It's an open book test. Whether the answers are posted for all to see or not it's a "piece of cake" to get the correct answers if you really want them. If the powers that be really wanted an objective test they could hold it as closed book test as part of a Rules Interpretation Meeting. If it were done this way the weeping and knashing of teeth would be unbearable. Don't you think they know that the answers are shared? IMHO test scores (except for the Certified Test) should have no bearing on post season assignments.

The last line says it all. In Illinois, where you live and work, this test does matter. There are other states that count the test towards promotion, as well. Whether the answers are easy to get or not has no bearing. It is still cheating.

Want a more real example...just because you have a friend that can get you heroin, doesn't make it any less illegal. Are we supposed to wring our hads because others don't have such connections? Officials are supposed to uphold the rules. Passing out the answers while the test is still open is wrong. This is not a grey area. Enforce the rules or don't take the check!
