Key to Part 1

In Illinois, we can take the Part 1 test online and the score will be posted immediately. About a month later the answer key is posted.

In this state, one of the many factors that is computed into playoff assignments is your Part 1 score!

I had to come back and edit this. I just went online and saw that in our state, the Part 1 Test is open until November 15th! You emailed answers to people that still have time to take the test!

JRut, are these points true? Just wondering.

If these points are true, and an official's online Part 1 test score is related to possible playoff assignments, then I would certainly agree that using supplied answers is just plain wrong. I believe that some other states also use the Part 1 exam as their official exam too, and haven't formally written the test yet either. I get the marking key sheet for both the NFHS Part 1 and 2 tests every year, but I am very careful who I send them too. And, btw, every year I personally write the test closed book to see what I know and where I need to get my head into the book. Iow, I pretty much agree with Camron Rust's take on this.
