Why anyone would want an exam to see if they qualify for the "I Am A Blind Official" program is beyond me. :eek:

I would appreciate a copy of the page references for both exams if anyone can help? ([email protected])...I don't mind looking up the answers/ I have already completed both tests.

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.

Thanks for the info, Chuck. Appreciated.

We will get our IAABO refresher exam next Sunday and then we have 6 nights scheduled throughout the state to turn them in and go over them. This year the closest one to us is the first on the schedule. The classes for new officials start on the 30th and culminate with the written exam on the last Monday of November.

So, to answer the OP....I'll be getting mine in 7 days anyway along with the new rule book. And that's fine by me.

In some areas, if no IAABO patch, then no work.

And some areas can't work if they don't pass the refresher exam. As per Chuck's post above, the members of his IAABO Board are fined and have to re-write the exam if they fail. If you don't pass it the second time, you're suspended for a year.

And some areas haven't written the IAABO refresher exam yet. As Chuck noted, the due-in date for the refresher exam for his IAABO board was approximately December 1.

Of course none of this will ever stop the exam/answer-traders anyway. They gotta do what they gotta do.
