Exclamation No Exam Chatter?
What gives?

Took my test yesterday and was happy to say I found it easier than most years. Am I getting used to it? Smarter? More experienced? Unsure - don't care.

I found fewer issues with what I perceived as confusing terminology in my version - less of the "should", "could", "will", "may," "might" type splitting of hairs. More straight forward IMO

Only 50 questions this yr (for us anyhow). Still the usual "uniform police" questions and several in the area of Team Control and Throw-ins for me.

Overall, another yr behind me for that. Now, let the scrimmages begin!

Mine is in about 10 days or so. Fewer trick questions. At least down here. I think it is a combination of a number of things which includes having a broader base of knowledge to recognize what is correct and what is not.

NCAA test was a piece of cake, I ran through the 35 questions in about 30 minutes and got a 94 (33 of 35). I know one of the ones I missed b/c it was one of those "always/never" questions.

I'm doing the FED test right without books in front me. I'm flagging all the ones I need to check the book for, which so far is quite a few

Took me ~90 minutes to do the FED Test. I looked up fewer answers than previous yrs......of course, apparently, I should have looked at a few more.......

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

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.

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.

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?

After I hit "submit," I had my results almost instantaneously.

It tells us the areas we missed (4-3), but not the specific question.

Says, we'll be able to review our specific test results/questions in Dec - after testing is over.
