Studying for NFHS Exam

[Bad Zebra]

I find it useful to go through Fed and state tests from previous years and pay particular attention to questions that I got wrong. Invariably, these questions seem to make their way forward in some variation each year. I usually wait until a week before the exam to look at old ones. I just took our state exam last night and it was reduced to 50 questions instead of 100, now each worth 2 points. A lot of grumbling amongst the attendees.

I have heard that the ARS software is great for getting ready for the exam. I'm buying it today or tomorrow and then just quizzing the crap out of myself until our exam date (first week in December around here). As far as your OP, I agree that it depends on your weakness. Rule 4 is a great place to start for all officials.

The ARS software is the best tool for the NF tests. You do not need to read every aspect of the rules. What you need to know is the NF asks the same questions, over and over and over again. The AR shows the kinds of questions they ask over the years and this is the best tool to have you learn what is asked. Also you can tailor training tests to aspects of the rules you are having trouble with. You will not need anything else after this program.
