Mine didn't tell me which ones I got wrong -- only a final score. Is there any way to know which questions I messed up?

You don't know what you get wrong... That's the crappy part.

If you did, everyone could easily get 100% by just flipping their incorrect answers on the 2nd try.

Cool your jets

After testing period is over, we VA officials get a complete rundown of the results with rules references for incorrect answers. Its there for review, if you care to look.

i have been trying to find every question in the book, but there are a few that 1. I can't find and 2. are maybe over thinking. The wording doesn't help in some instances. I am making myself crazy!

Other than the question about the size of the bench area, I found the others to be reasonably straightforward.

Help (although maybe not direct answers) is available.

I think I am probably over thinking this one:

A1, while in possession of the ball, begins her try. During A1 try and before the ball is released, B2 illegally pushes through A2's screen to defend A1 and is whistled for a foul. A1 continues her try and the ball enters the basket.

a.The goal is cancelled and A1 is awarded two free throws.
b.The goal is scored and A2 is awarded a one-and-one bonus.
c.The goal is cancelled and A2 is awarded a one-and-one bonus.
d.The goal is scored and A1 is awarded one free throw.

I have ruled out b & c because nowhere in the question does it state that team A is in the bonus. Also, while it states that B2 illegally pushes through the screen of A2, it also states she is defending A1 and called for foul- to me I think that she fouls A1 while in the act of shooting--- so the goal shall count and should get 1 free throw....

my thought process correct??

Too much "Team A shall not ever fail to prevent not moving into or away from an area not proscribed by an arc no wider than not the distance between his (obligatory ambiguous pronoun) pivot foot and non-pivot feet without failing to prevent moving into said area, unless he does not first fail to dribble and/or fail to dribble the ball between said movements," for ya?

Yes, when the testing period closes (sometime this Friday 11/9 iirc), you will be able to see your test answers and also the correct answers ... so you'll know which ones you missed and what the correct answer is.

I don't remember if a rules reference will be provided or not.
