Part 1 Test Question

[deecee]

At least, implies the minimum and that there could be more.

So having at least 1 TO would be that I could also have 2 or 3, etc. That is what I think the question meant.

So, I get at least one, and if I have more, I can use them. But, I have at least one timeout.

I still don't get how this statement, as is, is false. I get what you all are saying, but the question needs to be worded better if they want to get it to say that.

I answered true, but they say I got that wrong, referencing 5-11-1. What in 5-11-1 makes the above statement false? What am I missing?

Let's take what you substitute for "at least" and put it in the OP's question

During each extra period, each team is entitled to, at minimum, at least one time-out. True or false?

What about that is false? Each team IS entitled to at minimum at least one time-out per extra period.

Im just looking at this from the authors POV. And with these questions they usually aren't as cut and dry as they should be.

Could just be that the answer key is wrong. Wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last. Then again, we also know that when it comes to NFHS, that they aren't the best when it comes to the written word.

Not sure if this is the Fed test or if Wisconsin puts out their own. Rich, you would know.

Wisconsin uses the NFHS Part I and Part II exams.

Or that. But I was hoping that they got this one right. Not asking for much.

Had the exact question on my test. The answer, in my case "at least", was TRUE.

And it should still be true. Once the OT starts, they will have anywhere from one to six. That's at least one. No linguistic gymnastics can make this statement false.

Yes, we also agree that it's TRUE.
