Why don't the mods treat these stupid offers and requests as spam and just get rid of them?

Chuck, just for my own info, when is the Refresher or regular test actually gonna be written? We got some guys in my association that belong to IAABO, and I'm sure that they haven't written anything yet.

I'll get back to you tomorrow. I want to double check to make sure I give you the right info. But we haven't taken any tests here either.

Thanks and appreciated. I'm sure that my guys would never do what the...um....persons above are doing, but I'd just like to know for my own benefit.

On my board, we give the "Official IAABO Rules Test -- Written Examination" (a 50 question test) to our new applicants on the first Monday of November. We used to give this same test to our members, but had to stop this practice b/c other IAABO boards in MA weren't giving it to their new applicants until the last Monday in November. So there was some concern that copies of the test could find their way to applicants in other areas. (Kind of a silly concern, if you ask me, but they didn't ask.)

So now we give our members the IAABO Refresher Exam. They get the exam on the Wednesday after the first Monday in November at our annual rules interpretation meeting. The exam must be completed and returned by December 1st or so. I'm not exactly sure of the due date this year. If you don't pass the test (85% or better) or fail to turn it in, you pay a fine and must re-take the test within two weeks. If you don't pass it the second time or fail to turn it in, you're suspended for 1 year. Pretty severe penalty, but it doesn't happen very often.
