Ditto. I wonder how many people here simply get an answer key and don't take the time to take the tests. And we help feed that by going over the Part I and Part II tests at association meetings, too. You really wouldn't ever have to take a test yourself, I wouldn't think.

Our state has foiled that by giving each official a discrete test. The online-only T/F test has 50 questions which are pulled from a pool of 250 NFHS-supplied questions at the time we log in. Thus, an answer key is useless.

The whole purpose of our pre-season test is to get officials "into the book" by allowing enough time to look up the answers. We have 2 hours to answer the 50 questions.

That's a good implementation, IMO. Please post or PM which state is doing that, and I'll pass it along.
