How about old exams?

I am preparing to take the NFHS exam for the first time (trying to work up from the rec league ranks). Is it kosher to ask for a copy of an old NFHS exam? I don't care about the answers, that's my job; I just want to see how we will be tested. (If it's similar to the grammar atrocities they commit on the baseball exams, I guess I won't be surprised.)

That is entirely acceptable.

I find that the questions are really not as bad as some people make them out to be. More often than not, people that get a few wrong blame the question rather than themselves when they often read info info into the question that was not part of the question.

With that in mind, I would appreciate a copy of a 2007 or 2006 exam if anyone has one. Thanks in advance!

If you don't mind spending a buck or two, I've used this before and liked it.

BITS, I have to believe that you meant to post a link to ARS with that post.

Blame it on CRS disease!

I'm not sure what CRS disease is, but it probably goes nicely with my OCD and ADD

And yes, the link, which is probably still on my clipboard of my computer at home, is http://www.rules-study.com/

I agree, ARS is a great rules study tool, but it's more than that. The indexed search capability is pretty useful as well. The 2007-2008 version isn't released yet, but I expect it will be in the next few weeks.......well worth the investment IMHO.

LHSAA Study Guide

http://www.lhsaa.org/officials/manua...StudyGuide.pdf


I haven't looked at all this yet this year, but I'm guessing it is last year's guide updated for this year's changes, maybe?

It is a list of t/f test type questions which will make you read your books.

In the past there were some questions which I considered poorly written, a few to the point of being unanswerable.
