A lot of states stopped taking the NF test, so I am sure that is why there is not much talk about the test. We still have to wait about a week before our test is even available. We are in a different time I guess.

Peace

Got a 96 on FED test...based on the rules referenced I missed one of them b/c I mis-read the question.

Ha, I got a 96 on the NFHS test too! I learned something (new to me) from one of my errors, and still don't know the correct answer to the other one I think I missed.

Give us a crack at it.

The rules reference was concerning successive time outs. I think (thought) I understood what they are, and when you can and can't have one .... maybe I just misread (or mis-answered???) the question. Do "they" ever make mistakes on the correct answers for these tests?

I submitted mine yesterday. I got a 94. On 2 that I missed, semantics tripped me up. On the third one, I read too much into the question. Oh, woe is me. Not!!

In Michigan, no testing required, I believe we are one of two states that do not require one.

Closed book here, 50 rules questions, plus mechanics questions. We get a practice exam that we work on together, before the exam on 11/27. My experience has been that the practice exam is always tougher than the real deal. Makes for good preparation, if you ask me.

This is the new protocol here in the land across the lake from Rut:

"Beginning in 2011-12, for an official to be eligible to work a
Quarterfinal, Semifinal or Final contest, that official must take and
pass the 30-question MHSAA Rules Test for those sports in which the
exam is offered with a minimum score of 80 percent."

It just came out today and must be submitted online by December 8.

While I seem to get around the same score every year, I don't seem to "read anything into it" anymore. I've gotten better and they have certainly become less frustrating. I seem to either mis-read the question, the question is just poorly written (IMO) or I make a stupid error.

I looked at my exam from last yr - duh!

I'm the same way. I always seem to make that dumb mistake/s that keeps me from perfection. OH well, so be it. No matter what I still get to work the night shift.

Here in Ohio, you take the test with an open book to get your license. After 2 or more years when you are eligible and want to be able to do Varsity, you take the test again but its closed book.

After that you never have to do the test again unless you let your license lapse.
