Yes I have. I only bought the programs when I had to go for promotion in my respective sports, which required the taking of the NF Part 2 Exam. It was worth it for those purposes. I would not buy the program for any other reason unless you just had to have a rulebook that was accessed by your computer. And now you cannot get the comic book diagrams like you once could in the past.

Peace

Yes I have. I received it in October and had two weeks to study from. I was a great help to me to understand the type and format of questions that would be asked. Some of the answers change with rules revisions, but it allows you to edit those. The rules are previous years thru 2007. However, this is probably their last year to distribute. In summation it was worth $30 to me. There are other programs on the market too that others suggested to me and I can probably find that thread after I get home tonight.

There was a thread on this earlier, but apparently the NFHS is not licensing them to publish the rules again. Probably NFHS will publish their own study guide.

I bought this last year, and liked it. When I had a few minutes, I could fire up the 'puter and answer 10 questions. Plus the online rules were helpful to have. Searchable. Copy and pasteable. Good stuff. I'm sorry to see them go.
