|
Rule 6-7 EXCEPTION: The ball does not become dead until the try or tap ends, or until the airborne shooter returns to the floor, when:
a. Article 5, 6, or 7 occurs while a try or tap for a field goal is in flight. Article 6 is the horn sounding to end a quarter/extra period. Not well written, but... |

It sounds like the confusion comes from the fact that the "in flight on a try for goal" exemption is only mentioned when it comes to the expiration of time.

Tricky Wording ...

I think the primary point on these questions is that they are all generally true. There are nuanced exceptions. But, that is reading more into the questions than is there. |

NCAA tests and quizzes actually ask 'real world,' situational cases that force you into the rules and case books. |
