IAABO test.

I thought that this years IAABO test was fairly easy. Our board in Missouri mails the test to us. We had about a week to send it back. It's an open book test for us. Last year I got together with 12 other members to go over the questions and get the correct answer. Some of those bozo's submitted incorrect answers. Still, at least 10% of our organization get less than 86%. Some of the failing officials are our senior officials.
Like BillyMac, I also retrieved the NFHS Part I test. We only need to take the NFHS Part II test.

Same here. My interpreter told us that the international office put a lot of time and effort into making this year's exam challenging, but fair. I believe that they succeeded.

In our area, the IAABO test is closed book. Then after you pass it, you'll do the open book NFHS test in a group setting the following years.

I'd like to find a copy of this year's refresher after all of the test dates are over. Guess that makes me "nerdy"...
